Dublin, May 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Digital Biomanufacturing Market - Distribution by Type of Technology, Deployment Options, Types of Biologics Manufactured, and Key Geographical Regions: Industry Trends and Global Forecasts, 2023-2035" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

This report features an extensive study of the current market landscape and the likely future potential of the digital biomanufacturing market, over the next 12 years. It highlights the efforts of several stakeholders engaged in this rapidly emerging segment of the pharmaceutical industry.

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, there has been immense pressure on the biopharmaceutical industry to reduce production timelines and increase the manufacturing capacity, without compromising on the quality of the final product. Further, a surge in morbidity across the globe and enhanced interconnectivity of equipment and technologies has led to an increased burden on manufacturing operations.

Other factors that influenced the market include higher competition, competitive pricing, inflation rate, technological advancements and evolving regulatory guidelines.

These factors demanded a fundamental shift from conventional manufacturing operations, which subsequently led to the introduction of industry 4.0 technologies. Digital biomanufacturing or digital bioprocessing has emerged as a promising alternative to mitigate a number of bioprocessing related concerns, as well as significantly promote process robustness and product quality.

Digital biomanufacturing, popularly known as bioprocessing 4.0, refers to the integration of physical equipment with digital software and platforms, such as process analytical technologies (PAT), data analysis software (DAS), manufacturing execution systems (MES) and digital twins, in order to streamline the overall biomanufacturing process.

Implementation of these technologies in monitoring, analytics and computing capabilities is expected to revolutionize current biomanufacturing practices. Further, digital bioprocessing is believed to have transformed manufacturing principles in areas, such as process development, operational activities, logistics and supply chain management, when used in combination with advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and internet of things (IoT).

Growing Demand for Biologics

Breakthroughs in the biotechnology industry, over the last few decades, has provided a considerable boost to the overall development landscape of biopharmaceutical drugs. In 2022, a milestone was witnessed when the number of approvals received by biologics narrowly outpaced those reported by small molecules.

Further, in the same year, nearly half of the biologic approvals were allotted to novel class of modalities, including antibody drug conjugates (ADCs), bispecific antibodies, cell therapies and gene therapies. This can be attributed to the fact that the demand for biologics has been constantly increasing and is supported by continuous innovation in this field. Specifically, advancements in niche segments is expected to culminate in accelerated growth of the biologics market.

Need for Digital Biomanufacturing

According to a recent report, the development of a new drug takes 10-15 years, with an overall investment of USD 1-2 billion. Despite the significant investment of resources, over 90% of the candidates fail at different stages of clinical trials, resulting in huge financial losses for biomanufacturers.

As a direct consequence of the consistently growing demand for biologics and the existing challenges, there is an increase in the requirement for solutions that help in establishment of a digitally enabled and connected end-to-end process, in order to optimize bioprocess operations. Research suggests that, at present, 20% of the organizations have already adopted digitalized approaches for biomanufacturing.

Such approaches are expected to enable an uninterrupted and accessible supply of cost-effective drugs that are likely to be launched commercially, with reduced development timelines. In fact, several leading biopharma players have claimed to achieve 40% increase in quality, 15% reduction in cost, 80% decrease in process variability and 20% shorter operational timelines by leveraging digital biomanufacturing advances.

Key Advantages of Digital Biomanufacturing

Currently, batch-to-batch variation and product validation are considered as major bottlenecks faced by the biologic industry. Digital biomanufacturing harnesses various advancements, such as real-time monitoring, data analytics, automation, modelling, process optimization and other digital tools to transform the available information into actionable insights. This is expected to help in the creation of a uniform process, which is capable of decreasing the deviation in quality of each batch.

Other key benefits of digital biomanufacturing include improved efficiency, higher product yield, better product quality, data integrity, reduced manual intervention and limited risk of contamination. It is worth noting that digitalization in biopharmaceutical manufacturing is becoming an essential requirement, given its potential to develop enhanced quality products, with high speed, agility and sustainability.
