Market Overview:

The Single-Use Assemblies Market size was valued at around 12.66 Billion in 2023 and is expected to reach a value of USD 61.04 Billion by 2032, at a CAGR of 19.1% over the forecast period (2024–2032) according to a new report by Intellectual Market Insights Research. 

Single-use, (SU) assemblies are defined by Aorn as the following; pre-assembled plastic fluid path, Self-contained product. They consist of a number of standard parts which are combined jointly, and usually the final product is ready for use and often it is gamma-irradiated to make it sterile. Popular products used in industries are sampling bottles, filter, tubing, check valves, clamp, sterile connectors, fittings, and seals. The increased market demand of biologics, the constant development of new technologies in bioprocessing, the increasing biopharmaceutical research and development, as well as the widespread use of single-use assemblies by multiple CMOs are expected to contribute to the industry’s growth within the specified period.

The legal constraints related to leachable and extractable waste disposal and also the sheer ubiquity of the multiple use system constitute some of the restraints that may somewhat limit the market access. The development of Covid-19 has accelerated an already fast-growing demand for disposable assemblies as the disposable assemblies’ technology used in rapid development of therapies and vaccines and enhance precision, speed. An example of a single-use bag assembly is the Aramus system that was produced by Entegris, Inc; COVID-19 vaccines require special storage conditions given that the vaccines require low temperatures. Largely, the patented disposable bags had low leachable and extractable and a great variety in operating-temperature which made them suitable for cold chain storage and collection.

The high incidence of cancer and infectious diseases is used to rise the demand for novel biologics for diagnosis of cancer and also, potential treatment. They include climate change, changing land-use patterns and rapid urbanization which increases the rate of infection diseases like the lower respiratory infections and HIV which have recently increased thus helping the industry to grow. For instance, based on the WHO classification, lower respiratory tract infections occupied the four ranked causes of deaths internationally. In fact, by June 2014 as pointed out by UNAIDS, there were estimated to about 38 million. charged 4 million cases of HIV infection across the globe in the year 2020.

People can get easily infected with these diseases, so proper diagnosis, treatment, including the use of patent-protected biologics, will drive the industry’s progress. In addition, new innovations in vaccines on different communicable diseases are believed to boost the industry. For example, in January this year, Moderna began a new phase of the clinical trial for a HIV vaccine that uses the mRNA technology applied in its vaccine against Covid-19. This vaccine is meant to produce antibodies that may effectively neutralise HIV particles and the above attempts depict the application of emerging technologies in the biologics segment.

The same is true for new viral diseases, which have threats of future pandemics and consequently, rationally call for collective endeavors in the development of new substitutes for vaccines. For example, in August 2022, Lytic Solutions, which provided multiple molecular biology products for research purpose, entered into a collaboration with NightHawk Biosciences in order to advance NightHawk’s vaccine plan in a new subunit monkeypox vaccine. Thus, the published technological advancements and cooperation with the related industries can potentially help to promote the implementation of SU assemblies for manufacturing new types of vaccines in the close future.
