Worldwide Industry for Microbial Contract Biomanufacturing to 2030 - COVID-19 is Likely to Create Significant Business Opportunities

DUBLIN, Dec. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Microbial Contract Biomanufacturing Market across Type of Biologic, Type of Microbial Expression System Used, Scale of Operation, End User, and Key Geographical Regions: Industry Trends and Global Forecasts, 2020-2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The report features an extensive study of the current market landscape and future opportunities associated with the microbial contract biomanufacturing market. The study also features a detailed analysis of key drivers and trends related to this evolving domain.

Traditionally, microbial cell cultures have been the preferred choice for the production of the variety of biologics, including peptide therapeutics and certain low molecular weight proteins (insulin) and cytokines. Till date, over 60% of recombinant proteins used for therapeutic purposes, are estimated to be produced using microbial expression systems, primarily Escherichia coli. In fact, more than 70 biologics approved by various regulatory authorities, worldwide, are manufactured using microbial fermentation. It is worth highlighting that the growing interest in certain novel biologics, such as antibody fragments and plasmid DNA (with potential application areas in cell and gene therapies, and DNA vaccines), has led to a substantial increase in demand for microbial system-based production. Furthermore, evolutionary advances in manufacturing technologies have resulted in a renewed interest from drug developers in using microbial platforms for the production of complex biologics.

Given the inherent complexities in the development and production of biologics, drug developers have demonstrated the preference to outsource parts of their microbial manufacturing operations, as well. In fact, there has been a rise in the outsourcing activity in relation to microbial fermentation since 2017. Presently, the microbial contract biomanufacturing market features a mix of small, mid-sized and large players, offering end-to-end solutions, ranging from early stage process development to clinical and commercial scale manufacturing and regulatory filing. Despite this being a fairly well-established domain, more than 25 new contract microbial fermentation companies have been established over the last decade.

Therefore, in order to remain competitive, CMOs/CDMOs have begun active in acquiring cutting-edge fermentation technologies and investing in the development of the necessary capacity to support the growing demand for novel biologics. It is also worth highlighting that the COVID-19 pandemic is also likely to create significant business opportunities for microbial CMOs as innovator companies are expected to seek support in manufacturing of potential vaccines and other therapeutic modalities. In the long term, we are led to believe that the contract services market catering to this segment of the biopharma industry is anticipated to witness substantial growth in the coming years.
