Description

The global contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) market size was valued at USD 225.58 Billion in 2024, driven by rising demand for novel drugs and therapies to treat chronic diseases across the globe. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.10% during the forecast period of 2025-2034 to achieve a value of USD 538.95 Billion by 2034.

Global Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) Market Overview

Contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) refers to an organization that partners with pharmaceutical companies to provide drug development and manufacturing services on a contractual basis. CDMO can help these firms outsource the manufacturing of drugs as well as assist in the development activities involved before the manufacturing process. Partnering with a CDMO offers multiple benefits to the pharmaceutical company such as reduced infrastructure costs, expertise from skilled staff, and necessary manufacturing capacity to increase production.

According to the data released by the World Health Organisation (WHO), chronic diseases or non-communicable diseases cause 41 million deaths every year, accounting for 74% of deaths globally. The prevalence of these chronic diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and diabetes , responsible for increasing mortality rates, fuels the need for effective treatment options like novel drugs and therapies. Subsequently, this elevates the contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) market demand as more and more pharmaceutical companies are opting for such services to offer improved and efficient solutions to patients.

Increased Mergers and Acquisitions to Expedite Drug Development and Delivery

Contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs) are increasingly engaging in mergers and acquisitions to keep up with changing customer requirements, which is a significant trend aiding market growth. In June 2023, KBI Biopharma, Inc., a cell line development CDMO, merged with Selexis SA, a global life sciences company, integrating as one organization under the name KBI Biopharma. This merger event will streamline drug development and manufacturing processes, including clinical and cGMP manufacturing services for mammalian programs.

Strategic partnerships can reduce manufacturing risks and accelerate the commercialization process of drugs by employing integrated resources and solutions. In January 2024, Kindeva Drug Delivery (a global CDMO specializing in drug-device combination products), announced the acquisition of Summit Biosciences Inc. (an intranasal drug delivery CDMO in the United States), to enhance its drug delivery capabilities and expand its biopharma customer base. The acquisition aims to offer improved intranasal drug delivery options in the coming years.

Strategic Investments Reinforce Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) Market Growth and Expansion

In July 2023, a leading biopharmaceuticals CDMO, Biovian announced its decision to invest EUR 50 million to facilitate the expansion of its manufacturing unit in Finland. The facility will be constructed in an area of 69,000 sq. ft, harboring advanced technologies to aid the development of Advanced Therapy Medical Products (ATMP), including adeno-associated viral therapies. The investment will help in increasing the production capacity of the company to align with the growing size of the CDMO market.

To meet the rising market demand, CDMOs are rapidly expanding their manufacturing capacities and capabilities to deliver optimal services to their customers at a larger scale. Strategic investments have enabled the leading CDMO players in the market to adapt to the changing landscape in the biopharmaceutical industry.
