The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases is projected to drive the growth of the biologics contract development market in the coming years. Chronic diseases are defined as illnesses lasting a year or longer that require ongoing medical attention. The rise in chronic disease cases is leading to a higher demand for the development of novel drugs, including biologics, thereby promoting the biologics contract development market. For instance, reports from the Office for Health Improvement & Disparities, a UK government body, indicated that in the first half of 2023, there were 3,940 excess deaths due to chronic lower respiratory diseases, representing a 30% increase compared to expected rates. By the end of the year, this figure rose to 5,363, reflecting an overall increase of 22%. Consequently, the growing prevalence of chronic diseases is set to drive the expansion of the biologics contract development market.
The rising investment in biopharmaceuticals is significantly fueling the growth of the biologics contract development market in the future. The increasing demand for biopharmaceuticals, such as monoclonal antibodies, recombinant proteins, and gene therapies, is prompting companies to outsource development activities to meet market needs. For example, a report published in April 2024 by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited (DTTL), a UK-based pharmaceutical company, indicated that total reported R&D spending in the biopharmaceutical sector rose from $139.2 billion in 2022 to $145.5 billion in 2023, representing a 4.5% increase. Therefore, the growing investment in biopharmaceuticals is expected to drive the biologics contract development market.
Technological advancements are reshaping the biologics contract development market, with major players incorporating advanced technologies to maintain their market standing. In January 2022, Lonza introduced the bYlok technology platform, designed to facilitate the design and manufacture of bispecific antibodies. This platform addresses challenges related to light-heavy chain mispairing, ensuring high yields, accuracy exceeding 95%, and compatibility with a monoclonal antibody (mAb)-like format. Technological innovation remains a focal point in sustaining competitiveness within the biologics contract development sector.
Major companies operating in the biologics contract development arena are integrating data analytics into their processes, fostering improved monitoring, analysis, and decision-making. This integration of digital technologies enhances efficiency and productivity in biologics development. In October 2022, Evotec SE launched PanHunter, part of the PanOmics data access and analytics technology, which enables advanced patient population stratification and prediction of efficacy and toxicity profiles. This incorporation of data analytics signifies a strategic move towards leveraging digital tools for enhanced insights in the biologics contract development market.
Strategic acquisitions play a pivotal role in reinforcing companies' positions in the biologics contract development market. In February 2022, Recipharm acquired Vibalogics and Arranta Bio, strengthening its presence in advanced therapy medicinal products and expanding virotherapy manufacturing capabilities in the US. Vibalogics and Arranta Bio, both contract development and manufacturing organizations, were pivotal acquisitions contributing to Recipharm's strategic growth in the biologics contract development sector.
