Pharmaceutical CDMO Market Dynamics

As the population increases and the number of regional markets entering the global landscape continues to increase, drug companies are feeling pressure to bring drugs to market more rapidly. CDMO outsourcing remains a key strategy for easing the pressures of development. In particular, API manufacturing has kept a firm position as the most outsourced area for drug manufacturers. This has led to healthy growth related with the sector, which is likely to steadily rise, especially over the short term. Pharma companies often need to access specialised manufacturing resources, facilities and capabilities to progress a drug from development through to commercial production. The outsourcing landscape is very fragmented and highly competitive, with a wide range of full service and niche contract development and manufacturing organisations (CDMOs) to choose from, as well as pure play and embedded CDMOs. The embedded CDMO is a unique option within the pharma and biopharma outsourcing space.
