Orphan Drugs CDMO Market Size is predicted to witness a 10.9% CAGR during the forecast period for 2023-2031.
Orphan drugs, also known as orphan medicines or orphan therapies, are pharmaceuticals designed to treat rare medical illnesses known as orphan diseases. These disorders often impact a small proportion of the population, making them commercially undesirable for drug companies to research and market in the absence of additional incentives. Several important drivers have influenced the Orphan Drugs CDMO (Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization) market, contributing to its growth and relevance in the pharmaceutical sector. Orphan medications are in high demand due to increased awareness and diagnosis of rare diseases. As more uncommon diseases are discovered and characterized, the demand for specialized CDMOs to support their development and manufacture grows.
However, the COVID-19 pandemic substantially impacted numerous sectors of the pharmaceutical business, particularly the CDMO (Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization) market for orphan drugs. The COVID-19 pandemic had a greater impact on specific pharmaceutical markets due to the deferral of non-life-threatening disease diagnosis and treatment. This was especially true for people suffering from uncommon diseases since various governments concentrated more financial and healthcare resources towards combating the pandemic.
