Among all products, in 2024, the continuous stirred tank bioreactors segment is expected to account for the largest share of the market. The large share of the segment is attributed to factors such as massive volume generation making it an economically viable option, easy temperature control, uniform performance under steady-state conditions, and easy construction of the system as compared to other dedicated flow systems. Several companies are launching products related to bioprocessing and culture production for various industries, justifying its higher adoption. For instance, in March 2020, Erich Stallkamp ESTA GmbH (Germany), a stainless-steel designing, manufacturing, and assembling company, launched its first continuously stirred tank reactors (CSTRs), especially for industrial biogas plants.

Among bioprocesses, in 2024, the batch/fed-batch segment is expected to account for the larger share of the market. Batch processing is carried out when all of the nutrients or reactants are provided to the reactor or the system at the beginning of the cultivation, leading it to be a closed system, therefore, reducing the risk of contamination of the product. Fed-batch is a similar procedure, with the difference that the nutrients or the reactants are added to the container at regular or after specific intervals. The large share of the segment is attributed to factors such as fewer chances of contamination, easy batch material separation, better traceability, and the requirement for fewer volumes of samples.

Among cell types, in 2024, the mammalian cells segment is expected to account for the largest share of the market. Mammalian cells or cell cultures are majorly used for bioproduction owing to certain advantages, such as simplicity in operations, ease of process validation, and higher productivity. The large share of the segment is attributed to factors such as the rising focus on developing complex biomolecules, including monoclonal antibodies and therapeutic proteins, coupled with their ability to perform complex post-translational modifications.

Among usability, in 2024, the reusable bioreactors segment is expected to account for the larger share of the market. Reusable bioreactors are usually made of glass or steel and are mostly used for large scale manufacturing. The large share of the segment is attributed to factors such as low production and operational costs, lower possibility of puncture and damage to the system due to hot reactor liquids, and obtainability of maximum flow rates. The environmental considerations pertaining to the disposal also support the higher demand for reusable bioreactors.

Among scales, the pilot scale bioreactors (10L-200L) segment is slated to register the highest CAGR in the market. The fastest growth of the segment is attributed to factors such as the availability of interchangeable vessels of various sizes, enhanced bioprocessing capabilities, flexible programming, better productivity in cell culture and microbial fermentation, and efficient culture growth. Companies are also investing in advanced technologies such as cloud bioreactors, that can help biopharmaceutical companies to carry out product cultivation without any instruments at their labs. Availability of funding for developing pilot scale bioreactors also supports the higher market share. For instance, in November 2021, Culture Biosciences, Inc. (U.S.) received a USD 80 million Series B round fund, which was led by Northpond Funds (U.S.). This funding round was used to build 5L and 250L pilot-scale cloud bioreactors, supporting the demand for larger quantities of material that was used for tesing and regulatory approval.

Among automation, in 2024, the automated bioreactors segment is expected to account for the larger share of the market.
