The bioprocess containers market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $6.39 billion in 2025 to $8.2 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 28.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of biopharmaceutical manufacturing, increasing adoption of disposable bioprocess systems, growth in biologics development, rising demand for sterile processing solutions, availability of advanced polymer materials.
The bioprocess containers market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $22.19 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 28.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in cell and gene therapy manufacturing, rising focus on modular bioprocess facilities, expansion of contract biomanufacturing, growing emphasis on sustainability in bioprocessing, increasing demand for scalable production platforms. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of single-use bioprocessing systems, rising demand for flexible and scalable biomanufacturing, growing use of sterile liquid handling solutions, expansion of cell and gene therapy production, enhanced focus on contamination risk reduction.
Anticipated growth in the demand for biologics and biosimilars is poised to drive the bioprocess containers market. These innovative medications, used for various medical conditions, are witnessing increased adoption. Bioprocess containers, particularly those tailored for single-use applications, present notable advantages in terms of flexibility, scalability, cost-effectiveness, and reduced contamination risks. For instance, in October 2025, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), a US-based has authorized 76 biosimilars, representing only a small share of the total approved biologics. This trend is expected to shape the trajectory of the bioprocess container market in response to the expanding demand and usage of biologics and biosimilars.
Major players in the bioprocess containers market are developing advanced high-strength, leak-resistant multilayer films to improve container durability, reduce contamination risk, and support large-volume biologics manufacturing. These films feature reinforced polymer architectures for superior tensile strength, puncture resistance, and low extractables compared to traditional single-use materials. In April 2023, Merck KGaA launched the Ultimus Single-Use Process Container Film, combining a woven-nylon strength layer with medical-grade polyethylene and gas-barrier components. The film provides up to ten times greater abrasion resistance and enhanced leak prevention, ensuring safer handling of high-value biologics while maintaining compatibility with Merck’s Mobius® 3D bioprocess containers.
In May 2024, Novo Holdings, an investment company based in Denmark, acquired Single Use Support for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition aims to enhance Novo Holdings' life sciences services and manufacturing capabilities, enabling them to better assist pharmaceutical companies in managing biologics and advanced therapies. Single Use Support is a life sciences tools company located in Austria, specializing in fluid management services designed for the pharmaceutical industry, with a focus on the fluid and cold-chain management of pharmaceutical substances.

Bioprocess containers are single-use containers utilized for critical sterile liquid-handling applications in the biopharmaceutical industry. They are employed for liquid cell culture media, reagents, buffers, containment, and storage vessels for intermediate and final products generated from manufacturing processes.
The main types of bioprocess containers include 2D bioprocess containers, 3D bioprocess containers, tank liners, and other containers and accessories. The 2D bioprocess container refers to containers with a two-dimensional design for sterile liquid handling. They are designed for small, simple BPCs ranging from 50 ML to 50 L. These containers are created from two sheets of film, heat-sealed around the perimeter to form a pillow-shaped chamber. Bioprocess containers find applications in biopharmaceutical companies, life science R&D companies, and others for upstream and downstream processes, as well as product development applications.
The bioprocess containers market consists of sales of Standard BioProcess Containers, Bioprocessing Films, Fluid Transfer Solutions, and Retention Devices. Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values, that is the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and retailers) or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.
The market value is defined as the revenues that enterprises gain from the sale of goods and/or services within the specified market and geography through sales, grants, or donations in terms of the currency (in USD unless otherwise specified).
The revenues for a specified geography are consumption values that are revenues generated by organizations in the specified geography within the market, irrespective of where they are produced. It does not include revenues from resales along the supply chain, either further along the supply chain or as part of other products.
