The global small molecule innovator CDMO market size is expected to reach USD 74.9 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 6.21% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. There is a growing interest among pharmaceutical companies in outsourcing to support core competencies such as sales, marketing, and others, due to associated cost savings. Furthermore, outsourcing enables companies to further progress core competencies such as drug development and manufacturing activities. Hence, expansions by small molecule CDMOs in recent years promise major support for the market growth in the upcoming years.
Small molecules continue to play an important role in the development of new treatments globally. Specialty medicines are increasingly driving global pharmaceutical manufacturing growth, particularly in developed markets with small molecule application accounting for over half of specialty sales. The application of small molecules are becoming increasingly complex.
The majority of solutions in the regulatory approval pipeline are made up of poorly soluble compounds that would require enabling technology to progress to clinical trials and beyond. As therapy targets and focus areas become more specific, creating target product profiles has become increasingly difficult. Failure to achieve appropriate bioavailability is an additional stumbling block in the development of many new chemical entities. These factors are expected to support the overall market growth.
The geriatric population is expected to witness a surge in the coming years. For instance, the WHO estimates that there will be more than 2 billion people aged 60 and over by 2050. This would create a lot of opportunities for the development of new small-molecule drugs, which is expected to support the market growth in the post-pandemic period.
