Global Freeze-Drying Market Share by Technology, 2020 (%)

Tray Style Freeze Dryers is anticipated to grow due to an increase in the utilization of contract manufacturing

Tray style freeze dryers market segment holds the major share in 2019. The factors such as the increase in the utilization of contract manufacturing, contract lyophilization services in the pharmaceutical industry, and the growing commercialization of labile drugs are propelling the growth of the market. The tray-style freeze dryers are larger than other dryers and perform both primary and secondary freeze-drying. The tray-style freeze dryer can dry products in bulk. Tray style freeze dryers are preferred for the higher degree of product lyophilization and use with the applications such as vaccines that require long-term storage.

Regional Outlooks

The global freeze drying market is further segmented based on geography including North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World. North America is the largest market in the freeze-drying market followed by Europe due to the increasing adoption of frozen food and lyophilized products. Other factors such as the increase in research and development activities and rising approval of biological products are also bolstering the market growth. Furthermore, the acceptance of advanced technologies during the development of vaccines and antibodies by several pharmaceutical companies will encourage the demand for lyophilization equipment in the region. Growth in the food industry and increasing risk of the perishability of food will also contribute to the market growth in the region during the forecast period.

Global Freeze-Drying Market Growth, by Region 2021-2027

Asia-Pacific will Have Considerable Shares in the Global Freeze-Drying Market

Asia-Pacific is projected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The market is growing in the region due to the shift of the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry to emerging economies for low-cost manufacturing, economic labor, and improved infrastructure. Improved healthcare spending, infrastructure development, and favorable government policies are expected to create a significant opportunity. Other factors such as the rising number of investments in this region, increase in R&D expenditure, and geographic expansion of lyophilization equipment companies are also propelling the growth of the market in the region. Increasing spending on food and R&D in healthcare and life sciences in the countries such as China, Japan, and India. Furthermore, the presence of major players in the lyophilization industry in the region and the rise in new manufacturing units of the leading pharma companies further projected to contribute significantly to the market growth.
