Pharmaceutical and cosmetic markets projected to expand through 2035

The global pharmaceutical and cosmetic markets are projected to undergo substantial expansion between 2026 and 2035. This growth is driven by rapid technological advancements, increased research and development investment, and a shift toward digital transformation and automation to optimize operations.

In the biopharmaceutical sector, single-use technologies are gaining prominence to address production bottlenecks, particularly in separation and clarification stages. Alfa Laval is set to showcase these solutions at BioSpain 2026 in Bilbao. The company aims to demonstrate how single-use centrifugation can increase process flexibility and prevent productivity issues when traditional filtration systems reach capacity limits.
