Single-use bioreactors (SUB) are formed primarily from a plastic film composed of multiple polymer layers. Each layer adds to the physical or chemical properties required for the SUB to properly function as a bioreactor. The specific polymer materials used in a given bag varies by manufacturer and model, and may include polyethylene, ultra-low-density polyethylene, linear low-density polyethylene, ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH), ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), polyesters, nylons, and others. Each layer may have its own set of additives like antioxidants, fillers, plasticizers, stabilizers, etc. to obtain the necessary characteristics, but the identities and levels of these additives are proprietary information and often not communicated to the biopharmaceutical manufacturer. SUBs are sterilized by gamma irradiation prior to shipping to the end user and are at that point ready to use.

The global single-use bioreactors market is categorized based on type, cell, molecule and application. Based on type, the SUB market is segmented into wave-induced SUBs, stirred-tank SUBs, bubble-column SUBs, and other bioreactors. The bubble column SUB is expected to grow at a highest CAGR. By application, the market is categorized into research & development, process development, and bioproduction. The bioproduction segment is expected to dominate the market by 2025. Surging demand for biotechnology products is fueling the demand for this segment.

Europe is the largest market for single-use bioreactors. Rising demand for biosimilars, in this region is propelling the growth of SUB. Key players of the single-use bioreactors market include Sartorius Stedim Biotech, Merck Millipore, GE Healthcare, Danaher, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Parker Hannifin, Applikon Biotechnology, Eppendorf, Cesco Bioengineering, Cellexus, Celltainer Biotech, PBS Biotech, Distek, Solida Biotech and Pierre Guerin.
