The manufacturing scale of operations held the largest market share owing to the increase in the production of biopharmaceuticals, generic drugs, and vaccines which are being used for the treatment of various diseases.
The manufacturing scale of operations is expected to continue to flourish during the forecast period as well on the account of increased demand for novel biologics and therapeutic proteins for the treatment of chronic diseases. The rising prevalence of chronic diseases like cancer, arthritis, and diabetes is expected to boost the segment growth. According to the data provided by CDC, around 54 million individuals in the U.S. are suffering from arthritis. Thus, there is a high demand for efficient and productive downstream processing products, which is projected to boost growth.
Dominant pharmaceutical companies are largely investing in the production of biologics and therapeutic proteins generating an added demand for filtration products and accessories. Developing healthcare infrastructure in emerging countries like Brazil, Mexico, South Africa, China, and India along with rising demand for innovative therapeutics have spurred the demand for these products. The focus on the development of novel drugs and biological products by manufacturers along with availability advanced technologies are expected to drive the application of filtration in the pharmaceutical manufacturing procedure.
The research and development scale segment is estimated to witness significant CAGR over the forecast period due to the rising investment in R&D for new technology and product development. For instance, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA)member companies have invested around USD 58.8 billion in 2015 for the R&D.
The North American region contributed to the largest share by virtue of large dominant pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies including Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd, Pfizer Inc., Merck KGaA, and Amgen Inc. in this region. Well-developed healthcare infrastructure and accessibility to advanced products in this region have fueled the growth of the regional market.
The European region is another dominant region in the market as a result of advanced healthcare infrastructure and the availability of technologically advanced products in the region. Increasing demand for biopharmaceuticals is also expected to drive growth in this region. European based leading market players like Merck KGaA and Sartorius Stedim Biotech S.A. have a wide distribution network in the region. This enables the European region to capture considerable share owing to the development of new systems and devices.
The Asia Pacific pharmaceutical filtration market is expected to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period owing to untapped market potential in the region. The proliferation of pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies in this region has resulted in immense growth. Heavy investments by CMOs (Contract Manufacturing Organizations) and CROs (Contract Research Organizations) for the production of drugs and biologics as well as less stringent government regulations act in the favor of these companies fueling the growth of the market. Developing healthcare infrastructure and the availability of large genome pools are major attributes causing the growth of the market.
