Stringent regulatory guidelines from government agencies can hamper the growth of the global bioprocess containers market. Bioprocessing involves handling of sensitive biological material and there are high risks of contamination, so regulators have mandated strict compliance with good manufacturing practices. The regulatory processes have become very complex and time-consuming which increases compliance costs for manufacturers. The complexity of regulations also poses challenges for globalization of operations. Manufacturing facilities located across countries must satisfy diverse regulatory standards, which increases costs of coordination and record-keeping. Any non-compliance can lead to import rejections or shutdowns creating disruptions. For instance, in 2022, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration tightened its guidelines of bioprocessing equipment manufactured in Asia Pacific and several shipments from China faced delays due to failure to meet new contamination prevention norms. This discourages setting up of production units overseas.
Market Opportunities – Increasing Demand for Customized Containers for Complex Drug Production
As biologics replace traditional pharmaceuticals, demand for containers customized for complex drug production will increase. Emerging biologics like vaccines, recombinant proteins and advanced therapies can boost needs for single-use flexible bags as well as robust glass and stainless-steel containers.
