Freeze drying is an efficient method for drying various unstable, heat sensitive, aqueous products in various industries. In the healthcare industry, lyophilization is mostly used in pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturing.
The freeze drying market encompasses various equipment and accessories needed for carrying out lyophilization of different substances in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries. The global market is divided on the basis of different types of equipment and accessories. The equipment market is further segmented on the basis of scale of operations and technology. Based on the scale of operations the freeze drying market is segmented as lab-scale, pilot-scale, and industrial-scale freeze dryers; whereas, based on the technology, the market is segmented as manifold freeze dryers, rotary freeze dryers, and tray-style freeze dryers. For the purpose of this report, the lyophilization accessories market is segmented as vacuum systems,, loading and unloading systems, control and monitor facilities, clean-in-place (CIP) systems, freeze drying chambers, lyophilization trays/shelves, manifolds, and other lyophilization accessories such as valves, filters, adapters, glassware, and stainless steel ware.
This market is mainly driven by the increasing demand for lyophilization of biopharmaceutical and other high-value formulations in pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry. Growing adoption of automated loading and unloading systems, clean-in-place (CIP) systems, and PLC and PAT based control and monitoring systems to eliminate risks of contamination in the final pharmaceutical product is another major contributor to the growth of this market.
However, the market growth will be restrained, to an extent, due to factors such as higher set up and maintenance costs of freeze drying systems, rising preference for refurbished lyophilization systems by pharmaceutical companies for cost-cutting activities, emergence and increasing utilization of alternative drying techniques in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry.
The global freeze drying market was valued at $1,860 million in 2013 and is expected to reach at $2,655.9 million by 2019.
