Single-use systems are biopharmaceutical production (bioprocessing) products that are only used once and then discarded. Single-use systems are often made up of plastic components that have been disinfected and sealed using gamma irradiation. The prevalence of chronic diseases has been continuously increasing worldwide. They are the world’s leading killers, accounting for more than 63% of all deaths. If nothing is done to reverse this trend, the number of people dying from chronic diseases will increase by 17% in the following ten years. This has led to expanding clinical research activities to decipher the potential of biotherapeutics against various disease areas is expected to have a positive influence on the market for single-use bioprocessing.


Single-use bioprocessing in biopharmaceutical firms is expected to see healthy expansion in the future because of its numerous advantages over traditional bioprocessing technologies. These technologies have several advantages, including lower initial investment and R&D costs, lower labor and material costs, and the ability to be readily disposed of. Furthermore, as compared to stainless steel reactors used in conventional bioprocessing, these single-use bioprocessing units have a 35% better CO2 balance, which is why they are widely used by the manufacturer. Merck KGaA announced an extra EUR 40 million investment in Asia in 2018 for two years to establish a solid manufacturing and distribution network.


Furthermore, the increasing approval of drugs and other biologics has increased the demand for single-use disposables such as media bags and containers. The Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) approved 53 new medications in 2020. (CDER). Each year, the number of new medicinal items approved by the FDA fluctuates greatly: in 2016, just over 20 new pharmaceuticals were approved, while in 2018, almost 60 new products were approved. In the year 2020, 53 new medicines were approved. In 2019, many new pharmaceuticals will be developed, notably in the pharmaceutical business in the United States. Under the United States alone, nearly 1,100 novel drugs were in development for cancer and cancer-related illnesses as of April 2019. Hundreds of innovative treatments for uncommon ailments, neurological disorders, and skin diseases were also in the works.
