Analyst Viewpoint

The downstream processing industry is transforming rapidly, with COVID-19 vaccine development, the rise in monoclonal antibody production, and outsourcing trends acting as major catalysts. Emerging technologies like single-use fermentation systems, continuous chromatography, and automation-driven bioprocess control are addressing historic bottlenecks in purification and scalability.

Moreover, CMOs are proving essential in offering biopharma firms cost-effective purification and separation services-enabling companies to focus on core R&D while scaling manufacturing capacity for complex biologics and gene therapies.

Key Findings of the Market Report

Chromatography columns & resins dominated the product segment in 2023.
Purification emerged as the leading technique owing to high demand for product purity and regulatory compliance.
Monoclonal antibody production and vaccine development remain high-growth application areas.

North America led the global market, with well-established biopharma infrastructure and favorable regulatory support.

Market Drivers

Introduction of Novel Microbial Fermentation Solutions

Emerging single-use fermentation systems, like ABEC's 1,000-liter model, are addressing challenges related to cost, inflexibility, and cleaning requirements of traditional steel fermenters. These systems reduce turnaround times and improve productivity in downstream bioprocesses.

Additionally, continuous bioprocessing systems from GE HealthCare (BioSC) and Pall Life Sciences (Cadence BioSMB) are redefining chromatographic purification, enabling seamless, scalable, and high-resolution separation steps.

Surge in Biotechnology Sector Investments

With biopharmaceuticals now constituting nearly 20% of global pharmaceutical revenues, the demand for purification and separation solutions is surging. Biotech hubs, such as India and the U.S., are witnessing double-digit R&D growth supported by government incentives, patents, and global investor interest.

This upward trend enhances the need for advanced downstream technologies capable of handling increased production volumes and complex biologics.

Segment Insights

Purification Segment to Dominate by Technique

The purification segment leads the downstream processing market due to innovations in membrane filtration, advanced chromatography, and automated separation platforms. Regulatory authorities' emphasis on product purity and contamination-free manufacturing has made purification the most critical and profitable step in bioprocessing workflows.

Chromatography Columns & Resins Lead Product Demand

Chromatography columns and resins were the most utilized products in 2023, supported by:

Their role in selective separation of proteins and enzymes
Growing adoption in biologics and personalized medicine
Advances in column formats and resin chemistries for increased binding capacity and flow rates
Regional Outlook

North America at the Forefront of Market Expansion

According to TMR analysis, North America held the dominant share of the downstream processing market in 2023. The region benefits from:

Well-established biomanufacturing infrastructure
High government funding and biopharma R&D
Accelerated adoption of single-use systems and automation tools
However, challenges such as high cost of instruments and skill shortages persist. In contrast, Asia Pacific is emerging as a strategic growth hub due to rising biologics demand and favorable regulatory frameworks, despite facing infrastructure and training gaps.

Key Developments

April 2024 - Cytiva launched new cell lines for viral vector manufacturing, targeting the gene therapy sector's downstream processing requirements.
February 2024 - Thermo Fisher Scientific announced a 58,000 sq. ft. biologics manufacturing expansion in St. Louis to support rare disease biologics production, improving downstream throughput and supply chain agility.

Competitive Landscape

The global downstream processing industry is fragmented, with both established leaders and emerging players driving innovation through partnerships, capacity expansions, and R&D investments.
