[Research Report] The biopharmaceutical contract manufacturing market is projected to reach US$ 27,868.50 million by 2028 from US$ 15,735.04 million in 2021; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.5% from 2021 to 2028.

The rising outsourcing by pharmaceutical companies is one of the most key factors driving the growth of the market. A few years ago, the contract manufacturing industry was a niche service market offering additional manufacturing capacity or specific services to pharmaceutical companies. The rise of CMOs was fueled by the increasing number of drug manufacturing failures. In the past, pharmaceutical companies had undertaken manufacturing facilities to develop innovative drugs. However, to reduce the risk of overcapacities, the demand for manufacturing outsourcing has continuously risen. Recently, Revolo Biotherapeutics entered into a partnership with contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO)—Northway Biotech—to manufacture Revolo’s binding immuno-regulatory protein 1805. The partnership included services from cell line development to manufacturing protein with quality assurance and regulatory compliance support. Similarly, Gland Pharma has been manufacturing Remdesivir for four companies, including Mylan, since 2021. Also, the organization increased its manufacturing quotas due to high demand from the companies. In 2019, Samsung Biologics and GI Innovation signed a contract for immunochemotherapy. Under this agreement, Samsung Biologics was providing services ranging from f-cell lines development to production of Phase-I drug substances. The increasing number of contracts between biopharmaceutical companies and contract manufacturing companies shows an increasing market size for the biopharmaceutical contract manufacturing market.

North America is likely to continue its dominance in the biopharmaceutical contract manufacturing market during 2021–2028. The US holds the largest share of the market in North America and is expected to continue this trend during the forecast period. Increasing demand for clinical trials, growing pharmaceutical and medical device industries, increasing healthcare expenditure, high R&D spending, and the presence of key market players in the region that offer manufacturing, storage, logistic, and other services is likely to enhance the market growth in the country. For instance, Alderley Analytical, Almac, and among others are well-known manufacturing organizations that offer a wide range of integrated services to more than 600 pharmaceutical and biotech companies. The presence and significant impact of biopharmaceutical companies in the region in terms of revenue, technology, and employment opportunities are expected to aid the growth of the market in the region.

Market Insights

Increasing Demand for Biologics Drives Market Growth

The contract manufacturing market for biologics is growing at an unprecedented rate owing to increasing biologics pipeline, manufacturing complexity, and companies shifting their focus towards core activities. Presently, many pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies outsource varied services from early-stage drug development to commercial-scale manufacturing. Outsourcing is required to expedite research and development, speed up market entry, give access to novel technologies, regulatory expertise, and reduce risks at a competitive cost. Complexities in biologics development and production and increasingly stringent quality standards have driven drug manufacturers to prefer contract manufacturer services. Moreover, many companies are opting CMOs services to speed up the development process and lower production costs. For instance, Sanofi has outsourced manufacturing of its biologics pipeline to Boehringer Ingelheim. Moreover, TaiMed Biologics Ibalizumab (the FDA-designated orphan drug) is manufactured by CMO WuXi PharmaTech. Also, in 2021, Samsung Biologics expanded its collaboration with AstraZeneca from 2020. The contract included the production of a drug substance, AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 long-acting antibody combination, and manufacturing of a cancer immunotherapy product started from 2022.

Product-Based Insights

Based on product, biopharmaceuticals contract manufacturing market is segmented into biosimilar and biologics. The biologics segment held the largest share of the market in 2021 owing to increasing demand for biologics, increasing research, and development activities to develop new drugs for chronic indications in the forecast period. The segment is further segmented into monoclonal antibodies, recombinant proteins, vaccines, and others.
