Small Scale Bioreactors: Introduction

Small scale bioreactors are containers specialized to be used for cultivating microorganisms or living cells under accurately controlled conditions, facilitating the production of various molecules. These bioreactors are particularly valuable as essential tools for process development and optimization in pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical studies. Typically designed for smaller-scale production, they come in a range of sizes, spanning from a few millilitres to 5-10 litres. Notably, small scale bioreactors offer economic advantages, requiring less labour than their larger counterparts.

 

These bioreactors are often employed as cost-effective miniaturized alternatives that effectively replicate almost all the functional capabilities of bench-scale reactors at significantly reduced volumes. Small Scale bioreactors have the capability for parallel operation enabling a cost-efficient series of experiments to be conducted. A few examples of small scale bioreactors include shake flasks, microtiter plates, and benchtop bioreactors. Additionally, small scale bioreactors come in both reusable and single-use variants, with the latter employing disposable bags in lieu of traditional reusable steel vessels.

 

Global Small Scale Bioreactors Market Analysis

The global market for small scale bioreactors is witnessing notable trends that are shaping its trajectory in recent years and are expected to continue in the forecast period. One significant trend is the substantial surge in sales of small scale bioreactors in 2020 and 2021, primarily driven by numerous businesses expanding their facilities to conduct crucial research and development for COVID-19 vaccines. This heightened demand for bioprocessing equipment played a pivotal role in the market's growth. Furthermore, with ongoing global immunization campaigns and the persistent demand for vaccines, the sales of small scale bioreactors are expected to maintain their upward trajectory.

 

Government authorities have also made substantial investments in enhancing biopharmaceutical research and expediting vaccine development, further influencing the Small Scale bioreactors market growth. These investments are geared towards advancing the capabilities of bioprocessing equipment, including small scale bioreactors, to meet the increasing demands for vaccine production and other biopharmaceutical research needs. As a result, the small scale bioreactors market is expected to continue to thrive, driven by these trends that underscore the critical role of bioprocessing in addressing global healthcare challenges.
