Preclinical CROs Market Size and Growth 2031

The Preclinical CROs Market size was estimated to be US$ 5.52 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 11.19 billion by 2031; it is estimated to record a CAGR of 9.2% till 2031. Increasing number of clinical trials are likely to remain key Preclinical CROs Market trends.

Preclinical CROs Market Analysis

Rising prevalence of rare diseases and rising number of outsourcing activities by the pharmaceutical companies to CROs for drug development is fueling the growth of the pre-clinical CROs market. Also, improvements in pre-clinical development result in reduced costs as well as timelines is driving the pre-clinical CROs market growth. For example, pharma companies reduce the time they take to reach FIH application by 40% or more, with drugs progressing from candidate nomination to the start of clinical trials in little as 12 to 15 months. Such timelines not only provide patients with rapid access to innovative medicines but also provides pharma companies to account for high revenue targets with a longer period of drug exclusivity in the market.

Preclinical CROs Market Overview

A pre-clinical CRO, or preclinical contract research organization, provides the experience, knowledge, and skill required to take a pharmaceutical product or medical device from the drawing board to distribution. Majority of the sponsoring organizations do not have the requisite facilities and staff for conducting tests under special supervision and appropriate set-up for particular drugs and medical devices and thus choose to contract research of this kind.

Preclinical CROs Market Drivers and Opportunities

Increasing Preference for CROs  

As clinical trials are increasingly becoming complex procedures as it is important to properly execute and oversee the operations that are occurring in the research-based organization. To avoid the errors due to improper execution, research-based organization are outsourcing the clinical trials to develop their products. CROs assist in the successful implementation of clinical trials through the services offered using high-quality facilities and deep subject matter expertise. CROs have begun acting as a backbone of the clinical trial industry through their efficient and cost-effective operations that benefit trial sponsors. According to the blog published on Thermo Fisher Scientific, in 2022, approximately 3 out of 4 clinical trials were carried out by CROs. CROs not only reassure the drug developers’ clinical programs but they also provide a wealth of expertise, drive time and cost efficiencies, and deliver customized, high-quality data. Development of cost-effective solutions and decrease in errors in CROs during drug development process is also driving the growth of the preclinical CROs market.

Rising Biosimilar and Biologics – An Opportunity of Preclinical CROs Market

Biotherapeutics is the fastest growing sector in the pharmaceutical industry. The efficacy and safety of biotherapeutics associated with the ability to treat various untreatable diseases is majorly driving the growth of the biosimilars and biologics. Technological advancement and significant improvement in the understanding of diseases such as cancer, rheumatoid arthritis among others is creating a demand for the development of biosimilars and biologics. Pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies are investing majorly for the research and development activities to develop innovative and advanced biological molecules. Companies are capitalizing on their expertise in biologics manufacturing to generate more revenue by fulfilling the unmet conditions. In recent years, there has been an increase in the biologics license application (BLA). Biologics are large complex molecules, up to 1,000 times the size of small molecule generic drugs. Before a new biopharmaceutical product gets marketed in the US, the FDA must approve an NDA for a new drug or a BLA for a biologic. The steps required before the FDA will approve an NDA or BLA generally includes preclinical studies followed by multiple stages of clinical trials. In order to save the in-house cost and time required for these testing services throughout the development process of the biologics and biosimilars in the initial stages, the companies prefer to outsource these services to the pre-clinical CROs. This is expected to be a potential opportunity for the growth of the pre-clinical CROs across the globe in the coming years.
