The global fermenters and bioreactors market is expected to reach USD 20.4 billion in 2023 anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 11.3% during the forecast period 2023-2035.

Since their inception in 1982, biologics have gained substantial favor due to their impressive therapeutic efficacy, favorable safety profiles, and their ability to address a diverse array of challenging medical conditions. Over the past two decades, the FDA has sanctioned the use of more than 170 biopharmaceuticals, with over 7,500 biological interventions currently undergoing scrutiny in clinical trials. Recognized widely is the necessity for highly specialized bioprocessing equipment in the production of these intricate biomolecules, whether at commercial or clinical scales. This equipment is indispensable for maintaining precise control over crucial bioprocess parameters, including temperature, pH levels, dissolved oxygen, fluid delivery, and other vital conditions necessary for consistent cell growth. Among this specialized equipment, bioreactors hold a pivotal role in upstream manufacturing processes by engineering optimal conditions that foster cell growth, facilitating the production of significant quantities of recombinant proteins. These proteins encompass a broad spectrum of therapeutic agents, such as vaccines, fusion proteins, antibodies, and enzymes. Notably, bioreactors also possess the capacity to produce Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs) like cell and gene therapies, retroviral vectors for gene therapy, and the cellular components integral to three-dimensional tissue constructs.

In contrast, fermenters find utility in the anaerobic cultivation of microbial cell populations, especially fungal or bacterial cells, to produce biologics that do not require significant post-translational modifications. It is noteworthy that employing fermenters for biologics manufacturing offers advantages including accelerated development timelines, improved yields and quality, minimized batch-to-batch variations, greater scalability, and reduced production costs when compared to manufacturing processes conducted in bioreactors.
