The global veterinary CRO and CDMO market size is expected to reach USD 11.42 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 8.94% over the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is driven by several factors, including the growing number of expert contract research & manufacturing organizations in developing countries, rising adoption of outsourcing services in key stages of veterinary product developments, increasing animal healthcare investments by major players, and growing demand for novel therapeutic products. In addition, the rising adoption of companion animals and growing demand for animal-derived food products are increasing the need for the mass production of medicines.
Therefore, employing the network of third-party Contract Development & Manufacturing Organizations (CDMO) and Contract Research Organizations (CRO) favors the production scale on time with reduced financial risk. The COVID-19 pandemic caused the market downturn, especially during the year 2020. The primary challenges experienced by the majority of contract outsourcing organizations were enormous resource allocation shifts from non-covid to covid medicines (targeting human applications), supply shortages of veterinary raw materials & APIs, transportation & logistics disruption, and the need for more transparency with the vendors. In addition, other difficulties, such as establishing interruption-free, timely, and reliable supply chains, have added more complexity to outsourcing organizations in developing or manufacturing veterinary products.
However, the market growth quickly recovered the following year with significant measures implemented by key players and contract organizations. While it created numerous challenges, the pandemic also set new trends, such as increased ownership rates of companion animals and pet humanization, coupled with improved animal care expenditure and widened R&D activities in the context of global awareness of prognostic and diagnostic measures. According to the American Pet Products Association, pet care expenditure in the U.S. increased from USD 90.5 billion in 2018 to 123.6 billion in 2021. These factors are anticipated to support the employment of contract research, development, and manufacturing organizations by key players in the long run.
