Membrane Chromatography Market, By Product (Consumables and Accessories), By Technique (Ion Exchange Membrane Chromatography, Affinity Membrane Chromatography, and Hydrophobic Interaction Membrane Chromatography), By Operation Mode (Flow-through Membrane Chromatography and Bind-elute Membrane Chromatography), By End-user (Pharmaceutical and Biopharmaceutical Companies, CROs, and Academic and Research Institutes) - Trends, Analysis, and Forecast till 2029

Membrane chromatography market accounted for USD 198 Million in 2020 and is estimated to be USD 736.9 Million by 2029 and is anticipated to register a CAGR of 15.7%.

Membrane chromatography combines ion-exchange chemistry with the high flow and processing simplicity of pre-packaged capsules. The large pore sizes and high surface area provide high dynamic binding capacities, particularly for large molecules and particles. They are easily incorporated into a process for the purification of select molecules (coagulation factors) or viral vectors (AAV, Lentivirus) or for the removal of impurities.

The adoption of disposable technologies in biopharmaceutical industries has been increased rapidly including modules for chromatography. This has led to rising environmental concerns regarding solid plastic waste being generated from their use. Disposable membrane chromatography considerably diminishes the need for water load. This is mainly attributed due to the hydrodynamic benefit which has reduced the overall process time, energy consumption, and labor requirement. In addition, membrane chromatography can be used as a disposable device while maintaining a product with the required purity. Hence, the growing demand for membrane chromatography from the biopharmaceutical industry has projected to influence the positive growth of the market over the forecast period.

Lack of Skilled Professionals

The rapid growth in the membrane chromatography instruments market has resulted in a demand for expert technicians. However, despite regardless of technological innovation and several advantages of the technique, the requirement of skilled labor is an issue. The standardized protocols and techniques regarding the maintenance of instruments require skilled technicians. In addition, these techniques require must relate computer calculations with system conditions and large amounts of analysis to avoid human error within the data. Thus, the lack of skilled professionals to operate instruments and conduct analysis may pose a major challenge to global market growth.
