Germany downstream processing market outlook

The databook is designed to serve as a comprehensive guide to navigating this sector. The databook focuses on market statistics denoted in the form of revenue and y-o-y growth and CAGR across the globe and regions. A detailed competitive and opportunity analyses related to downstream processing market will help companies and investors design strategic landscapes.


Chromatography systems was the largest segment with a revenue share of 39.98% in 2024. Horizon Databook has segmented the Germany downstream processing market based on chromatography systems, filters, evaporators, centrifuges, dryers covering the revenue growth of each sub-segment from 2018 to 2030.


In Germany, the bioprocess-engineering research is majorly conducted in industrial sector as many biotechnology companies are focused on process development, especially for antibiotics and large-volume production. However, as downstream processing accounts for the major production costs, key players are focusing to introduce new unit operations and improve existing purification methods.

In this regard, the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics of Complex Technical Systems, Germany has developed novel platform technologies for purification of viral vectors, virus & virus-like particles, and pharmaceutically relevant glycoproteins. For instance, the objective of the institute’s work on downstream processing of influenza virus is to develop and explore a purification process that is useful for cell culture-derived vaccines.

For this, unit operations such as ultrafiltration, ion exchange, size-exclusion, affinity, hydrophobic interaction and steric exclusion chromatography are combined to an overall process train. Moreover, to improve productivity and performance of downstream process, advanced membrane adsorbers, modern resins, monoliths, and continuous purification methods (such as moving bed chromatography) are used. These factors enhance the product quality and thereby the market growth for downstream processing within the country.
