Increasing research and development activities by the market players for developing the bioreactors is expected to drive the growth of the global small scale bioreactors market over the forecast period.

Market players are indulged in inorganic activities such as collaborations, agreements, and partnerships due to increasing use of single use bioreactors. This is expected to increase the growth of the global small scale bioreactors market over the forecast period.

Market players are involved in research and development activities for developing the bioreactors. This is expected to increase the growth of the market over the forecast period. For instance, according to the article published in the journal Plos One by the researchers of Keck Graduate Institute of Applied Life Sciences, U.S., in June 2021, a study was conducted to investigate a scaled model of the Express bioreactor developed by Sepragen Corporation, a supplier of equipment’s and chromatography application to biotechnology industry. This study was done to find out how this bioreactor system would work with shear sensitive human Mesenchymal Stem Cells (hMSCs). The results of the study showed that the cells showed excellent expression of stem cell biomarkers. hMSC also retained the ability to differentiate into bone, cartilage, and adipocytes. Therefore, hMSC demonstrates the effectiveness of bioreactor systems with floating matrices for the production of high-purity hMSCs.

Increasing use of single use bioreactors is expected to increase the growth of the small scale bioreactors market over the forecast period. For instance, in October 2021, 3M Separation and Purification Sciences which provides filtration and purification for water solutions, has  announced a global agreement with Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., a supplier of scientific instruments, reagents, and software supplies, that will make it easier for biopharmaceutical customers to pair the 3M Harvest RC Chromatographic Clarifier, a single-stage purification solution, with the Thermo Scientific’s HyPerforma single-use bioreactor. This combination is to bring greater efficiency and scalability to the therapeutic manufacturing process.

Global Small Scale Bioreactor Market – Market Trends

Market players from various regions are active in developing single use bioreactors. For instance, in 2020, a student team from Rice University won the top prize at the American Society for Microbiology’s annual Brasalius Award competition for executing an incredible feat: They made a mini bioreactor from a smartphone case.
