Additionally, it is projected that autoimmune illnesses, which are on the rise, will increase the need for growth factors.

Can the Growth of the Market be affected in Any Way?

“High Cost and Shortage of High Skilled Professionals

The limited demand for growth factors is mostly a result of high costs and a shortage of professionals with the necessary skills. Researchers in the field of life sciences who have increasingly demanding requirements have driven the development of novel, expensive items.

The majority of researchers prefer to invest in less expensive products rather than expensive ones because of the uncertainty surrounding the results anticipated from sophisticated research operations, especially for research organisations with insufficient resources. Some growth factors are quite expensive, which is a constraint for most laboratories. Thus, the employment of growth factors in laboratory research is constrained by their high cost.

Another problem is the shortage of qualified professionals engaged in research and development. Low pay, inadequate laboratory training, and challenging tasks are the main contributors to the shortage of skilled experts. Managing research and development based on cell culture, growth factors, and biologics requires knowledgeable personnel.

As a result, the utilisation of the growth factors might be negatively impacted by a lack of qualified specialists and equipment and other accessories related to research laboratories, which in turn hampers the market's expansion.

Why Does Non-GMP Production Witness Higher Demand in the Global Market?

In 2023, non-GMP commands the market in terms of grade with a share of 70.8% within the global market.

There are situations when data or pharmaceutical products are developed for use during laboratory or formulation operations that are not required to support a GMP activity hence, the use of non-GMP is more than GMP.

Non-GMP development services gives more speed and freedom. Producers may effectively execute non-GMP work then transition quickly to GMP manufacture by purposefully establishing good integration of all technologies in both the non-GMP and GMP facilities. In general, this integrated method reduces risks in the clinical manufacturing activities while also accelerating the total project timetable for the clinic.

Understanding how the demand for raw materials and registered starting materials (RSMs) changes and expands throughout the course of the development cycle is essential for developing a plan for their supply.

It can be challenging to locate feasible sources of regulatory starting materials (RSMs) and raw materials that are not produced under good manufacturing practises (GMP), hence non-GMP is frequently used.
