Since biological drugs first became available, their demand has been increasing—with the biologic market being valued at approximately US$302.63 billion in 2020 and expecting to reach US$509.23 billion by 2026 at a compound annual growth rate of 9.06% (1). With advancements in research and technologies, the diversity of biological drugs available is broad, including monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), prophylactic vaccines, gene therapy viral vectors (mainly lentivirus and adeno-associated virus), cell therapies (e.g., chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy and modified stem cells), and oncolytic viruses (e.g., adenoviruses, herpes viruses, and vaccinia virus).
As a result, the bioreactor vendor and contract development and manufacturing organization industries are under pressure to increase production scale.
