Market Opportunities

The value of the primary and secondary US biomanufacturing market in 2006 is estimated to be approximately $50 billion with a healthy growth rate almost approaching double digits due to the escalating number of biotech drugs in the pipeline and skyrocketing sales of approved high value, life saving biopharmaceticals. Cartridges used for filtering liquids represent a $10.8 billion dollar market now but by 2009 sales will reach an annual level of $14.2 billion. The market for membrane technology used in biopharmaceutical discovery, development and commercial production, estimated at $740 million dollars in 2004, is expected to rise at an average annual growth rate (AAGR) of 10.7% to over $900 million in 2008 and to $1.23 billion in 2009. The biopharmaceutical industry in the US has grown by an average of 11% annually from 1993 to 2003.

This publication is valuable to start-up biotech as a how-to and resource management guide for implementing biodisposables in their manufacturing or research facilities. The topic is also viable in regards to the huge spike in biodisposable products flooding the market. Not only are producers of biologics able to benefit from this report, but those designing and manufacturing biodisposables can benefit from this report by careful analysis of the competition and all described applications.
