The biological drugs are often faced with production or quality-related problems. Hence, to overcome these problems, various industries are focusing on the continuous production of biopharmaceuticals and process intensification. This, in turn, increases the adoption of continuous bioprocess techniques. It decreases production costs, shortages, variability, facility footprints, and capital costs. Similarly, it enhances the manufacturing flexibility, product yield, and simplifies scale-up methodologies. Furthermore, with the help of a real-time monitoring and control system, the product life cycle can be monitored. Thus, continuous bioprocessing enhances the product stability, availability, as well as reduces its cost.
The use of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), process automation, etc., is contributing to the digital transformation of continuous bioprocesses. The data obtained during the continuous bioprocess is systematically analyzed and forecasted with the help of AI. This, in turn, improves the control and synchronization of the process, which in turn enhances its performance and efficiency. Furthermore, the AI helps to address challenges during the continuous bioprocessing, such as nonlinearity, resource availability, complex metabolisms, parameter dimensionality, and risk mitigation.
Rising Awareness About Vaccination
The increasing awareness about the importance of vaccination is increasing their demand in the market. Furthermore, various programs are also being conducted by the government, as well as the private sector. Thus, with the help of continuous bioprocessing, the vaccine can be produced at a faster rate. At the same time, large-scale production is also possible, which is a reliable method of production. This, in turn, provides more flexible and efficient production. Thus, rising awareness drives the continuous bioprocessing market growth.
The graph represents the percentage of immunization coverage in India in FY 2023-2024. It indicates that there is a rise in immunizations conducted, which increases the demand for vaccination for the effective management of rising diseases. Thus, this in turn will ultimately promote the market growth. (Source - Ministry of Health and Family Welfare)
High Cost
Continuous bioprocessing requires sophisticated equipment, which may be costly. At the same time, their maintenance as well as monitoring requires a skilled or an expert person. Moreover, continuous bioprocessing is a complex process, which further makes it a time-consuming method. Thus, all these factors add up to the cost, which in turn can impose a restraint on the market growth.
Rising Gene and Cell Therapies
