The pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical segment was valued at USD 88.92 million in 2018. Further, the growing need for novel vaccine development to prevent several emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases is increasing. Thus, various pharmaceutical companies globally are highly investing in increasing the R&D, manufacturing facilities, distribution networks, and marketing of novel vaccines for various infections. For instance, in March 2022, Bayer AG, a leading pharmaceutical company, invested USD 1.6 billion. The money is directed toward adding innovative technologies, new production facilities, and digitization. Thus, high investment by major players will boost the growth of the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies segment in the global biological safety cabinet market during the forecast period.
Class II biological safety cabinet is engineered for handling microbiological samples in studying cell culture, toxicology, pharmaceutical, and toxicology. The demand for Class II biological safety cabinets is increasing as they are highly efficient in maintaining inward airflow and have ultralow penetration air filters (ULPA) / high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA)-filtered downflow, which provides unidirectional airflow within the workspace. Further, with the incorporation of digital features in Class II BSC, working with highly infectious samples has become easier. Consequently, these features are responsible for driving the growth of the Class II segment in the global biological safety cabinet market during the forecast period.
The class I biological safety cabinets are designed to draw air away from the personnel working in the cabinet and create a negative pressure zone to prevent contaminants. Class I biological safety is widely used and only provides protection to personnel and the environment from exposure to biohazards. Additionally, the factor that is driving the use of Class I biological safety cabinets in life sciences and pharmaceuticals is its versatility, as it can accommodate a wide range of laboratory activities, including handling hazardous chemicals, biological materials, and equipment operation. Hence, the Class I biological safety cabinet segment is expected to witness growth in the global market during the forecast period.

North America is estimated to contribute 38% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that will shape the market during the forecast period. North America dominates the market, driven by demand from pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, and research sectors. The rising prevalence of infectious (e.g., influenza, hepatitis) and non-infectious diseases (e.g., cancer) fuels the demand for safe environments. While infectious illnesses like MMR have declined in the US, efforts persist to combat them, exemplified by GlaxoSmithKline's FDA-approved PRIORIX vaccine for MMR in August 2022. This collaborative approach between government and private sectors propels R&D efforts for disease prevention. Therefore, growing research activities in life science and pharmaceutical are expected to foster the growth of regional biological safety cabinets (BSC) during the forecast period.
Companies are implementing various strategies, such as strategic alliances, partnerships, mergers and acquisitions, geographical expansion, and product/service launches, to enhance their presence in the market. The report also includes detailed analyses of the competitive landscape of the market and information about 20 market companies, including:
Air Science USA LLC: The company offers biological safety cabinets such as The Purair BIO biosafety cabinet which is designed with a single EC blower motor for ease of use, reliability, and to promote low cost of ownership.
Qualitative and quantitative analysis of companies has been conducted to help clients understand the wider business environment as well as the strengths and weaknesses of key market players. Data is qualitatively analyzed to categorize companies as pure play, category-focused, industry-focused, and diversified; it is quantitatively analyzed to categorize companies as dominant, leading, strong, tentative, and weak.
There are multiple factors influencing market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges.
Increasing risk of infectious disease is the key factor driving market growth. Infectious diseases are caused by organisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Globally, infectious disease outbreaks have increased due to changing lifestyles, which results in reduced immunity. Furthermore, children are at a higher risk of developing pneumonia. Globally, pneumonia is a leading cause of death in children. The pattern of infection incidence has also been changing with the evolution of drug-resistant pathogens.
Consequently, the increasing prevalence of infectious diseases is expected to accelerate the need for developing therapeutics, which will require the use of biological safety cabinets to reduce the risk of contamination during research activities. Globally, the incidence and prevalence of infectious diseases have increased due to climate variability. Thus, the market is expected to witness substantial growth during the forecast period.
Rising product launch initiatives is one of the primary market trends shaping growth. Market players are engaging in the expansion of their product portfolios and strengthening their business operations. Large medical equipment companies also provide additional resources to develop and improve new medical/laboratory equipment. The global market players are consistently innovating and launching products to remain competitive in the market.
For instance, in January 2023, Esco launched the Labculture G4 Class II Type A2 biological safety cabinet (LA2 G4). The biological safety cabinet has NSF certification and a 3D BSC diagram. The product is designed to give improved user and product protection and high efficiency. Therefore, the increasing number of new product launches is expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Availability of containment cabinets is a major challenge that affects market growth. There are several alternatives available in the market for biosafety cabinets, such as fume hoods, aseptic containment isolators, chemical cabinets, and laminar flow cabinets. Fume hoods are commonly used in laboratories to provide ventilation and containment for chemical fumes, vapor, and dust particles. Aseptic containment isolators are enclosed chambers equipped with gloves that allow personnel to manipulate samples or equipment inside the chamber without exposing themselves to hazardous materials.
Besides, another substitute, laminar flow cabinets or tissue culture hoods, are similar to biological safety cabinets has HEPA-filtered airflow to create a clean working environment for handling cell or tissue cultures and non-infectious biological materials. These alternatives are cost-efficient, have low energy consumption, have less noise level than biological safety cabinets, and provide varying degrees of protection depending on the specific needs of the laboratory and the materials being used. Hence, the availability of several substitutes at feasible prices may impede market growth during the forecast period.
