What are the Current Market Drivers?
High Cost of In-house Drug Development is Likely to Propel the Market Growth
Especially for pharmaceutical companies that are small and medium-sized, the drug discovery and development process is both time-intensive and expensive. In order to address these obstacles, an increasing number of pharmaceutical companies are utilising Contract Development and Manufacturing Organisations (CDMOs) as a more cost-effective and efficient solution.
The drug development process requires adherence to stringent U.S. FDA guidelines and maintaining rigorous quality and standards, which significantly inflates the cost of in-house drug development and manufacturing. The escalating costs associated with drug discovery, pre-clinical development, clinical trials, capital investment, funding shortages, and high failure rates of drugs during human trials are major factors driving this shift.
Outsourcing drug development to CDMOs allows pharmaceutical companies to manage expenses more effectively while leveraging specialized expertise and infrastructure. This strategic approach helps companies navigate the complexities of regulatory compliance, reduces in-house development costs, and enhances overall operational efficiency. Consequently, pharmaceutical companies are increasingly utilising contract manufacturing organisations (CMOs) to optimise their drug development processes and mitigate the financial burdens associated with introducing new medicines to the market.
Rising Demand for Specialty and Generic Medicines
The growing demand for both specialty and generic medicines is a major driver of the pharmaceutical contract manufacturing market. The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, an ageing global population, and the expiration of patents on numerous high-profile medicines are the primary factors driving this surge. In response, pharmaceutical companies are increasingly seeking cost-effective production solutions and accelerated time-to-market, leading them to partner with Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMOs) for their specialized capabilities and scalable operations.
Recent industry developments underscore this trend. For instance, Akums Drugs and Pharmaceuticals Ltd. has recently introduced Lobeglitazone, a medication for type 2 diabetes, highlighting the growing demand for specialized treatments. Similarly, Aurigene Pharmaceutical Services has announced plans to build a cutting-edge facility dedicated to the production of therapeutic proteins and antibodies, signaling a significant shift towards complex biologics and specialty pharmaceuticals.
These examples reflect a broader movement within the industry towards outsourcing to CMOs, driven by the need for efficiency and expertise in producing innovative and specialized drug products.

Where are the Market Opportunities?
Increasing Demand for Biologics and Biosimilars
The increasing demand for biologics and biosimilars represents a substantial growth opportunity for the pharmaceutical contract manufacturing market. Biologics, which encompass a diverse range of products such as vaccines, gene therapies, and monoclonal antibodies, are becoming a central focus for pharmaceutical companies due to their ability to address complex diseases like cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis.
Given the complexity of biologics, which necessitates advanced manufacturing processes, many pharmaceutical companies are opting to outsource production to specialized Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMOs) with the required expertise and infrastructure. The demand for these complex therapies is being further fuelled by the ongoing advancements in biotechnology and the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases.
Biosimilars, which are extremely similar to biologic products that have already been approved, are gaining momentum as the patents on numerous biologic drugs expire. This scenario presents a significant market opportunity for CMOs to engage in the production of cost-effective biosimilars. The global biosimilars market is anticipated to experience considerable growth, fueled by the need for affordable biologic therapies and supportive regulatory environments in regions such as Europe and Asia.
Recent industry developments underscore the sector's emphasis on biologics and biosimilars. For instance, Catalent’s 2023 acquisition of Bone Therapeutics’ cell therapy manufacturing subsidiary highlights a strategic investment in cell and gene therapy capabilities, aimed at expanding Catalent's ability to meet the increasing demand for advanced biologics manufacturing.
Emerging Markets to Offer Lucrative Growth Prospects
As a result of their skilled personnel and cost advantages, emerging countries are increasingly serving as important centres for bioprocess outsourcing. The expansion of pharmaceutical contract development and manufacturing services in these emerging markets is being further advanced by the rising interest of pharmaceutical companies in outsourcing drug discovery, which is being driven by escalating R&D costs, dwindling antibiotic pipelines, and increasing vaccine demands. Additionally, the low cost of production and labour in these regions, as well as the adoption of sophisticated manufacturing technologies, are incentivising market players to invest in developing markets such as Asia Pacific during the forecast period.
This trajectory of development is being spearheaded by nations such as China and India. Both nations present several compelling advantages that attract investments in pharmaceutical contract manufacturing. These benefits include low production costs, a large pool of skilled labor, and strategic proximity to expanding pharmaceutical markets in Asia and Africa. India, with its established proficiency in generics production, and China, with its significant investments in biotechnology and active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) manufacturing, are particularly notable. Moreover, China's government policies aimed at boosting domestic pharmaceutical production further enhance its attractiveness as a manufacturing hub.
As a result, India and China are expected to provide substantial opportunities for growth in the pharmaceutical contract manufacturing and development market in the coming years.
