The global lyophilization equipment and services market size reached USD 6.8 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 11.2 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.34% during 2025-2033. The rising demand for lyophilization equipment and services in the pharmaceutical industry, recent development of advanced lyophilization equipment, and increasing adoption of lyophilization services represent some of the key factors driving the market.
Lyophilization, also known as freeze-drying, is a stabilizing process where a substance is frozen, followed by the removal of solvents, such as water, through sublimation and desorption. It involves the utilization of various equipment, such as lab freeze dryers, sterilizable lyophilizers, and non-sterile freeze-dryers. Lyophilization operations are also outsourced to various qualified service providers, including contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs) that offer specialized equipment and expertise at lower costs. Lyophilization equipment and services are widely used to preserve various perishable goods, such as drugs, biological samples, food products, museum exhibition objects, dairy, astronaut food, and nutraceuticals. As compared to conventional drying methods, lyophilization maintains the shape and form of the products, retains colors and volatiles, and provides faster rehydration.
Lyophilization Equipment and Services Market Trends:
The rising demand for lyophilization equipment and services in the pharmaceutical industry to dry heat-sensitive drugs at low temperatures, improve the stability and storage of labile medicines, purify samples, produce diagnostics, and manufacture solid forms of dosages that are easy to store, ship, and later reconstituted to its original form is one of the primary factors driving the market growth. In line with this, the widespread utilization of lyophilization equipment for developing biopharmaceuticals, such as protein-based medicines, cell and gene therapies, antibodies, and nucleic acids, is acting as another growth-inducing factor. Furthermore, increasing product application in the food processing industry to preserve various products, such as noodles, soups, and instant coffee for consumption by military personnel, hikers, and astronauts, is providing an impetus to the market growth. Along with this, lyophilization equipment and services are widely adopted in the dairy industry to extend the shelf-life of yogurt, milk, ice cream, and cheese that can be supplied to bakeries and restaurants, which in turn is favoring the market growth. Additionally, the recent development of advanced lyophilization equipment that reduces cross-contamination, allows endpoint determination, offers simultaneous loading and defrosting, provides steam sterilization, and ensures high accuracy and safety is positively influencing the market growth. Moreover, the increasing demand for lyophilization services, as they reduce capital investment, saves time, and provide expertise, and help businesses in improving efficiency and cost-saving, is facilitating the market growth. Other factors, rising expenditure in healthcare infrastructural development, extensive research and development (R&D) activities, and the increasing demand for packaged food, are anticipated to the drive market growth.
