Global single-use bioprocessing sensors and probes market was valued at USD 1.91 billion in 2020. It is projected to grow at a compound annual rate (CAGR of 13.9%) between 2021 and 2028. The demand for single-use systems is increasing due to the growing demand for biopharmaceuticals. The adoption of disposable systems for pre-clinical biopharmaceutical production will drive the demand for single-use sensors and probes in the bioprocessing market.
Key stakeholders in the market for single use bioprocessing probes have seen lucrative opportunities created by the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic offers a fresh perspective on single-use systems implementation. The revenue is increasing for major biopharmaceutical companies that are also using bioprocessing technology. Serum Institute selected ABEC's Custom Single Run technology (CSR) in September 2020 to increase large-scale single-use manufacturing for nearly 1 billion Novavax COVid-19 doses.
Collaborations between OEMs with independent suppliers of sensors allow for single-use assemblies that are trusted to be reliable. Pall Corporation partnered with Single-Use Support GmbH in December 2020 to make advances in the biopharmaceutical industry. This company distributes the RoSS platform which expands Pall's range of integrated solutions. These collaborations aim to accelerate disposable sensor use across all unit operations, upstream and downstream.
The development of single-use sensors that can be expanded in their use is expected to increase the market for single-use sensor and bioprocessing probes. The revenue growth has been positive for projects such as "Single-use sugar sensors for bioreactor" from Stobbe Tech and C-CIT in recent years. This project was designed to develop single-use sensors that can be used online to measure glucose and lactate in bioreactors.
Market growth may be hampered by technological challenges in the deployment of single-use bioprocessing sensors and probes. Companies are focusing their efforts to develop disposable sensors that are more user-friendly. Emerson Electric's Rosemount 55pH single-use sensor connector allows for storage, installation, gamma sterilization and standardization in wetted or retracted conditions. This opens up opportunities for new market players and drives the market for single use bioprocessing probes & sensors.
In 2020, pH sensors accounted for 20.9% of the total revenue. This large market share is due to high product penetration and high usage rates. The segment will be driven by technological advancements, such as the creation of a pH sensor with an integrated temperature sensor. The measurement of Dissolved Oxygen is an important physicochemical parameter in bioprocessing engineering.
This segment has been driven by the development of disposable sensors that allow users to measure DO independently. This segment has seen significant revenue generation from companies such as Finesse, Hamilton Company, Polestar Technologies, Eppendorf AG, Scientific Industries, Inc., and Applikon Biotechnology, Inc., which manufacture and market disposable sensors that measure DO.
Many advancements have been made over the years in flowmeter technology in order to solve problems such as improper flowmeter installation or material incompatibility. This has led to the profitable growth of segments. Coriolis technology, which is the most accurate and precise of all flowmeters, is the best. It is also the least affected by changes in conductivity and viscosity.
In 2020, the upstream segment was the dominant market for single-use sensors and probes in the bioprocessing sector. It accounted for the largest revenue share at 74.2%. The upstream segment has seen a significant increase in sensors usage due to the adoption of single-use bioreactors by bio manufacturers and media bags. Effective upstream processes are based on identification of Critical Process Parameters and the use of bioreactor types. This can help to provide excellent control over CPPs.
Temperature, Dissolved oxygen (DO) and pH are all important parameters to monitor in an upstream process. Other factors like culture viability and viable-cell density, nutrient level, specific growth rate, or other measurable parameters can also be considered CPPs. However, separation and purification remain the greatest challenges in biomanufacturing. Single-use technologies have made significant progress in biomanufacturing.
In downstream processing, the affinity capture step and the polishing/purification are recognized as intensive and costly. This segment saw a lower penetration of single-use systems, which resulted in a smaller revenue share. This segment will see significant growth due to the constant efforts of operating players to increase disposable use in downstream processes.
In 2020, the biopharmaceutical manufacturers market dominated single-use bioprocessing sensors and probes. They accounted for a significant revenue share of 58.9%. This segment has seen rapid growth due to constant product development and the increased adoption of disposables by contract service providers as also in-house bio producers to meet the increasing global demand for biopharmaceuticals.
Many contract service providers are involved in expanding their manufacturing facilities through the installation of single-use tools at their plants. WuXi Biologics is part of WuXi AppTech and is active in expanding its biomanufacturing capabilities through several investments made over the past year in single use technology.
Sartorius Stedim Biotech and GE Healthcare are leading innovators in single-use assemblies that use products from independent suppliers. PendoTECH suppliers sell a large volume of its sensors to OEMs for GMP manufacturing, pilot and toxicology studies and clinical batches. Independent suppliers can launch new products directly to benefit OEMS, thereby increasing revenue.
North America was the dominant market for single-use bioprocessing sensors and probes in 2020. It accounted for over 34.0% of the total revenue. Most of the major biopharmaceutical companies are based in the U.S., including CMC Biologics, FUJIFILM Biotechnologies U.S.A., Inc., Amgen, DPx Holdings, and AbbVie, Inc. A substantial number of regional players also handle the ancillary tasks associated with bioprocessing such as viral vector manufacture.
The U.S. is home to some of the most revenue-generating OEMs, such as GE Healthcare, Thermo Fisher and Pall Corporation. This contributes to North America's largest market share. The U.S. market has the highest revenue share thanks to the presence of small players such as Entegris, Inc. and PBS Biotech, Inc.
Asia Pacific is expected to see the fastest growth in single-use bioprocessing sensors and probes during the forecast period. This is due to Asia Pacific being recognized as a hub of biopharmaceutical outsourcing. The region's revenue generation is significantly increased by the presence of emerging markets like India and China. Regional growth is also being driven by the incorporation disposable products from Asia-based bio producers from key global suppliers into their cGMP Biomanufacturing Facility.
These key players are pursuing strategic initiatives, such as alliances and product development with OEM to increase their organic revenue growth and market presence. OEMs are actively seeking licenses to incorporate sensors into their single-use assemblies. Pfizer, Amgen and Abbvie, which account for a large revenue share in biopharmaceuticals, have made investments in single-use plants. These companies have formed partnerships with major OEMs in order to set up their single-use plants.
The single-use probes manufacturers and sensor makers are also involved in expanding manufacturing capabilities and developing new products to meet growing demand in biopharmaceutical. Hamilton Company, for instance, introduced in July 2020 a revised version VisiTrace DO--an opto-dissolved oxygen sensor. This new version integrates with HART.
