The agreement includes delivering contract manufacturing services at Pfizer’s McPherson, Kansas facility.

Rising government support towards biosimilar & biological drugs is expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities for players in the global single use system in biopharma manufacturing market. For instance, India has a thriving biosimilar ecosystem in comparison to other countries and because of that Indian pharmaceutical companies have risen as the global market leaders in biosimilars. There are more than 100 biopharmaceutical companies in India.

Global Single Use System in Biopharma Manufacturing Market Trends:

Increase in demand for single use systems around the world is expected to propel growth of the global single use system in biopharma manufacturing market. For instance, in March 2022, Central Research Laboratories launched a new Single-Use Beta Bag product line. Single-use bags are indispensable components in ready-to-use, component-transfer, and waste-handling applications during the manufacturing of Life Science products.

Increase in development of single-use solutions is expected to drive growth of the global single use system in biopharma manufacturing market. For instance, in April 2022, High Purity New England announced the launch of a new manufacturing facility. It will serve as the company's Speciality Manufacturing and Distribution Center and increases its manufacturing capacity to develop single-use systems/solutions.

Global Single Use System in Biopharma Manufacturing Market Restraints:

High-end manufacturing requirements are expected to hamper growth of the global single use system in biopharma manufacturing market. For instance, biopharmaceutical manufacturing is characterized by the use of advanced technologies, harnessing of new scientific advances, and driven by a highly complex research and development (R&D) enterprise.

High cost of manufacturing is expected to hinder growth of the single use system in biopharma manufacturing market. For instance, large-scale biotech-manufacturing facilities require $ 200 million to $ 500 million or more to build, compared with similar-scale small-molecule facilities that may cost just $ 30 million to $ 100 million, and they can take four to five years to build.
