Downstream processing is defined as the process of recovery and purification of biosynthetic products, especially products of pharmaceuticals obtained from natural sources such as plant or animal tissue. It involves reprocessing of recyclable components and the proper treatment of products and disposal of waste. Downstream processing has its application across biopharmaceutical industries, vaccines, insulin, monoclonal antibody productions etc. Thus, its applications boosting global downstream processing market with a CAGR of around 16.4% during the forecast period 2016-2023. The increasing prevalence of infectious diseases such a dengue, hepatitis, swine flu etc. There has been increased demand for effective vaccines for such fatal diseases which has led to increased growth of global downstream processing market.
The key driving factor fueling the growth of global downstream processing market the increased growth in biopharmaceuticals industry which has led to the rising demand for biopharmaceuticals products. The increasing number of incidents of diseases such as Alzheimer's requires new innovation of medicines and treatments. The already existing prototypes of treatment are emerging and has proved to become more sophisticated all the time. According to Evaluate Pharma, the continuous ongoing research has led to the development of entirely new types of biopharmaceutical products. Basically, new concepts and technological designs are making the biopharmaceutical industry as most opportunistic sector of the market, such as Provenge which is the cell therapy technique was used to treat cancer. Furthermore, gene therapies which offer even more amazing services of regenerative medicine or disease remission. Therefore, the advancements have led to the growth of biopharmaceutical industry in recent years.
