“Global Filter Integrity Test Market” is a report recently generated by MarketResearch.biz. The study and analysis were conducted using highly qualified opinions and inputs, as well as comprehensive primary and secondary research efforts to determine various aspects of the filter integrity test market. The global filter integrity test market segmentation allows for deeper thought and understanding, in order to decisively assess, analyze, and study. Besides revenues for segments, global, regional, and country-wise market revenue segmentation has been compiled in a scrupulous manner for clear flow and understanding. The global filter integrity test market’s report has been segmented on the basis of method outlook, mode, type, end-use, and region.

Overview:

A filter integrity test is a crucial unit operation that is commonly employed in the bioprocessing industry to – comply with regulatory requirements, to ensure the sterilizing filter is installed correctly, and to confirm the structural integrity of a sterilizing filter. There are three main non-destructive integrity test processes that can be implemented both after and before filtration, they are – pressure hold test, forward flow (diffusion) test, and bubble point test.

A controlled and continuous performance of filter elements is one of several vital parameters in the process of bioproduction. The presence of well-defined, stringent guidelines as part of the quality control and assurance departments of filter assembly products to validate the filtration process has augmented the use of these techniques.

Dynamics:

The innovations in biopharmaceutical manufacturing such as the start of single-use technology, the inception of nano-biocatalysts and the increase in contract service providers have positively impacted the global filter integrity test market. The steady shift of the pharma industry towards biopharma manufacturing as a result of these innovations has steered the growth of the filter integrity test market.

An increased emphasis by biopharmaceutical and pharma firms has been placed on the integrity testing of sterilized filters in order to avert the delays and financial damages in the market launching of biotherapeutics. The results of these tests play a vital role in the manufacturing audit for the launch of biopharma products in the market.

Several prominent suppliers are rigorously exploring efforts to boost awareness about sterile filtration in biomanufacturing processes, this, in turn, will increase the adoption rates of filter integrity test products.

With respect to test methods, the bubble-point test acts as a simple and non-destructive method that is cost-effective and can be applied to any filter at any given time, without the risk of contamination. Factors such as these have resulted in its exhaustive use in the fields of medical and pharma device manufacturing workflows.

In terms of mode, the market is segmented into manual and automated systems. Automated testing allows multiple validations, manages the track record, erases operator errors and is unaffected by downstream interventions. Automated testing systems accounted for the market’s largest revenue share in 2018. Manual testing systems, on the other hand, are slated to grow at a steady pace over the forecasted period despite it having a low revenue share penetration.

With regard to product type segmentation, the global filter integrity test market is divided into – liquid filter integrity tests and air filter integrity tests.  Liquid filter integrity tests accounted for the largest revenue share of the market in 2018, due to the immense use of hydrophilic filters. They also various advantages like reduced waste disposal costs, reduced process downtime and minimized maintenance time, as well as costs. However, the air filter integrity tests are slated to witness a faster growth rate during the forecasted period.due to a surge in the adoption rates of hydrophobic membrane filters, meant for gas filtration.

In the matter of end-use insights, the highest use of filter integrity testing is in the biopharmaceutical and pharma industries. Due to technological innovations, a rather large proportion of conventional pharma firms have migrated towards developing biosimilars and biologics.

Regional Analysis:

The market in North America accounted for the largest revenue share in 2018. On the contrary, global companies are focusing on strategies to improve awareness regarding integrity testing in Asian countries.
