Biopharmaceutical Contract Manufacturing Market Overview
As biopharmaceutical contract manufacturing is becoming a major investment area for traditional pharmaceutical companies owing to the enhanced production capabilities at relatively lower prices, the industry is expected to witness positive growth over the coming years. Additionally, factors such as the reduction in overall investment required to bring a new drug product to market and access to expensive technologies are compelling pharmaceutical companies to outsource to contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs) in order to meet their needs and reduce risks. However, market research experts at Infiniti predict that factors such as the rising demand for affordability, the complexity of supply chain operations, quality compliance, and regulatory scrutiny could hinder the market growth of the global biopharmaceutical contract manufacturing industry. As such, players in the biopharmaceutical contract manufacturing industry are in the need to thoroughly monitor market uncertainties and take proactive measures to tackle challenges coming their way.
Top Markets (by global market share): North America and Europe holds the largest share in the biopharmaceutical contract manufacturing market and are expected to retain its dominance for the next five years. The experts at Infiniti Research predict that the Asia-Pacific regions including China, Japan, New Zealand, and South Korea will witness steady growth through 2022.
