The global small molecule innovator API CDMO market size is expected to reach USD 47.14 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.53% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. A growing outsourcing trend among pharmaceutical companies, increasing demand for small molecule drugs, and a surge in the number of clinical trials are anticipated to influence the market positively. The growing utilization of CDMOs in the pharmaceutical sector stems from various reasons, with cost-effectiveness as the prominent factor. Outsourcing emerges as an efficient strategy for pharmaceutical firms to reduce expenses by sidestepping the necessity for costly infrastructure and equipment investments. CDMOs offer the requisite expertise and infrastructure to deliver drug development and manufacturing services in a financially prudent manner.
Furthermore, enhanced efficiency serves as another pivotal driver for pharmaceutical outsourcing. With mounting pressure on pharmaceutical companies to expedite the introduction of new drugs to the market, outsourcing emerges as a solution to accelerate the drug development process. Leveraging their expertise, experience, and cutting-edge equipment, CDMOs facilitate the swift & efficient production of high-quality drugs, enabling pharmaceutical firms to adhere to their development schedules. In addition, several pharmaceutical companies prefer CDMOs to access advanced infrastructure and expertise due to the increasing influx of novel therapies & orphan drugs and higher returns on approved products. Moreover, continuous technological advancements among CDMOs offer innovative small molecule APIs to meet the growing demands for innovation, efficiency, and regulatory compliance in the healthcare industry.
The adoption of advanced technologies by companies enhances drug development, manufacturing processes, and productivity. The increasing demand for new small molecule innovator API in the pharmaceutical industry is encouraging commercial CDMOs to expand their capabilities, which is expected to boost market growth. For instance, in August 2023, Astex announced a research collaboration & license agreement with MSD to classify small molecule candidates with tumor suppressor proteins for cancer treatment. Under the agreement, the company will use its fragment-based drug discovery platform to develop compounds and provide MSD with main compounds for preclinical development & optimization.
