Lyophilization Equipment and Services Market - Snapshot
Lyophilization refers to the process of water removal that is particularly utilized in the preservation of perishable products. The purpose of the process is to prolong the shelf life of the products or to render the product more suitable for transport. The global lyophilization equipment and services market is anticipated to observe considerable growth over the assessment tenure due to technological progress made in the process.
Lyophilization works through the freezing of the material, then adding heat and diminishing pressure to allow frozen water in the substance to sublimate. In comparison with untreated samples, lyophilized samples could be stored for a much longer period of time. Lyophilization or the process of freeze-drying of bacterial cultures is able to stabilize the cultures for a prolonged period of storage. In addition, this process is also to minimize the damage that could be caused by drying the sample strictly. Upon lyophilization, several microorganisms can survive quite well. After a long period of storage, rehydration of these microorganisms can be done easily and can be grown in culture media.
Rise in Production of Protein-based Drugs Likely to Spur Demand in Near Future
Lyophilization process is also utilized in the biomedical and biotechnology industries for the preservation of blood samples, purified proteins, vaccines, and various other biological substances. All these factors are expected to support expansion of the global lyophilization equipment and services market in the years to come.
The global lyophilization equipment and services market is expected to be driven by the increased demand for these products. Furthermore, technological progress in the sector is likely to add to the overall growth of the market in the years to come.
There has been a significant rise in the manufacturing and development of several biopharmaceuticals. In addition, a rise in the demand for aseptic preservation and packaging is anticipated to drive the demand for lyophilization equipment and services in the years to come. Furthermore, protein-based drugs are also witnessing a rise in the production, which is anticipated to boost the demand for the product.
Lyophilization process is used by pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturing industries in order to expand the life span and reduce the damage to sensitive products such as enzymes, antibodies, blood plasma, proteins and vaccines. Various technological advancements and increasing risk of contamination of high value pharmaceutical products are few of the factors contributing to the growth of the global lyophilization equipment and services market. It is vital for every pharmaceutical organization to maintain the function and efficacy of the drug molecule and prevent it from damage. Furthermore, growth in the number of commercially available vaccines and injectables for various disease conditions and rising demand of contract manufacturing and outsourcing activities in the biopharmaceutical industry is also expected to accentuate the growth of the global lyophilization equipment and services market in the coming few years.
The global lyophilization equipment and services market is segmented by equipment type into bench-top lyophilizers, tray lyophilizers, rotary lyophilizers and freeze drying microscopes. Tray lyophilizers accounted for the largest share of more than 45% of the overall lyophilization equipment market in 2013. The segment is also expected to maintain its lead during the forecast period through 2014 to 2020. Factors that have contributed towards the large market size of tray lyophilizers are vast usage in large scale production systems and long-term stability of pharmaceutical products. Furthermore, lyophilization services are classified into cycle development, aseptic filling and bulk lyophilization. Among these mentioned products, bulk lyophilization accounted for largest market share in 2013 and is expected to grow at an approximate CAGR of over 6.5%. The major factors responsible for such growth of this segment are cost affordability and large volume drying. Similarly, based on applications, the lyophilization equipment and services market is segmented into pharmaceuticals, biopharmaceuticals, diagnostics and nutraceuticals. The pharmaceuticals segment captured the largest market share in 2013 of the total lyophilization equipment and services market. Lyophilization plays an important role in pharmaceutical manufacturing industry as heat-sensitive products are dried at low temperature without hampering its function and physical structure.
Geographically, Europe constituted the largest market share for the global lyophilization equipment and services market in 2013. Factors that have augmented the growth of the lyophilization market in Europe are development of novel technologies pertaining to lyophilization in order to enhance the product portfolio and increased number of clinical trial activities. In addition, ample presence of skilled workforce is also propelling the growth of global lyophilization equipment and services market in Europe. However, Asia Pacific is predicted to foresee the highest growth rate over the forecast period. The rationale behind such high growth has been attributed to favorable government policies, increased adoption of novel technologies and fast growing consumer market. Moreover, increasing scope of contract manufacturing activities in emerging nations such China, India, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam and presence of skilled labor would also boost the growth of the global lyophilization equipment and services market in Asia Pacific in the next few years.
Currently, the lyophilization equipment and services market is highly fragmented due to the involvement of many established and emerging biopharmaceutical companies. Few of the major players operating in the global lyophilization equipment and services market are Lyophilization Technology, Inc., Baxter BioPharma Solutions, GenScript, Inc., ZIRBUS Technology GmbH, Alliance Healthcare Services, Irvine Pharmaceutical Services, Aseptic Technologies, LSNE Contract Manufacturing, W.L. Gore & Associates, Inc., and Biopharma Technologies Ltd.
