Lyophilization Demand Analysis (2012-2021) Vs. Market Outlook (2022-2032)
The global lyophilization market expanded at a CAGR of 4.9% over the last nine years (2012-2021) owing to rising demand for the lyophilization process for use in biopharmaceutical as well as pharmaceutical products.
Several benefits associated with the lyophilization process and technical advancements in freeze-drying equipment are major factors driving the demand for lyophilization, globally.
The lyophilization process is beneficial for extending the shelf life of pharmaceutical drugs and biopharmaceutical products such as antibodies, vaccines, peptides, and others. The lyophilization process helps in the removal of moisture by putting the product under three interconnected steps - freezing, primary drying, and secondary drying.
This not only helps in stabilizing pharmaceutical formulations but also broadens the capability of temperature tolerance in these products.
Technical advancements have boosted the lyophilization market. Since temperature is a crucial parameter for various pharmaceuticals and biopharmaceuticals, freeze dryers have been developed that can easily optimize the shelf temperature and chamber pressure so that the quality of the product is not hampered while it is below its critical point. These freeze dryers maximize the sublimation rate as well, thereby enhancing the stability of compounds.
Fact.MR predicts the global lyophilization market to expand at a high CAGR of 8.8% over the forecast period (2022-2032).
What is Mainly Driving Demand for Lyophilization?
“Rising Investments in Research and Development Related to Lyophilization”
Since there are biopharmaceutical products that cannot be marketed without undergoing the lyophilization process, the need for investments in the research and development of lyophilization is rising day by day.
- LyoHUB is an advanced lyophilization technology hub that aims at advancing science and technology focusing on freeze-drying or lyophilization.
Manufacturers are even partnering with this hub to focus on advancements in lyophilization techniques.
- For instance, in 2015, Millrock Technology partnered with LyoHUB to carry out advancements related to the lyophilization process.
The attention put towards advancements in lyophilization products and processes is boosting the growth of the overall lyophilization market.
“Rise in Number of Lyophilization Service Providers”
Increasing demand for lyophilization services is creating greater opportunities for the manufacturers of freeze dryers and their accessories. Different organizations offer services for successful pharmaceutical drug development and manufacturing processes. These include contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs) and contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs).
- For instance, LSNE Contract Manufacturing is a CMO that helps various pharmaceutical companies produce commercial products. It offers manufacturing services that comprise aseptic fill-finish manufacturing and lyophilization, bulk lyophilization, non-aseptic fill-finish & lyophilization, and others.
What’s Restraining the Lyophilization Market from Reaching its Full Potential?
“High Costs Associated with Lyophilization Setup”
The cost of freeze-drying equipment is quite high, and this restricts small- and medium-scale companies from acquiring such equipment to carry out the lyophilization process.
These higher costs associated with lyophilization setups are a major factor that restricts the growth of the market to some extent.
