The global biologics contract manufacturing market size is expected to reach USD 57.59 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 10.3% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The global market was growing efficiently during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is due to a rise in R&D activities for the development of COVID-19 vaccines. In addition, there has been an expansion in manufacturing facilities to control the spread of the disease. For instance, in November 2021, Lonza announced that it has decided to expand its microbial development laboratories in Switzerland to support the company’s upcoming projects.
It is believed that post-pandemic there will be numerous fundamental changes. There will be an increase in the production and manufacturing efforts for the development of vaccines and therapeutics against the coronavirus and a rise in digital capabilities across all their operating units. These initiatives will help them in joint planning with pharma clients in building more strategic partnerships. For instance, in January 2022, Lonza launched a technology that will be used for the discovery and design of antibodies that are biospecific and this technology will be called bYlok™. The outsourcing of drugs or biologics manufacturing is rapidly increasing around the world.
Pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies concentrate on their core projects while reducing the operational costs associated with manufacturing drugs or biologics. Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMOs) are specialized and experienced in conducting the entire process of manufacturing. In-house manufacturing of biologics is difficult as it is a complex process and involves many resources. CMOs link the demand and supply gap by focusing on improving the drug discovery process resulting in faster availability of biologics for patients. Hence, due to these factors, outsourcing activities are rapidly increasing.
