APAC Bullish on Biosupplier Revenue Amidst Global Uncertainty
The Asia-Pacific (APAC) market plays a crucial role for global biosupplier companies, contributing anywhere from 15 per cent to 25 per cent of their total global revenues. Between 2021 and 2023, the bioprocessing market was one of the strongest performers, growing at about 18 per cent annually due to COVID-19-driven demand. However, 2023 was a challenging year for biosuppliers, with the decline in COVID-19-related spending and various global events impacting business, resulting in plummeting revenue for most firms. While the bioprocessing sector saw impressive growth between 2021 and 2022, post-COVID-19 normalisation and rising financing costs have led to flat growth from 2022 to 2023. Despite this, the market is expected to rebound over the next two years, with an average growth forecast of around 9 per cent from 2023 to 2027, according to a report from Clearstate.
