Virus Filtration Market Growth, Share, Demand and Analysis of Key Players 2023 to 2030.

The global virus filtration market size was estimated at USD 4.26 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1% from 2023 to 2030.

The rising prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and autoimmune disorders is anticipated to propel the demand for biologics. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 422 million people globally are affected by diabetes. Rapid prevalence is observed in low- and middle-income nations compared to high-income nations. Amputation of the lower limbs is a common complication of diabetes, as are kidney disease, cardiac arrest, stroke, and blindness. According to the WHO, between 2000 and 2019, the mortality rates from diabetes rose by 3% for each age group and an estimated 2 million people died in 2019 from diabetes-related kidney disease.

Virus Filtration Market Segments

Product Insights

The consumables segment dominated the market with the largest revenue share in 2022 owing to the rising demand for these products for virus filtration. The demand for consumables such as reagents, kits, and membranes is anticipated to increase the production of vaccines, protein therapeutics, blood-related products, cellular therapy products, genetic therapy products, tissue products, and embryonic stem cell products.

Several leading vendors including Merck KGaA, Danaher, and Sartorius AG provide a broad range of reagents, kits, and other consumables for virus filtration. For instance, Merck offers a wide range of resins and media such as Eshmuno A Resin, ProSep Ultra Plus resin, ProSep-vA Ultra resin, ProSep-vA Ultra chromatography media, Eshmuno IEX Chromatography Resins, and Fractogel Ion Exchange Chromatography Resins.

Technology Insights

The filtration segment dominated the market with the largest revenue share in 2022 owing to the increased adoption of these products in the manufacturing of biologics and medical devices and research. Furthermore, it offers numerous benefits, including the preservation of protein integrity in both products and samples, along with the provision of excellent efficiency and purity in both laboratory and large-scale settings. Due to increased vendor RD spending and product developments, the filtration segment is predicted to expand at a profitable rate during the forecast period.

End-use Insights

The biopharmaceutical and biotechnology companies segment dominated the virus filtration market with the largest revenue share in 2022 owing to increasing RD activities, production of biologics, as well as growth in the biopharmaceutical industry. Increasing demand for innovative drugs and vaccines, advancements in scientific research and development, and supportive governmental schemes and policies are some of the drivers.

The CROs segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR over the forecast period, due to the trend of outsourcing RD and manufacturing to CROs. An increase in the number of vaccines and therapeutic protein manufacturing companies has resulted in rising demand for outsourcing services that cater to the specific needs of these companies.

Application Insights

The biologicals segment held the largest revenue share of 56.6% in 2022 and is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR of 10.9% over the forecast period. This can be attributed to the rising prevalence of chronic diseases such as deficiency of growth hormones, blood disorders, cancer, diabetes, and autoimmune disorders that boost the demand for biologics. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), 8.5% of individuals aged 18 and older had diabetes in 2014. 48% of the 1.5 million diabetes-related deaths that occurred in 2019 occurred in people under the age of 70.

Regional Insights

North America dominated the market with the largest revenue share of 41.2% in 2022. The established biotechnology and biopharmaceutical sectors in the U.S. have increased the region's demand for advanced viral clearance products for research and development and biologics manufacturing.
