Vaccine Contract Manufacturing Market Report by Vaccine Type (Attenuated, Inactivated, Subunit-based, Toxoid-based, DNA-based), Workflow (Downstream, Upstream), Application (Human Use, Veterinary), and Region 2024-2032


The global vaccine contract manufacturing market size reached US$ 2.8 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 6.1 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8% during 2024-2032.

Vaccine contract manufacturing refers to the outsourcing of large-scale production of vaccines to contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs). These organizations offer numerous services, including pre-formulation work, formulation development, method development, stability studies, pre-clinical activities, registration batches and commercial manufacturing. Apart from this, they provide expertise and innovative technologies to expand the production chain of pharmaceutical companies. At present, the demand for outsourcing vaccine manufacturing activities is escalating worldwide on account of reduced development costs and complex production protocols.

Vaccination plays a pivotal role in improving human as well as veterinary health. It reduces the need for antibiotics and prevents diseases. The increasing awareness about vaccination and numerous associated benefits, such as protection from severe illnesses and infectious diseases, is catalyzing the demand for immunization programs and inoculations. This, in confluence with understanding the complexity of capital requirement for production, has led the leading pharmaceutical companies to outsource vaccine manufacturing. Apart from this, the lack of equipment and skilled labor for vaccine production in low-resource countries is also contributing to the global vaccine contract manufacturing market growth. Moreover, technological advancements, including the introduction of expression systems like the EB66 and GPEx and cell culture media platforms, are supporting the market growth. Furthermore, the alarmingly growing cases of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in numerous countries have propelled the vaccine developers to sign outsourcing agreements with CMOs. This is creating a favorable outlook for the growth of the market.
