Single-use Bioprocessing Probes And Sensors Market Report Scope 

The key factors attributed to the growth of the market include production expansion by players and reduced environmental impact by using single-use bioprocessing probes and sensors. Moreover, the presence of several key companies supports market growth. The COVID-19 pandemic has further fueled the market growth. During the pandemic, the industry witnessed a supply shortage of several commodities. Suppliers increased the capacity of the single-use bioprocessing sector to cater to the increasing demand and balance the shortage of such commodities.

For instance, in September 2021, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., a major supplier in the industry, revealed a plan to set up a manufacturing facility in Nashville to produce products in single-use technologies (SUT). This facility is expected to be one of the world's largest single-use technology manufacturing facilities. Such an increase in production and development capabilities in the industry during the pandemic supports market growth. Moreover, single-use technology reduces water and energy consumption associated with cleaning and sterilization processes. They generate less waste than traditional reusable systems, aligning with the increasing focus on sustainability in the biopharmaceutical industry. In addition, single-use biotechnology systems, made up of plastics, are mostly recyclable and significantly decrease the environmental impact.

On the other hand, traditional biotechnology plants use large amounts of energy and water. Thus, the sustainability associated with single-use systems is expected to be preferred by biopharmaceutical manufacturers, which will boost market growth. Several players provide advanced and effective products. Thus, the wide adoption of advanced services and products is also expected to boost product demand. Many companies implement strategies, such as product launches, geographic expansions, strategic alliances, and M&As to enhance product portfolios and build positive customer positioning. For instance, in May 2022, Dover announced the acquisition of Malema Engineering Corp. This acquisition was aimed at expanding the single-use production offering of Dover. Such strategy implementation by players to gain a competitive edge is anticipated to support market growth over the forecast period.

Sensor Type Insights

Based on the sensor type, the market is segmented into sensors of pH, oxygen, pressure, temperature, conductivity, flow sensors, and others. pH sensors accounted for the largest market share of 20.43% in 2022 and are expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. It is one of the vital products that is generally utilized for water measurements. These sensors help measure the acidity and alkalinity of water in other solutions. Factors, such as the high usage rate and increasing product penetration, have propelled the segment growth and demand. Moreover, technological advances in the segment, such as pH sensors with an in-built temperature sensor, are anticipated to fuel the segment's growth over the forecast period.

The oxygen sensors segment is projected to grow at a lucrative CAGR of 12.96% from 2023 to 2032. Factors, such as the increasing prevalence of chronic disorders and the development of disposable sensors, are projected to drive a high growth rate in the segment. Moreover, many disposable sensors facilitate users to measure Dissolved Oxygen (DO) separately. DO level measurement is the physicochemical parameter monitored mostly in bioprocessing engineering. Several companies engaged in marketing and manufacturing disposable sensors to measure DO include Hamilton Company; Eppendorf AG; Applikon Biotechnology, Inc., Finesse; and Polestar Technologies.

Workflow Insights

On the basis of workflow, the market is segmented into upstream and downstream. The upstream segment dominated the market with a revenue share of 74.19% in 2022. The high revenue share of the segment is attributed to the increasing adoption of single-use media bags and bioreactors by manufacturers involved in the upstream manufacturing process.An effective upstream method typically depends on identifying Critical Process Parameters (CPPs) and using a bioreactor sensor type, which can deliver adequate control over CPPs. In an upstream process, Critical Process Parameters (CPPs) that are typically scrutinized comprise Dissolved Oxygen (DO), temperature, and pH.

Moreover, additional factors, such as viable-cell density, culture viability, specific growth rate, nutrient levels, and other measurable parameters are considered CPPs. The downstream processing is projected to register a lucrative CAGR of 11.77% from 2023 to 2032. The purification/polishing and affinity capture steps are considered expensive in this process. The continuous efforts by key players operating in the market to increase the use of disposables in the downstream process are anticipated to support the segment's growth over the forecast period.

End-use Insights

The biopharmaceutical & pharmaceutical companies segment accounted for the largest revenue share of 43.05% in 2022. Consistent new product developments in the market are driving the segment's growth. Moreover, increased adoption of disposables among in-house bio manufacturers to efficiently fulfill the worldwide rising demand for biopharmaceuticals is one of the major aspects of the growth of the biopharmaceutical manufacturer segment.

The academic & research institutes segment is anticipated to register the fastest CAGR of 15.13% from 2023 to 2032. The factors attributed to the growth of the segment include increasing research & development activities in the fields of biotechnology, pharmaceuticals & bioengineering. The research activities need accurate and reliable data, which drives the demand for single-use bioprocessing probes and sensors. Moreover, the advantages of single-use probes and sensors over traditional ones are anticipated to drive their demand over the forecast period.

Regional Insights

North America dominated the market with a share of 41.17% in 2022. The regional market covers two countries, i.e., the U.S. and Canada. The dominance of the region is due to the existence of several biopharmaceutical manufacturers in the U.S. These manufacturers include FUJIFILM Diosynth Biotechnologies U.S.A., Inc.; DPx Holdings; CMC Biologics; Amgen; and AbbVie, Inc. Many companies operating in the region undertake steps associated with bioprocessing. In addition, the region is home to various small- and large-scale OEMs like Entegris, Inc., PBS Biotech, Inc., Thermo Fisher, GE Healthcare, and Pall Corporation. These players contribute to the large market share of the region. The rising investment in the market is also propelling the region’s growth.
