Furthermore, growing generics market and emergence of biopharmaceuticals have prompted biopharma companies to rely on contract manufacturing organizations for their large-scale commercial manufacturing needs. However, pricing pressure faced by CMOs due to intensifying competition and regulatory challenges associated with manufacturing cell and gene therapies can hamper the market growth during the forecast period.

Market Driver: Rising Prevalence of Chronic Diseases

Rising prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases can drive the market growth. These diseases often require prolonged treatment therapies and complex medical procedures. According to WHO data, chronic diseases are responsible for over 70% of global deaths each year. The increasing number of patients dealing with complex chronic conditions has put substantial strain on healthcare systems worldwide. Pharmaceutical companies are facing escalating R&D costs for creating advanced therapies. To address this, they are outsourcing non-core functions such as clinical trials, manufacturing, and logistics to specialized Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMOs). This strategy allows drug makers to concentrate on their core competencies, thereby driving up the demand for CMO services.
