Market Forecasts and Industry Dynamics

The global market for contract pharmaceutical manufacturing, research and packaging is estimated to increase from $212.2 billion in 2023 to reach $310.2 billion by 2029, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7% from 2024 through 2029. Contract manufacturers currently play central roles in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Fierce competition, stringent regulations, patent expirations and pressure to reduce drug development and manufacturing costs drive the pharmaceutical outsourcing market. The roles of outsourcing partners have evolved from mere auxiliary support to leaders of innovation. Large bio/pharma companies contribute the majority share of the contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) market due to commercial manufacturing activity. Small biotech companies account for a larger share of the molecule pipeline, incorporating outsourcing into their business models to conserve capital resources and expedite speed to market.

The contract manufacturing services market for contract pharmaceutical manufacturing, research and packaging is estimated to increase from $123.6 billion in 2023 to reach $183.3 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 7% from 2024 through 2029. Strict regulatory environments are making the drug development process an increasingly difficult task. Technological challenges force drug developers to think creatively regarding innovations and business models. The pharmaceutical industry collaborates with different outsourcing providers throughout the research and development cycle of new products to meet these challenges.

The contract research services market for contract pharmaceutical manufacturing, research, and packaging is estimated to increase from $72.4 billion in 2023 to reach $104.1 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 6.3% from 2024 through 2029. The pharmaceutical contract packaging industry is directly related to the demand and sales of pharmaceutical products. The growing pharmaceuticals market, the demand for advanced packaging solutions, the need for specialized packaging equipment and expertise, along with regulatory compliance and cost efficiency drive the pharmaceutical contract manufacturing market. The demand for timely commercial packaging services for low-volume drugs (e.g., niche, orphan products) is also increasing.
