The biopharmaceutical contract manufacturing market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 10% during 2022-2035

London

Roots Analysis has announced the addition of the “Biopharmaceutical Contract Manufacturing Market, 2022–2035” report to its list of offerings.

In pursuit of both time and cost savings, as well as to access higher scales of production, outsourcing has emerged as a lucrative option for biologic drug developers. Driven by several blockbuster products, a burgeoning pipeline of biologic drugs, the demand for reliable contract service providers, which have the required expertise and advanced manufacturing capabilities, is expected to grow at a commendable pace in the coming years. Currently over 275 companies claim to be biopharma CDMO / biopharma CMO, in compliance with the regulatory standards. It is also worth highlighting that biopharmaceutical contract manufacturers are actively trying to consolidate their presence in this field by entering into strategic alliances in order to meet the indubitably rising demand for biologics. In 2021, a sum of over USD 70 billion was invested in the cell and gene therapy domain. However, biologics manufacturing is fraught with various challenges.
