Middle East & Africa Pharmaceutical Isolator Market Definition

The isolation concept protects the process from the Operator and or the operator from the process, while protecting the environment. The key to containment, is minimal exposure. By controlling the exposure range below the hazard level set for the compound, the Operator and the environment are properly protected. Hence, the product is protected and therefore a key regulatory issue is addressed. A pharmaceutical isolator is a sealed bacterial enclosure used in the pharmaceutical surrounding for aseptic filling and toxic process. It is made of a perfectly sterile main isolator where the products are handled, stored or packaged using shoulder-high gloves placed on one of the walls. The pharmaceutical isolator enables the control and containment of pharmaceutical processes. The conditions required for working of a pharmaceutical isolator are sterile environment and free of viable microorganisms. A pharmaceutical isolator ensures that production area and aseptic environment are placed in separate positions. A pharmaceutical industry isolator is cost effective and efficient, in comparison to cleanrooms for the pharmaceutical industry in an aseptic environment. It creates a controlled atmosphere during the microbial and drug production process by adjusting with the different standards certification standard required for isolators and restricted access barriers. It ensures the protection of the product, the operators and the environment at the same time.

The abundant applications of pharmaceutical isolators, vary for production and control purposes. It is used while handling, transferring or packing solid semi-solid or powder pharma drugs, handling and filing solutions and infusions.

Middle East & Africa Pharmaceutical Isolator Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints, and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail below:    

Drivers

Growing demand for the pharmaceutical isolators across booming pharmaceutical

Pharmaceutical isolator is a separative device that divides a pharmaceutical procedure or activity from the operator and the adjacent environment. It is used for various purposes such as:

• Providing a categorized aseptic environment for an activity or procedure and guarding it from microbial and non-microbial contamination rising from the operator and adjacent environment which is referred to product protection.
• Protective product from contamination produced by other product and procedure, moreover at the same time or during earlier operations. This is referred to as safeguard against method generated contamination or cross- contamination.

The Increasing contamination problems in the manufacturing unit in which comes isolator that create a demand for Pharmaceutical isolator that helps in contamination and de-contamination.

• Low operational cost of pharmaceutical isolators

Enclosures that are sealed to some standard of leak tightness that comprises inside qualified controlled environment, at modification with the surrounding conditions isolator application reaches from R&D by the production of pharmaceuticals to laboratory use, especially for the microbiological quality control. Whereas pharmaceutical aseptic production has extremely high standards of cleanness almost completely particle free and germ free environments for the aseptic production.

Due to growth in the pharma industry and the widening product range more and more manufacturers and suppliers needs to think about investments in latest added technologies of the clean room technology.

Aseptic processing of the pharmaceutical drugs is the major factor need to be included in good manufacturing practices meeting the government regulations. The high cost of the maintenance of the aseptic condition by clean room technology which is around 62% higher than the pharmaceutical isolators, shifting the manufacturers to acquire isolator’s technology and constraining the overall manufacturing cost of the pharmaceutical products.

Restraint

• Stringent Governmental Regulations               

Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) and intermediates for pharmaceutical use (for instance biological, radiopharmaceutical, and pharmaceutical) and those used to production drugs for clinical trials are regulated under the Divisions 1A and 2, Part C of the Food and Drug Regulations.

• Division 1A, Part C of the Food and Drug Regulations describes activities for which Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) compliance is required and must be demonstrated prior to the issuance of an API establishment license (EL).
• Division 2, Part C of the Food and Drug Regulations defines the requirements for the GMP of APIs and API intermediates, which are interpreted in the present guidance document.

Due to this strict regulation by the government that has to be followed for the production by the Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) Guidelines for Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) - (GUI-0104) which constraining the market growth rate.

Opportunity

• Strategic initiatives by market players

The rise in the pharmaceutical isolators market increases the need for strategic business ideas. It includes a partnership, business expansion, and other development. The rising demand for pharmaceuticals is significantly increasing the demand for excipient and to cope with this demand companies are building new manufacturing sites among other strategic initiatives.

These strategic initiatives such as product launches, agreement and business expansion by the major market player will boost the pharmaceutical isolator market growth and is expected to act as an opportunity for the Middle East & Africa medical display market.

Challenge

Lack of skilled expertise

The shortage of skilled expertise would challenge the pace of recovery and growth in one place. Often, the people who are unemployed in one place have skills that are in short supply elsewhere. Moreover, rapid technological advancement in this field also leads to lack of expertise.

Lack of skilled professionals while handling the pharmaceutical isolators poses a major challenge while selecting and developing the pharmaceutical isolators. The data by the Phys.org 2003 mentions the medical display industries are facing a shortage of workers due to increase demand of pharmaceutical isolators in Asia-Pacific region and severe scarcity of micro chips used in LED and LCD display, which increases the price lead times of LCD production.

As skill demands are too high, it has manifested as a challenge to retain and manage skill-specified professionals. Moreover, technological advancement is another aspect that leads to the increased demand for skilled professionals. Neurologists report significant unmet supportive care needs and barriers in their centers with only a small minority rating themselves as competently providing supportive care. There is an urgent need for education of neurologists and professionals for treatment of dementia and procuring available supportive care resources. Lack of trained and experienced professionals and persistent skill gaps limit the employability prospects and access to quality jobs. It is therefore apparent that availability of professionals equipped with adequate skills is expected to challenge the market growth.
