Global Biotechnology Contract Manufacturing Market Size is valued at USD 20.5 Bn in 2024 and is predicted to reach USD 46.6 Bn by the year 2034 at a 8.7% CAGR during the forecast period for 2025-2034.
Key Industry Insights & Findings from the Report:
A company called a contract manufacturing organization (CMO) is one that contracts out specialized services like drug manufacturing and manufacturing to other businesses in the biopharmaceutical sector. Biotechnology contract manufacturing plays a vital role in the biopharmaceutical industry, allowing companies to focus on research, development, and commercialization while relying on specialized partners for efficient and compliant manufacturing processes. This collaboration helps bring innovative biotech products to market, benefitting both the biotech firms and patients needing advanced therapies.
The increasing demand for biologics & biosimilars, the growing outsourcing of biologics manufacturing by biopharmaceutical companies, the increasing emphasis on personalized medicine, the expansion of partnerships between pharmaceutical companies and biologics contract manufacturers, and technological developments in the manufacturing industry all contribute to the market's growth.
Additionally, the market for biotechnology contract manufacturing will see growth due to the increase in demand for cell and gene therapies and the expansion of CMOs' biologics production capabilities. However, because of the loss of strategic control and the lack of management monitoring, large companies view outsourcing as risky. As a result, big pharmaceutical corporations choose to keep their manufacturing processes internal. This is anticipated to provide certain growth-related challenges for biotechnology contract manufacturing.
The Biotechnology Contract Manufacturing Market is segmented on the basis of service, type, scale of operation, source, molecule, and therapeutic area. Based on the service, the market is segmented as Manufacturing, Formulation and Fill-Finish, Packaging and Labeling and Other services. Based on type, the market is segmented into Biologic Drug Substance Manufacturing and Biologic Drug Product Manufacturing.
By Scale of Operation, the market is divided into Commercial Operations and Clinical Operations. As per the source, the market is categorized into Mammalian Expression Systems and Non-Mammalian Expression Systems. By Molecule, the market is segmented into Monoclonal Antibodies, Cell Therapy & Gene Therapy, Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs), Vaccines, Therapeutic Peptides & Proteins and Other Molecule Types. On the basis of therapeutic area, the market is categorized into Oncology, Autoimmune Diseases, Cardiovascular Diseases, Metabolic Diseases, Infectious Diseases, Neurology and Other Therapeutic Areas.
The vaccine category commands a sizeable market share in the biotechnology contract manufacturing market. As monoclonal antibody therapy continues to advance, it is predicted to exhibit a similar pattern over the forecast period. The COVID-19 pandemic showed the manufacturing and outsourcing of vaccines had the potential to be a reliable source of income for businesses operating in the industry under investigation. After the COVID-19 vaccination, the addition of boosters is anticipated to make a favourable environment for the expansion of CMO vendors. The market growth under study is further aided by global campaigns by numerous governments and health organizations to offer immunizations to everyone.
The mammalian expression systems segment is projected to grow rapidly in the global biotechnology contract manufacturing market. Market growth is anticipated to be pushed by the extensive research being done on the use of different sources and species for biopharmaceutical development. Enhancing the productivity and efficiency of the biopharmaceutical manufacturing process is the fundamental goal of these investigations. Because of the higher cost involved in getting goods from these sources, mammalian-based biomanufacturing contributed to a higher revenue share.
The Asia Pacific biotechnology contract manufacturing market is expected to record the maximum market share in revenue. The development of the biotechnology contract manufacturing market in the Asia Pacific is attributed to the region's robust pharmaceutical and biotech industries, the presence of a well-established pharmaceutical industry, the rising demand for biologics and biosimilars, and the increasing outsourcing of manufacturing services by pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical firms.

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:
The paid sources for secondary research like Factiva, OneSource, Hoovers, and Statista
Primary Research:
Primary research involves telephonic interviews, e-mail interactions, as well as face-to-face interviews for each market, category, segment, and subsegment across geographies
The contributors who typically take part in such a course include, but are not limited to:
Data Modeling and Analysis:
In the iterative process (mentioned above), data models received inputs from primary as well as secondary sources. But analysts working on these models were the key. They used their extensive knowledge and experience about industry and topic to make changes and fine-tuning these models as per the product/service under study.
The standard data models used while studying this market were the top-down and bottom-up approaches and the company shares analysis model. However, other methods were also used along with these – which were specific to the industry and product/service under study.
