Biopharma Buffer Market

Plant-based proteins is fastest growing segment fueling growth of the Biopharma Buffer market

The global Biopharma Buffer Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 3.68 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 7.1% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Biopharma buffers play a vital role in maintaining optimal pH during various biopharmaceutical manufacturing and purification processes. Products like recombinant proteins, monoclonal antibodies, and vaccines require controlled pH environments during manufacturing and purification to maintain their stability, efficacy, and safety. Changing pH can disrupt protein structure and impede their functional properties.

Market Overview:
Biopharma buffers are solutions used to maintain optimal pH during biopharmaceutical manufacturing. Common types include acetate, citrate, phosphate, and Tris buffers. They help control pH for processes like cell cultivation, purification, formulation, and storage of biologics. Maintaining precise pH is critical to preserving the effectiveness of products like vaccines, blood factors, and monoclonal antibodies.

Market key trends:
One key trend in the  Global Biopharma Buffer Market is the rise of plant-based proteins. As consumer demand for sustainable and vegan alternatives grows, biopharma companies are investing in plants as production systems. Developing plant-based versions of biologics such as antibodies requires optimized buffer conditions to prevent degradation during extraction and purification. Plant cell toxicity is also a concern, necessitating stringent pH control throughout manufacturing. This is driving greater adoption of high-performance biopharma buffers tailored for plant-based biologics.

Segment Analysis

The global biopharma buffer market is segmented on the basis of type, end user and geography. By type, the market is classified into phosphate buffer, tris buffer, acetate buffer and other buffers.
