Biologics outsourcing in the pharmaceutical industry involves pharmaceutical companies collaborating with external vendors or contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs) to delegate different aspects of biologic drug development, manufacturing, and supply chain management. This strategic approach is employed for various purposes within the pharmaceutical sector, specifically in relation to the development, manufacturing, and management of biological drugs.
The primary product types associated with biologics outsourcing include antibodies, recombinants, vaccines, proteins, and others. Antibodies are immune system-produced defense proteins, also known as antigens, formed in response to the presence of foreign material. These biologics can be derived from human, microbial, and other sources and find applications in areas such as oncology, cellular and gene therapy, blood and blood-related product development, vaccine development, stem cell research, among others. Biologics outsourcing is utilized by diverse end users, including pharmaceutical industries, biotechnology industries, and contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMO).

The biologics outsourcing market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $20.06 billion in 2024 to $22.7 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing R&D costs, regulatory pressure, demand for specialized expertise, globalization
The biologics outsourcing market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $37.52 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to emerging markets' growth, personalized medicine, strategic alliances, biological drug patent expirations. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in technology, increased outsourcing complexity, biosimilars market expansion, data analytics integration, supply chain resilience.
The biologics outsourcing market is poised for growth, driven by the increasing number of cancer cases. Cancer, a diverse group of illnesses characterized by uncontrolled cell growth, demands specialized expertise and resources for developing biologic therapies such as monoclonal antibodies and immunotherapies. Biologics outsourcing is integral in providing the necessary infrastructure for the development, manufacturing, and clinical supply of these therapies, crucial for diagnosing and treating various cancer types. For instance, the National Center for Biotechnology Information reported 1,958,310 new cancer cases in the United States in January 2023, with a projected 609,820 cancer-related deaths. The prevalence of cancer is expected to escalate to 29.5 million new cases and 16.4 million deaths by 2040, emphasizing the role of biologics outsourcing in addressing the growing challenges posed by cancer.
The biologics outsourcing market is anticipated to be supported by the rise in chronic diseases and disabilities. Chronic conditions necessitate ongoing medical attention, and biologics prove effective in managing such complex health issues. Pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are increasingly turning to outsourcing for specialized expertise in developing targeted treatments. The National Library of Medicine estimates a 99.5% increase in people aged 50 and older with at least one chronic illness, reaching 142.66 million in 2050. Additionally, the number of individuals with multimorbidity is projected to rise by 91.16% to 14.968 million in 2050. This surge in chronic diseases underscores the significance of biologics outsourcing in meeting the demands of intricate medical conditions.
A notable trend in the biologics outsourcing market is the emphasis on developments in biologics. Major companies are leveraging new technologies to sustain their market positions. For instance, Abzena, Alira Health, and Oncodesign launched DRIVE-Biologics, a consortium dedicated to biologic drug discovery and development programs. This collaborative effort streamlines information sharing and program deliverables, minimizing risks associated with biologics development. The partnership covers all stages, from biological discovery to clinical and commercial manufacturing, reflecting the commitment to advancing the field of biologics.
Companies in the biologics outsourcing market are focusing on establishing new Contract Development and Manufacturing Organizations (CDMOs) to maintain their market presence. Tanvex BioPharma USA Inc. introduced Tanvex CDMO in October 2023, offering end-to-end services for the development and manufacturing of biologics. Located in San Diego's biotech hub, Tanvex CDMO features state-of-the-art facilities, including R&D centers, GMP manufacturing suites, QC laboratories, and a GMP warehouse. With a proven track record, Tanvex CDMO aims to support early-stage companies in advancing biologics from conceptualization to commercialization.
In June 2022, Asahi Kasei Medical acquired Bionova Scientific LLC, expanding its bioprocess business to include biopharmaceutical contract development and manufacturing. Bionova Scientific LLC, a biologics CDMO, enhances Asahi Kasei Medical's capabilities in biologic drug development, manufacturing, and supply chain management, contributing to the broader landscape of biologics outsourcing.
