Global Advanced Drug Delivery CDMO Market Size is predicted to show a 5.0% CAGR during the forecast period for 2025-2034.

The pharmaceutical sector greatly benefits from a Contract Development and Manufacturing Organisation (CDMO) specialising in cutting-edge drug delivery technologies. These CDMOs offer services for creating, formulating, and developing drug delivery systems beyond conventional oral tablets or capsules. Modern medication delivery systems have arisen as a quick and precise way to get the drug to the right place. These systems have several advantages over conventional systems, including the focused and regulated delivery of novel molecules to target areas, consistent drug absorption, reduced frequency of dosing, decreased production of hazardous metabolites, and lower variability in systemic drug concentrations.

Advanced Drug Delivery CDMO Marke

The need for advanced drug delivery CDMOs has increased as a result of improved drug performance and superior results brought about by advanced drug delivery systems. However, the Advanced Drug Delivery Contract Development and Manufacturing Organisation (CDMO) market was significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which had a wide-ranging effect on the sector. The pandemic affected the availability of raw materials and parts needed for medicine delivery systems by upsetting global supply chains. For several CDMOs, this resulted in manufacturing difficulties and delivery delays.

The Segment, Analytical and Testing Services, Accounted As A Major Contributor In The Advanced Drug Delivery CDMO Market. 

The analytical and testing services category is expected to hold a major share in the global Advanced Drug Delivery CDMO Market in 2025. Advanced drug delivery technologies such as liposomes, nanoparticles, implants, and long-acting injectables require sophisticated testing to ensure their performance, safety, and stability. These systems often exhibit complex release profiles, encapsulation efficiencies, and bioavailability parameters that must be validated using high-precision analytical methods. Analytical services are essential at every stage of the drug development lifecycle, from preformulation and clinical trials to regulatory submission and post-marketing surveillance. As a result, the Analytical and Testing Services segment holds the largest share in the advanced drug delivery CDMO market, as it plays a critical role in ensuring the quality, safety, regulatory compliance, and functional performance of increasingly complex drug delivery systems.

In The Region, The North American Advanced Drug Delivery CDMO Market Holds A Significant Revenue Share.

The North America Advanced Drug Delivery CDMO Market is expected to record the maximum market share in terms of revenue in the near future. The region's long-standing CDMO presence distinguishes the market in North America. The region is heavily invested in researching and developing biological medications, gene treatments, and other specialized pharmaceuticals. These complex compounds frequently necessitate specialized drug delivery devices, which drives demand for CDMO services. Along with this element, expanding partnerships between pharmaceutical firms and CDMOs providing a wide range of services are to blame for the region's leading market share globally. Due to the region's highly qualified workforce and low manufacturing and R&D costs, the Asia Pacific market is estimated to grow significantly over the course of the forecast period.

Recent Developments:

  • In July 2023, SHL Medical said it had bought LCA Automation AG, a Swiss company that makes innovative automation solutions. The purchase was SHL Medical's answer to the growing need for drug delivery options in the market. It also helped its manufacturing operations around the world, especially the new factory that will open in Zug, Switzerland. 
  • In March 2023, Evonik has solidified its prominent position in drug delivery for RNA treatments by initiating the construction process for a new pharmaceutical lipids plant in the United States. The newly established facility was anticipated to ensure the industry's uninterrupted availability of essential excipients required for mRNA vaccines and other nucleic acid therapeutics. The commencement of plant operations was planned for the year 2025.

InsightAce Analytic follows a standard and comprehensive market research methodology focused on offering the most accurate and precise market insights. The methods followed for all our market research studies include three significant steps – primary research, secondary research, and data modeling and analysis - to derive the current market size and forecast it over the forecast period. In this study, these three steps were used iteratively to generate valid data points (minimum deviation), which were cross-validated through multiple approaches mentioned below in the data modeling section.

Through secondary research methods, information on the market under study, its peer, and the parent market was collected. This information was then entered into data models. The resulted data points and insights were then validated by primary participants.

Based on additional insights from these primary participants, more directional efforts were put into doing secondary research and optimize data models. This process was repeated till all data models used in the study produced similar results (with minimum deviation). This way, this iterative process was able to generate the most accurate market numbers and qualitative insights.

Secondary research

The secondary research sources that are typically mentioned to include, but are not limited to:

  • Company websites, financial reports, annual reports, investor presentations, broker reports, and SEC filings.
