Sales Analysis of the Global Biologics Contract Manufacturing from 2015 to 2022 Vs Market Outlook for 2023 to 2033

A company that offers comprehensive services from medication development through manufacturing to other businesses in the biopharmaceutical sector is known as biologics contract manufacturing.

To treat serious, life-threatening diseases, top industry companies are concentrating on the development and introduction of next-generation bio therapeutics. The pipeline of biologics supports an expectation for ongoing robust growth. Every year, the number of biotech patent applications has been increasing at a rate of about 23%.

More than 1,500 biomolecules are currently undergoing clinical trials; they are being tested for more than 100 different diseases, and so far, the success rate for biologics has been more than twice that of small-molecule products.

Biopharmaceuticals contract development and manufacturing services are expected to grow with double digit growth rate owing to huge pipeline of biopharmaceutical therapeutics with limited capability of biopharmaceutical developers. In addition, the big pharma companies has limited capacity for biologics production this incapability leads towards outsourcing of biologics production. Strong biologics pipeline to fuel the demand for the biologics contract manufacturing market.

According to the IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics, biologic sales go off-patent by 2020 and will reach over $57 billion yearly.

The top worldwide CDMOs are concentrating on increasing their manufacturing capacity while maintaining high operational speed and flexibility. Modern single-use technologies enable businesses to reduce batch manufacturing and cleaning time.

This trend is expected to provide competitive-edge for the client companies in terms of capacity, low cost, convenience and high operational efficacy. Technological advancements to boost CDMOs capabilities which will increase the demand for biologics.

For instance, in June 2020, Lonza has developed the new innovative platform technology, New GSv9 TM media and feeds maximize yield and batch-to-batch consistency to support recombinant protein production scale-up. This provides a robust culturing platform that can reproducibly generate high-quality, stable proteins.

Leading CDMOs are concentrating on the expansion of their integrated capabilities from molecule to final product in light of improvements in contract solutions offerings. The trend is significant since the developers of biopharmaceutical treatments are increasingly depending on the acceleration of development and speed to market.

Additionally, one-stop contract services provide a great degree of cost, risk, and quality control flexibility in the development of final commercial goods. Rising adoption of single –use (disposable) bioreactor technology with high flexibility and cost effectiveness will grow the market in forecast period.

For instance, Avid Bioservices and Argonaut Manufacturing Services signed a contract in July 2020 to provide integrated process development, drug substance manufacturing, and drug product parenteral manufacturing to biotechnology and pharmaceutical clients in order to hasten the development and commercialization of biopharmaceutical therapeutics.

The global market is thus likely to show high growth over the coming years at a CAGR of 8.6% and reach a global market size of US$ 42.1 Bn by 2033.

What Factors will drive the Market to Grow over Forecast Duration?

“Growth of Novel Biologic and Biosimilar Manufacturing”

The global biopharmaceutical CMO market will also see more consolidation as participants look to inorganic growth strategies to offer integrated solutions to customers. In addition, scientific advancements in the biopharmaceuticals are boosting the opportunities for the technologically advanced CDMOs with potential capabilities.

For instance, In July 2020, Lonza Group AG has acquired a California facility from Shire plc. giving the Lonza drug developer another tool to grow its already lucrative mammalian manufacturing business. The facility is located in the San Francisco Bay Area, the 58,000-square-foot site adds 1,000 liter and 2,000 liter single-use bioreactors to Lonza's arsenal, as well as associated downstream capabilities.

In July 2020, AGC Biologics acquired Molecular Medicine S.p.A., a leading-edge cell & gene therapy company in Italy to add capability of plasmid production and end-to-end cell and gene therapy services. Novel biologic and biosimilar manufacturing present strong growth opportunities.

Focusing on reduction in operating costs through outsourcing of R&D and commercialization of biopharmaceuticals to CMOs/CDMOs could increase operational efficiency. Outsourcing at later stages of clinical development through identification and appointment of a strategic partner could improve efficiencies all along the value chain.

The emerging CDMO business model, transformation in the pharmaceutical ecosystem, disruptive drug development and manufacturing technologies, and major growth opportunities in high potency and biopharmaceuticals manufacturing are driving differentiation strategies for the long-term profitability of CMOs. Adoption of CDMO and CMO business model in terms of product offering and reduction in operational cost

Is there Any Impact on the Growth of the Biologics Contract Manufacturing Market?

“Changing Regulatory Dynamics”

Global regulatory policies, cGMP, and inspection regimes tightening, supply chain security issues across emerging countries have large impact on the cost of final products. The new entrants willing to enter into biopharmaceuticals contract manufacturing are facing financial challenges owing to aforementioned factors. This makes the market entry a costly decision for SMEs. Such changing regulatory dynamics are hampering the growth of biologics contract manufacturing.

In order to develop the economy and advance, the emerging region requires skilled professionals. Many companies have reported a sizable gap between the skilled professionals and the current workforce. Many governments want to promote the development of a mainstream biotech industry, to mirror the U.S. model, but progress has been slow. Inadequate funding, poor planning and a shortage of experienced individuals have hampered growth of the industry in most emerging countries.
