The growing R&D of biosimilars is driving growth of the prepacked chromatography columns market
The
growing need for purification of biopharmaceuticals is primarily fueling growth
of the global prepacked
chromatography columns market. Moreover, the increasing launch of
biopharmaceutical drugs is again fostering the growth of the market. According
to Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, over 750 orphan drugs
were approved in the U.S. in 2018, compared to over 600 in 2017. Additionally,
the growing R&D of biosimilars is expected to provide potential growth
opportunities. For instance, in May 2018, Pfizer, Inc., a U.S.-based
pharmaceutical company, received the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
approval for RETACRIT, which is a biosimilar to Epogen and Procrit. It is the
first and only FDA approved biosimilar erythropoiesis-stimulating agent.
1. In January 2020, Agilent Technologies Inc.
collaborated with the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, India, to promote
biopharmaceutical research
2. In March 2018, Repligen Corporation announced the
commercial launch of its next-generation OPUS® column, the OPUS 80R, which is
the largest pre-packed column on the market and is suitable for late-stage clinical
into commercial-scale manufacturing of biological drugs
3. In April 2020, Tosoh Bioscience GmbH, a provider of
chromatographic solutions for the separation and purification of biomolecules,
announced the introduction of SkillPak 1 mL and 5 mL pre-packed columns
4. North America is expected to hold a leading position
in the global prepacked chromatography columns market owing to the increasing
adoption of merger and acquisition strategies among key players. For instance,
in April 2019, Repligen Corporation entered into a definitive agreement to
acquire privately-held C Technologies, Inc. to expand its Process Analytics
segment of bioprocessing
Key
players engaged in the global prepacked chromatography columns market are Agela
Technologies (Danaher Corporation),
Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., EMD Millipore (Merck KGaA), GE Healthcare,
KNAUER Wissenschaftliche Geräte GmbH, Agilent Technologies Inc., Pall
Corporation (Danaher Corporation),
Repligen Corporation, Phenomenex, Inc., and Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.
Prepacked
chromatogram columns refer to the filled columns that are used extensively in
the chromatography industry for the analysis of mixtures containing key
analytes. They are widely used for different chromatography methods, including
ion exchange, semi-log, etc. Prepacked
Chromatography Columns are made of stainless steel with fully welded joints and
are available in three different thicknesses to suit analytical needs. There
are different types of chromatography columns available which include column
options for solid-phase analysis, ion phase analysis, mobile phase analysis,
gas phase analysis, and quantitative spectroscopy applications.
