Industrial Microbiology Market Drivers
Surging Applications of Industrial Microbiology are Projected to Drive the Growth of the Industrial Microbiology Market:
Industrial microbiology is a branch of
biotechnology that puts into use microbial sciences to develop industrial
products in mass quantities, frequently utilizing microbial cell factories. The
medical application to industrial microbiology is the generation of novel
medications synthesized in a particular organism for medical purposes. The
generation of antibiotics is essential for the treatment of numerous bacterial
infections. Certain natural happening antibiotics and precursors are generated
by way of a process termed fermentation. The microorganisms develop in a liquid
media where the population size is regulated in order to yield the greatest
quantity of product. In this environment, nutrients, pH, temperature, and oxygen are regulated also in order to
maximize the number of cells and cause them not to die before the generation of
the antibiotic of interest. Once the antibiotic is generated, it must be extracted in order to yield an income. Vitamins also get
generated in massive amounts either by fermentation or biotransformation.
Vitamin B2 (riboflavin), for example, is generated
both ways. Biotransformation is principally utilized for the generation of
riboflavin, and the carbon source starting material for this reaction is
glucose. There are a few strains of microorganisms that were engineered to
boost the yield of riboflavin generated. The most typical organism utilized for
this reaction is “Ashbya gossypii” fungus. In the food industry,
fermentation is a reaction where sugar can be transformed into a gas, alcohol,
or acids. Fermentation occurs anaerobically, which means microorganisms that go
through fermentation can perform without the presence of oxygen. Yeasts and
bacterium are typically utilized to mass-produce the products. The
generation of yogurt begins from the pasteurization of milk, where undesired
microbes are decreased or removed. Enzymes can be generated by way of
fermentation either by submerged fermentation and/ or by solid-state
fermentation. In agriculture, microbial pesticides, normally a virus,
bacterium, or fungus are utilized to regulate pest populations in a more
particular manner. The most typically utilized microbe for the generation of
microbial bio-pesticides is Bacillus thuringiensis, also termed Bt. Microbial
products of potential significance include flavoring agents like monosodium
glutamate and nucleotides. Monosodium glutamate is the dominant amino acid in
dietary proteins, constituting around 10% of the total amino acid content. The
surging applications of industrial microbiology are therefore fuelling the
growth of the Industrial Microbiology Market during the forecast period
2022-2027.
Progressive Automation and Digitization In Industrial Microbiology is Expected to Boost the Growth of the Industrial Microbiology Market:
Monosodium glutamate is extensively utilized as a
flavor enhancer in the food industry. The application of MSG in sodium
reduction may be efficient since MSG includes around 12% sodium (42 milligrams
of sodium per teaspoon), in comparison with one teaspoon of table salt (sodium
chloride), which includes around 40% sodium (or 2300 milligrams of sodium per
teaspoon). Instruments of automation in the food industry include
computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) which is the manufacturing technique of
utilizing computers to regulate the complete production process. This
integration permits individual processes to trade information with each other
and initiate activities. Regarding the biopharmaceutical industry, to avert
contamination in biopharmaceutical products, operating procedures have to be
carefully supervised all through the development and manufacturing process.
Including automation and robotics in industrial microbiology, workflows can
assist in recognizing and averting contamination. As per Valerie Wittenberg,
Head of Robotics and Automation for Industrial Microbiology at Merck, the part
of industrial microbiology is crucial in the biopharmaceutical sector. Its
purpose is to supervise contamination events and oversee the development of
standard operating procedures to diminish the hazard of contamination. If one
looks at injectable medications, for example, contamination requires to be zero
– there cannot be any bacteria in the final product – owing to it being
injected directly into the patients. Furthermore, Valerie Wittenberg indicates
that as more automation is included in industrial microbiology workflows,
enhancements in processes, greater process control, and a reduction in costs
from false-positive or false-negative results are anticipated to be observed.
An essential area where work is being actively carried on at Merck is the
automation of actions that are performed repeatedly by humans. Attempts are
being made to substitute those steps with, for example, a robotic arm
programmed to pick up funnels or pipettes. This has the potential to ensure
some level of repeatability, which, in turn, decreases errors and costs
associated with those errors. The progressive automation and digitization in
industrial microbiology are therefore driving the growth of the Industrial
Microbiology Market during the forecast period 2022-2027.
Industrial Microbiology Market Challenges
Challenges of Industrial Microbiology are Hampering the Growth of Industrial Microbiology Market:
As per the U.S. Bureau Of Labor Statistics,
“employment of microbiologists is projected to grow 5 percent from 2020 to
2030, slower than the average for all occupations”. In industrial microbiology,
acceptance of progressive technologies is resulting in lack of skilled manpower
trained to utilize the novel methods. Another factor restricting the
development is the dearth of computation skills. These resources are needed in
industrial microbiology as novel methods are mostly used across the industry.
Innovations in industrial microbiology will allow more efficient storage and
analysis capabilities that comes with computation. In conjunction with the
lack of skilled labor, the soaring cost of sterility and bioburden testing,
specifically in the developing countries like Brazil, India and China act as
constraints. The maintenance compliance levels is another demanding challenge.
Industrial microbiology has further restrictions owing to the requirement of
having the working microorganism completely operative and safeguarded against
mutation, other microbial contaminants, competitors and environmental
alterations. These issues are thus hampering the growth of the Industrial
Microbiology Market.

- In June 2021, bioMérieux introduced EPISEQ® SARS-COV-2, a genomic software solution, to back microbiology labs in identification and reporting from raw sequencing data related to SARS-CoV-2 variants. Introduced globally, EPISEQ® SARS-COV-2 is a novel application, planned to recognize SARS-CoV-2 variants utilizing samples from positive patients. The platform recognizes variants based on international nomenclature of any novel variant of concern (VOC) as defined by the World Health Organization and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
- In May 2021, BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) declared the accessibility of BD Surgiphor™ Sterile Wound Irrigation System. It is the earliest and only ready-to-use aqueous povidone-iodine (PVP-I) irrigation solution that mechanically loosens and eliminates wound debris. BD Surgiphor™ is a pre-mixed, pre-labeled, single patient surgical wound irrigation solution. BD Surgiphor™ utilizes PVP-I, a well-recognized antiseptic agent, which is a preservative within the solution, offering a broad-spectrum antimicrobial effect against gram-positive bacteria, gram-negative bacteria and yeast. This decreases the hazard of unwanted microbial growth in the solution once the bottle is opened.
