Membrane Chromatography Market 2024 Competitive Landscape, Cost Price and Forecast

Membrane Chromatography Industry

The global membrane chromatography market size was estimated at USD 284.45 million in 2023 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 15.7% from 2024 to 2030. The growth of the market is driven by the rising demand for biopharmaceuticals and the growing regulatory focus on the cleaning validation of downstream purification processes. The demand for membrane chromatography is growing due to its efficiency and cost-effectiveness in biopharmaceutical purification processes.

Unlike traditional column chromatography, membrane chromatography offers higher binding capacities, faster processing times, and reduced buffer consumption. Its scalability and ease of use make it ideal for capturing and polishing large biomolecules, such as monoclonal antibodies and viral vectors, which are increasingly important in therapeutic and vaccine production. In addition, the rise in demand for biologics, coupled with stringent regulatory standards for purity and safety, drives the adoption of advanced purification technologies like membrane chromatography in the bioprocessing industry.

Furthermore, growing approvals by key market players from regulatory bodies for the manufacturing and supply of biopharmaceuticals aimed at treating various diseases are likely to fuel the demand over the coming years. For instance, in April 2024, Boehringer Ingelheim Biopharmaceuticals China (BioChina), in partnership with a customer, successfully passed pre-approval inspections by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This achievement is significant for BioChina as it demonstrates its commitment to meeting the stringent regulatory standards of the EMA and the U.S. FDA.

Moreover, the increase in R&D expenditure in the biopharmaceutical sector aided in the market's growth. For instance, as per the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers & Associations’ 2021 report on the pharmaceutical industry and global health, the biopharmaceutical industry’s annual R&D spending surpasses that of aerospace and defense by 7.3 times, chemicals by 6.5 times, and software and computer services by 1.5 times. The report estimated that in 2022, over USD 202 billion were invested globally in biopharmaceutical research and development, reflecting the increasing popularity of biopharmaceuticals.
