Sterile filtration is the process of removing microorganisms from a fluid stream without adversely affecting product quality. Drug sterility is important requirement in the pharmaceutical industry. Virus inactivation or removal is required for biologically derived therapeutics such as recombinant gene proteins, monoclonal antibodies, and plasma components. Moreover, membrane filtration is widely used for both bacterial removal and viral clearance.

Market Dynamics

Growth in the biopharmaceutical industry and increasing investment in research and development activities are the major factors driving the sterile filtration market growth. Moreover, high demand for biopharmaceutical molecules and increasing prevalence of diabetes and kidney failure are some of the other factors propelling growth of the market. According to a report by Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA), in 2015, the research-based pharmaceutical industry allots around 15% to 20% of revenue to R&D activities and invests over US$ 50 billion on R&D annually. According to the U.S Department of Commerce, the generic drug sales increased to US$ 70 billion in U.S. due to a large number of drugs going off-patent and healthcare reforms favoring generics.

However, stringent government regulations for validation of filtration process are expected to limit the sterile filtration market growth during the forecast period.
