Similarly, the demand for monoclonal antibodies and personalized medicines has increased bioproduction, accelerating the demand for fermenters. Furthermore, the rising usage of high-end technologies to simplify complex manufacturing is expected to boost the product demand during the forecast period. Besides, high investments in research and development activities by key biopharmaceutical companies are expected to drive industry growth. Fermenters are used for creating a proper environment for the growth of microorganisms or driving biochemically active substances derived from such organisms. They are basically utilized for the growth and maintenance of a population of bacterial or fungal cells in a controlled manner.
The expanding biopharmaceutical industry is a key growth driver for the fermenters market, as microbial fermentation is essential for producing vaccines, antibodies, and enzymes. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), biologics represent a significant portion of the pharmaceutical pipeline, indicating a growing reliance on fermentation processes in drug development. This rising demand has intensified the need for advanced fermentation systems that ensure scalability, sterility, and regulatory compliance.
