The major factors driving the growth of this market include the advantages of sterile filters over non-sterile filters, the growing demand for pure water in the end-user market, increasing adoption of single-use technologies, and rising focus on the development of large biopharmaceutical drugs.

The sterile filtration market is projected to reach USD 7.4 billion by 2025 from USD 4.7 billion in 2019, at a CAGR of 8.0% during the forecast period.

Fill-finish process accounted for the largest share of the application segment in 2018

Based on application, the sterile filtration market is segmented into fill-finish processes, buffer filtration & cell culture media preparation, bioburden reduction, water purification, and air filtration. The fill-finish processes segment accounted for the largest market share in 2018. The fill-finish process is the final operation in the manufacturing of sterile products and demands the highest level of quality and reliability. This, in turn, drives the demand for sterile filters, as it is the most critical filtration step to ensure product sterility and safety.

Recent developments:

# In 2019, Merck (Germany) launched the Stericup Quick Release 500 ml Vacuum Filtration System.
# In 2019, Merck (Germany)) expanded its distribution capacity in Gillingham, UK.
# In 2019, Sartorius (Germany) launched Sartolab MultiStation (filtration units).
