Downstream processing refers to the purification and recovery steps in bioprocessing undertaken after fermentation to isolate the active ingredient or product of interest from cellular biomass or fermentation broth. It involves clarification to remove cellular debris and components, concentration to separate and recover the target product by reducing volume, and final purification using chromatographic techniques. Downstream processing plays a critical role in ensuring the purity, quality, and stability of biopharmaceutical products, thereby determining their success in the market. Advances in technologies for clarification and purification such as expanded bed chromatographic separation and continuous processing have enabled higher product yields and throughput at reduced costs of goods.
Market Dynamics:
The downstream processing market growth is driven by the rapid growth of the biopharmaceutical industry, preference for biologics over small molecule drugs, and strong demand for monoclonal antibodies and vaccines. However, high costs associated with downstream purification equipment and operations acts as a restraint. Advancements in continuous manufacturing and single-use technologies provide significant opportunities for market players to develop innovative solutions for integrated and modular processes. Market leaders are focusing on partnerships and M&A activities to strengthen their portfolio of purification solutions and chromatography resins.
