Market Highlights

The Global Freeze Drying Equipment Market Size held a market value of USD 2.2 billion in 2018 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.9% over the forecast period.  

Freeze dryers are widely used for the prevention of heat-sensitive biological materials, pharmaceuticals, and food, among others. Nowadays, freeze drying has become a standard procedure used in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies for stabilizing and storing drug products. This process involves drying delicate biological and heat-sensitive drugs at low temperatures, due to which the physical structure of drugs is maintained. These processed products are used in antibodies and emergency vaccines. Increasing awareness regarding various benefits of the freeze dried product, such as enhanced efficiency related to desiccant drying and air-drying are responsible for the growth of the market during the forecast period. Moreover, the rising usage of freeze drying equipment in surgical procedures.

However, high set up & maintenance cost and increasing demand for refurbished systems from various biotechnology & pharmaceutical companies are likely to restrain the growth of the market.
