Market Overview

Levitronix’s bearingless bioprocessing pumps employ magnetic levitation technology to suspend the pump impeller without mechanical contact, eliminating friction, particles, and shear stress during fluid transfer. This unique design makes them especially valuable in the pharmaceutical industry for handling sensitive biologics such as monoclonal antibodies, vaccines, cell and gene therapies. By ensuring ultra-clean, low-shear pumping, they help maintain product purity, increase batch yields, and comply with stringent GMP requirements. Widely used in both upstream and downstream processes — from bioreactor harvesting to sterile filtration — these pumps support modern trends in single-use and hybrid biomanufacturing, offering pharmaceutical producers a reliable solution for higher process efficiency and reduced risk of contamination or costly production failures.

The global Levitronix Bearingless Pumps in Pharmaceuticals market was valued at US$ 18.46 million in 2024 and is anticipated to reach US$ 49.49 million by 2031, witnessing a CAGR of 14.74% during the forecast period 2025-2031.

Levitronix® was founded in 2001 as a spin-off from Sulzer, a 4B USD Swiss industrial technology company at that time. Levitronix®‘s history stretches back many years before. In the late ’80s and early ’90s, the concept of a maglev bearingless motor was developed at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) and then commercialized with Sulzer and other industrial partners in the late ’90s.

Levitronix® was the first company to receive CE and FDA approval for a maglev blood pump. The medical device is used for temporary extracorporeal mechanical circulatory support and ensures excellent hemocompatibility. Levitronix®‘s heart assist business was sold to Thoratec Corporation in 2011.

Levitronix® has been a key supplier to the Semiconductor industry since the start of the company. Compared to other pump systems, the bearingless pump principle allows the user to process ultrapure fluids with virtually no contamination. Soon after the market entry, Levitronix® became the standard in various processes such as cleaning, plating or CMP slurry delivery.

The integrated controllers of Levitronix® pump systems allow for control of process parameters such as flow. To provide complete, highest purity solutions to customers, Levitronix® released the LEVIFLOW® ultrasonic flow sensors in 2009. With the entry into the Life Science industry in 2014, the product line was expanded by single-use inline and reusable clamp-on sensors.

Since its inception, Levitronix® has released three generations of maglev pump systems. The first generation was released between 2001 and 2008 and consisted of 3 maglev motor sizes and close to 30 pump heads to cover the most frequent applications. The second generation (released between 2008 and 2018) was characterized by improved performance and value, and an enormous variety of pump heads and controller variations to fit the customer’s requirements as close as possible. The third generation of pumps (released from 2018) is designed for ease of use and comes with an integrated controller and substantially reduced footprint.

The application of Levitronix®‘s bearingless motor technology is not limited to pumps. Over the course of the company’s history, various other maglev products were released, including mixers, wafer rotation systems, fans, and viscometers. All products are designed for highest purity, gentle processing, reliability, and a long lifetime.

Levitronix® has established subsidiaries around the globe that act as representative offices such as in the USA (4x), Taiwan (1x), Japan (3x), and Korea (1x). Since its inception, Levitronix® had been steadily growing and expanding its facilities. To position the company for future growth, Levitronix® relocated its headquarters and main production facility to a new building that offers 75,000 sqft of floor space in the spring of 2022.

Levitronix®PuraLev® Low Shear Single-Use Pump Systems

PuraLev® Single-Use pump systems are designed for demanding fluid applications in bioprocessing where extremely low shear, pulsation-free, and continuously controlled flow ensure the highest product yield. Based on the principle of magnetic levitation, the pump impeller is suspended, contact-free, inside a sealed casing and is driven by the magnetic field of the motor resulting in a continuous smooth flow.

Application:

Pumping of shear-sensitive liquids and cells

Bioprocessing (for example perfusion)

Recirculation and transfer applications in bioreactors

Filtration

Levitronix®PuraLev®Low Shear Multi-Use Pump Systems

Levitronix® PuraLev® multi-use pump systems are designed for demanding fluid applications where ultra-low shear, pulsation-free, and continuously controlled flow eliminate any formation of particles resulting in a highly reliable solution. Based on the principle of magnetic levitation, the pump impeller is suspended, contact-free, inside a sealed casing and is driven by the magnetic field of the motor resulting in a continuous and smooth flow. It combines all the advantages of a centrifugal pump but avoids problems related to the breakdown of mechanical bearings and seals found in competitive pump systems.

Application:

Pumping of shear-sensitive liquids and cells

Bioprocessing

Recirculation and transfer applications in bioreactors

Perfusion of hollow-fiber reactors

Sterile and aseptic flow circuits in the pharmaceutical and food industry

Key Raw Materials

Levitronix’s magnetic levitation bearingless pumps rely on a highly specialized supply chain for both pump head and motor part materials. For the pump head, which includes the impeller, housing, and sealing components, the company primarily sources high-purity fluoropolymers (PTFE, PFA) and biocompatible polypropylene from global chemical leaders such as The Chemours Company, Daikin Industries, and INEOS Group. Outokumpu supplies stainless steel for specific structural parts when required. This upstream chain is characterized by tight technical specifications, limited qualified suppliers, and potential risks related to raw material shortages, geopolitical factors, and stringent purity standards essential for life sciences and semiconductor applications.

For motor components such as the outer housing, magnets, and cables, Levitronix works with reputable regional suppliers including Stena Metall Group for coated aluminum housings, Sura Magnets for high-performance rare earth magnets, and Encitech for robust industrial cables and connectors. These local partnerships ensure quality and delivery flexibility, but the supply chain still depends on global rare earth resources, exposing it to fluctuations in raw material availability and regulatory compliance pressures, especially under EU environmental directives. Looking ahead, maintaining multi-source strategies, securing long-term supply agreements, and meeting ESG expectations will be vital to strengthen supply resilience and sustain competitive advantages in high-purity flow control markets.

QYR Insights

Acceleration of Single-Use Bioprocessing Lines

Over the past decade, the pharmaceutical industry has shifted from fixed stainless-steel facilities toward hybrid or fully single-use production lines. This trend is driven by the need for faster changeovers, reduced cleaning validation, and minimized cross-contamination. Bearingless pumps designed for single-use integrate perfectly into this modular approach, offering plug-and-play installation and disposal after a single batch.

Growth of Cell & Gene Therapy Production

Unlike traditional biologics, cell and gene therapies involve extremely sensitive living cells and viral vectors. Shear damage during pumping can reduce cell viability or viral titer. Bearingless pumps eliminate friction points by suspending the impeller magnetically, which dramatically reduces turbulence and shear compared to traditional rotary or peristaltic pumps. As more autologous and allogeneic cell therapies move toward commercial scale, demand for gentle fluid transfer grows significantly.

Shift Toward Continuous & Intensified Bioprocessing

Continuous bioprocessing is gaining traction as a way to improve productivity and reduce manufacturing footprints. This operational model demands pumps that can run for extended periods with minimal maintenance and stable, pulsation-free flow. Bearingless pumps excel here, as the lack of mechanical contact reduces wear and unplanned downtime.
