Biopharmaceutical CMO (Contract Manufacturing Organization) is a business that provides manufacturing services, capable of producing small quantities for preclinical research and development, as well as larger quantities required for clinical trials and commercialization. Biopharmaceutical CMOs play a crucial role in reducing overall operational risk and time to market for pharmaceutical products.
The main types of biopharmaceutical CMO products include biologics and biosimilars. Biologics encompass a diverse range of products derived from human, animal, or microbial sources, serving as medications. These substances are produced from living organisms or contain components thereof. Examples of biologic medications include vaccines, blood products, cells, allergens, genes, tissues, and recombinant proteins. Biopharmaceutical CMO products can be sourced from various origins, including mammalian and non-mammalian sources. Biopharmaceutical CMO services cover a spectrum of activities such as manufacturing, fill and finish operations, analytical and quality control studies, and packaging. These services are crucial for pharmaceutical companies looking to outsource certain aspects of their production processes, allowing them to focus on research, development, and commercialization efforts.

An increase in the strength of venture capital investments in the life science sector is expected to fuel the growth of the biopharmaceutical Contract Manufacturing Organization (CMO) market. The life sciences sector includes businesses and organizations involved in research and development related to living organisms. The strength of venture capital investments indicates how effectively a model, test, or system can operate when parameters or assumptions are changed. For example, in May 2024, the Department of Health and Social Care, a UK-based government agency, reported that the core biopharmaceutical sector generated £46.7 billion ($59.32 billion) in revenue in 2021/22, representing 43% of the entire life sciences industry. Additionally, in 2024, AusBiotech, an organization based in Australia, stated that the biotechnology sector reached USD 5.66 billion (AU$8.67 billion) in total revenues by 2021, with a growth rate of 4.4%. This significant investment is anticipated to boost the manufacturing of biopharmaceuticals, contributing to the growth of the biopharmaceutical CMO market.
The increasing burden of chronic diseases is poised to fuel the growth of the biopharmaceutical CMO market. Chronic diseases, characterized by prolonged health conditions requiring ongoing medical management, represent a significant global health challenge. Biopharmaceutical CMOs play a crucial role in addressing chronic diseases by expediting drug development, ensuring cost-effective production, and maintaining high-quality standards. According to the National Library of Medicine, the US population aged 50 and older is projected to increase by 61.11% from 137.25 million in 2020 to 221.13 million in 2050, with the number of individuals with at least one chronic disease estimated to rise by 99.5% from 71.522 million in 2020 to 142.66 million by 2050. This growing burden of chronic diseases is a key driver for the biopharmaceutical CMO market.
Technological advancement emerges as a prominent trend in the biopharmaceutical CMO market. Major companies in this sector are focusing on advancing technologies through research and development, leveraging the Internet of Things (IoT). The IoT involves the application of networked sensors and actuators for monitoring and controlling manufacturing environments. The vast amount of data generated by IoT-enabled systems can be analyzed to enhance production efficiency, automate tasks, and enable adaptable manufacturing. In February 2022, M2Cloud and Thales collaborated to develop an IoT-based LTE monitoring system for biopharmaceutical monitoring. This system facilitates real-time monitoring of freezers, refrigerated warehouses, and delivery boxes, ensuring temperature and position information verification. Technological advancements like these contribute to the safety and efficiency of biopharmaceutical product management, driving growth in the biopharmaceutical CMO market.
Leading companies in the biopharmaceutical CMO market are increasingly pursuing strategic partnerships to create innovative biopharmaceutical products. These collaborations enable biopharmaceutical CMO firms to pool resources and expertise, enhance research and development capabilities, broaden their market presence, and speed up commercialization. This approach ultimately fosters innovation and growth within the biopharmaceutical CMO sector. For example, in May 2024, BioConnection, a contract manufacturing company based in the Netherlands, joined forces with AGC Biologics, a contract development and manufacturing organization in the United States. Through this partnership, they aim to provide a streamlined, all-encompassing solution for biopharmaceutical development and manufacturing, thereby expediting timelines and simplifying processes for drug developers.
In May 2023, WACKER, a chemical company based in Germany, acquired ADL BioPharma for an undisclosed amount.
