Prepacked Chromatography Columns Market Analysis
The prepacked chromatography columns market is expected to register a CAGR of 6.9% over the forecast period.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the prepacked chromatography columns market. This can be attributed to various factors, such as increasing demand for prepacked chromatography columns for vaccine manufacturing, increasing R&D activities for biopharmaceuticals, and increasing application in different drug development processes. Furthermore, the key players in the market also benefitted from the surge in chromatography resin demand. For instance, in 2021, Repligen generated about USD 190 million in revenue related to COVID-19 programs, which included revenue from OPUS prepacked chromatography columns for late-stage clinical and commercial processes, including COVID-19 vaccine workflows. Thus, the COVID-19 outbreak significantly impacted the growth of the prepacked chromatography column market.
Increasing demand for process development, affordable purification, and technological advancements in prepacked chromatography columns are among the significant factors driving the growth of the studied market. In the biopharmaceutical industry, prepacked columns are widely employed for process development and biomanufacturing. Prepacked chromatography columns are increasingly being adopted as it takes away the burden of costly and time-consuming packing procedures and associated validation protocols, thereby ensuring consistent production.
Also, increasing innovation and product launches are driving the market's growth. For instance, in September 2022, Tosoh Bioscience GmbH launched the Octave BIO Multi-Column Chromatography (MCC) system. This system works with SkillPak BIO prepacked columns launched in April 2020. This product launch of a new chromatography system augments the demand for its SkillPak Prepacked Columns. This is expected to propel the market growth over the forecast period.
Thus, increasing investment in pharmaceutical research activities and technological advancements in prepacked chromatography columns are poised to accelerate market growth over the forecast period. However, the technical limitations of the column are likely to impede market growth.
