To render solid oral drugs more user-friendly, drug sponsors are innovatively transforming drugs into micro or mini tablets and sprinkle capsules. This formulation approach is gaining popularity, especially among the pediatric and geriatric populations. The growing prevalence of chronic and infectious diseases is one of the major factors responsible for the rising demand for novel therapies. Furthermore, the growing geriatric population is contributing to the rising incidence of chronic diseases, further supporting the demand for novel treatment processes.
Adverse drug reactions to existing drugs are also contributing to the demand for novel treatment options. For instance, in July 2022, research published by the University of Liverpool stated that adverse drug reaction-related hospital admissions increased from 6.5% in 2004 to 16.5% in 2019. A rise in the number of cases involving adverse drug reactions to existing therapies is expected to boost the demand for new therapies in the future.
For many biopharmaceutical companies, innovations and speed-to-clinic factors are of critical importance. Small companies and specialty biopharmaceutical players increasingly rely upon delivering these important requirements within the industry. Many CROs and CDMOs promote themselves as one-stop-shop companies. The one-stop-shop service model is where a CRO handles everything from API to dosage form and early development to commercialization. To provide these services, a CDMO must have a wide range of enabling technologies and specialized handling capabilities to address specific problem statements.
Furthermore, increasing undertaking of strategic initiatives by key players is also expected to drive U.S. oral solid dosage (OSD) contract manufacturing market growth. For instance, in January 2023, Catalent and Ethicann collaborated to develop Ethicann’s clinical drug pipeline using Catalent’s orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) technology ‘Zydis’. In another instance, in March 2023, Lonza announced that its new clinical and commercial drug product manufacturing line at its Visp site had become fully operational. The expansion is expected to strengthen the company’s Drug Product Services (DPS) offering.
U.S. Oral Solid Dosage Contract Manufacturing Market Report Highlights
- Based on product type, the tablets segment captured the highest market share in 2022.This is attributed to their widespread use, ease of manufacturing, and strong patient acceptance rate
- The capsule segment is expected to show significant market growth in the coming years. Multiple pharmacological ingredients with various release characteristics can be combined in capsules, thus driving their demand
- Based on the mechanism, the controlled release segment dominated the market in 2022. The controlled release mechanism offers multiple advantages, such as improved efficacy and safety, reduced dosage frequency, and steady blood levels
- Based on the end-user, the large companies segment dominated the market in 2022. Contract manufacturers generally have the capacity to scale production up or down based on requirement fluctuation. This flexibility can be advantageous for large pharma companies that experience varying levels of demand for their OSD products
- Medium- and small-sized companies are expected to advance at a significant growth rate in the coming years. Financial resources are frequently limited for small- and medium-sized companies. Their own manufacturing facilities might be too expensive to build and operate. They can gain cutting-edge production capabilities through contract manufacturing without making a large initial investment
