Continuous and Semi-Continuous Bioprocessing Market report features an extensive study of the current market landscape and future potential of the...
The current focus of the users of this novel technology is primarily on upgrading individual operations to the continuous mode; as indicated earlier, some companies have already established bioprocessing lines with multiple continuous processes. Cost, (end product) quality, processing speed and operational flexibility are some of the primary driving factors of the gradual shift to continuous bioprocessing. The COVID-19 pandemic has also contributed to accelerating the adoption of continuous flow systems. Some of the existing challenges in this field include complexities related to defining continuous processes (especially those upstream to the fermentation step), and aligning the available equipment to operate as per current GMP requirements. Although an end-to-end continuous bioproduction line is still several years away, we believe that the opportunity for both innovators and service providers engaged in this domain is likely to grow in the foreseen future.
