By Method Analysis

  • Viral removal method segment accounted for the largest market share in 2023

The viral removal method segment accounted for the largest share. This dominance is accelerated by its numerous beneficial characteristics such as higher flexibility, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness, among others. Beside this, the growing proliferation and emergence of several new viral threats like novel viruses also lead to significant demand for effective viral clearance techniques like viral removal due to its ability to easily adapt to evolving types of viral.

The viral inactivation segment is projected to exhibit highest growth rate. This growth is due to rising demand for various new products including plasma proteins and gene therapy coupled with the growing adoption of the method due to its ability to provide higher patient safety by mitigating the risk of viral contamination.

By Application Analysis

  • Vaccines segment held the majority market share in 2023

The vaccines segment held the majority market share. Segment’s dominance is attributable to increasing demand and proliferation for vaccines across the globe due to constant increase in the number of novel infections and growing incidences of various types of chronic diseases such as cervical cancer, hepatitis, and others.

  • For instance, according to a report published by Center’s for Disease Control and Prevention, there are more than 296 million currently living with hepatitis B and around 58 million people living with hepatitis C. Also, it was estimated that 1.1 million deaths occurred due to these infections and their effects in 2019.

The blood and blood product segment is projected to register highest growth, on account of surge in demand for these products in various medical treatments, surgeries, and therapeutic interventions and growing awareness among health professionals about the potential benefits of such products.

By End User Analysis

  • CROs segment is expected to witness highest growth

The CROs segment is expected will grow at highest pace. Segment’s growth is driven by substantial increase in the number of pharmaceutical and biotechnologies companies looking for outsourcing of early-phase development services and laboratory testing services because CROs often have specialized equipment, facilities, skilled personnel dedicated to viral clearance. Additionally, growing advancements in technology and analytical techniques have significantly improved the ability of CROs for conducting various viral clearance studies.

The pharmaceutical and biotech industry segment led the market. This growth is attributed to growing focus of companies towards bringing new innovations into the market and number of regulatory agencies promoting the development of new vaccines and drugs with improved characteristics to mitigate the risks associated with viral contamination.
