Thawing System Market Trends

Global Thawing System Market Overview

The Thawing System Market Size was valued at USD 0.10 Billion in 2023. The Global Thawing System industry is projected to grow from USD 0.20 Billion in 2024 to USD 0.40 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.80% during the forecast period (2024 - 2032). Thawing system is used for safe storage and transport of biopharmaceuticals products.  There are two major types thawing system used manual and automated.

In June 2023, Helmer Scientific launched a new thawing system for use in the food and beverage industry. The system is said to be capable of quickly and safely thawing frozen food products without compromising their quality.

In May 2023, Sarstedt unveiled a novel defrosting device that targets medical applications. The machine has been touted as being capable of rapidly thawing out frozen blood products along with other medical supplies safely while not affecting their efficacy.

In April 2023, Sartorius launched a new thawing system for use in the industrial sector. It is said that this system can quickly and safely thaw industrial pipes and other industrial equipments without destroying them.

Biocision has released a novel defrosting device meant for research and development industry during March 2023. As per findings, this particular instrument can immediately defrost cell samples within minutes without damage.

Boekel Scientific introduced a new thawing unit for use in the laboratory industry back in February 2023. Its manufacturers have claimed that without any loss or damage, it unfreezes all forms of frozen samples more securely.

For instance, an update on BioLife Solutions’ intellectual property expansion was issued by BioLife Solutions Inc., a producer and developer of revolutionary bioproduction goods/services meant specifically for cell/gene therapy (CGT) together with the bigger biopharma markets in November 2022. In relation to its platform technologies for cell processing, media, storage containers, freezers and thaw systems it received seven patents from USPTO or other patent offices outside U.S., filed 43 new patent applications covering novel inventions including different aspects of our proprietary Stirling engine technology.

In December 2021, Sartorius entered into partnership with HOF Sonderanlagenbau whereby two HOF horizontal plate freeze-thaw units would be integrated into Sartorius’s portfolio so that customers could access full range compatible freeze-thaw equipment and consumables. This step made it possible for faster and easier implementation of robust frozen drug substance management platforms through improvement of validation and purchase support from a single supplier.
