Diagnostic contract manufacturing pertains to the practice of diagnostic companies outsourcing manufacturing processes and services to specialized contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs) or contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs). This strategic move aims to streamline production, ensure compliance with quality standards, and improve cost efficiency for diagnostic companies.
The primary categories of services within diagnostic contract manufacturing encompass device development and manufacturing services, quality management services, packaging and assembly services, among others. Device development and manufacturing services encompass the design, development, and production of medical devices, including in vitro diagnostic devices and diagnostic imaging devices. These services find application in various sectors such as in-vitro diagnostic devices, diagnostic imaging devices, among others, and are utilized by end users such as medical device companies, pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies, among others.

This diagnostic contract manufacturing market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The diagnostic contract manufacturing market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $31.29 billion in 2024 to $35.91 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing demand for outsourcing, cost efficiency achieved through outsourcing manufacturing, increasing regulatory requirements for quality and compliance in the diagnostic industry, shortened product lifecycles in the diagnostic market necessitated flexible manufacturing solutions, and globalization of diagnostic companies' operations and supply chains increasing.
The diagnostic contract manufacturing market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $61.46 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for personalized diagnostic tests and companion diagnostics, expansion of point-of-care testing and decentralized diagnostic platforms, tightening regulatory requirements for diagnostic products, increase in outsourcing of specialty testing, such as molecular diagnostics and immunoassays, and shift towards flexible manufacturing. Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of automation and robotics in diagnostic manufacturing processes, utilization of 3D printing technologies for rapid prototyping and customization of diagnostic devices, integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and data analytics into diagnostic manufacturing processes, and implementation of digital twin technology to simulate and optimize manufacturing processes in the virtual environment before physical implementation.
An increasing emphasis on preventive healthcare is expected to drive the growth of the diagnostic contract manufacturing market in the coming years. Preventive healthcare involves measures aimed at preventing the onset or progression of diseases, illnesses, or injuries. The growing focus on preventive healthcare is driven by factors such as rising healthcare costs, changing healthcare priorities, an increase in chronic diseases, and an aging population. Diagnostic contract manufacturing plays a crucial role in supporting preventive healthcare by providing essential diagnostic tools and tests, offering customized solutions, ensuring quality and regulatory compliance, supporting scalability, and delivering cost-effective solutions for disease prevention and early intervention. For example, in March 2022, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, a U.S.-based Department of Health and Human Services agency, predicted that national health spending would increase by an average of 5.1% annually from 2021 to 2030, reaching approximately $6.8 trillion by 2030, according to the 2021-2030 National Health Expenditure (NHE) report. Therefore, the growing focus on preventive healthcare is fueling the growth of the diagnostic contract manufacturing market.
Key players in the diagnostic contract manufacturing sector are embracing strategic partnerships to bolster the production of diagnostic equipment and gain competitive advantages. Strategic partnerships entail collaborative endeavors between multiple organizations pooling their resources, expertise, and efforts to achieve shared objectives. For instance, Highfield Diagnostics Ltd., a UK-based diagnostics company, partnered with SCIENION GmbH, a Germany-based bio convergence company specializing in diagnostic contract manufacturing services, to develop and deploy equipment for mass manufacturing lateral flow tests (LFTs) incorporating HDx's flowDx technology. This collaboration leverages SCIENION's manufacturing capabilities to finalize equipment designs and manufacturing processes for the cost-effective and high-throughput production of flowDx-enabled LFTs. flowDx technology, developed over seven years of academic research, facilitates precise control of fluidic flows in LFTs, enabling parallel multiplexing, improved accuracy, and semi-quantitative results.
In August 2023, RQM Ltd., a US-based MedTech service provider, acquired Kottmann GmbH, aiming to enhance operational efficiency, expedite client market entry, and strengthen its position as a leading MedTech contract research organization (CRO) in Europe and globally. Kottmann GmbH, based in Germany, specializes in conducting clinical studies involving medical devices, in vitro diagnostics (IVDs), and pharmaceuticals.
