The global single-use bioreactors market is projected to reach USD 9.1 billion by 2029 from USD 4.4 billion in 2024, at a CAGR of 15.4% during the forecast period of 2024 to 2029. The advantages of SUBs above conventional bioreactors drive the market expansion. Made of premium plastic materials, SUBs are intended for single-use use hence sterilizing and cleaning between batches is not necessary. This lowers cross-contamination risk greatly and increases operational effectiveness. The rise of SUBs as a fundamental technology inside the single-use bioprocessing sector has transformed the development and manufacturing of biopharmaceutical products. Their benefits over traditional stainless-steel bioreactors make them the preferred option for biopharmaceutical companies, CMOs, and research facilities.

"The pharmaceutical & biotechnology companies segment accounted for the largest share by end user in 2023."
In 2023, the pharmaceutical & biotechnology companies segment accounted for the largest share by end user in the global single-use bioreactors market. The growth in this market can be attributed to rising R&D initiatives by pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, and biotechnology companies and the increased production of biologics and biosimilars. Moreover, the widespread use of SUBs among pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies across established and developed markets, such as North America and Europe, and the rising approvals of biologics and biosimilars in these regions are the major factors supporting the growth of this end-user segment.
"The US has continued to dominate the single-use bioreactors market during the forecast period of 2024-2029."
The US is the world's largest biopharmaceutical market and a leader in biopharmaceutical research/investments. Pharmaceutical companies in the US are actively participating in developing biologics and biosimilars and increasingly utilizing single-use bioreactors, which offers less turnaround time, has low installation costs, and is energy-efficient. These factors support the growth of the US single-use bioreactors market. Furthermore, the expiry of many biologics contributes to the growth of the biopharmaceutical industry in the US. The US accounts for the highest number of patents due for expiration. Several strategies are being undertaken by pharmaceutical companies in the US, such as the development of biosimilars, new formulations for patented drugs, new routes of administration for known drugs, and combinations for extending drug commercial lifecycles, which will result in an increase in biopharmaceutical R&D and new generations of biologic medicines. As single-use bioreactors are associated with a low risk of contamination and low implementation costs, their adoption in biopharmaceutical companies for R&D is expected to increase. These factors are supporting the growth of the single-use bioreactors market in the country.
