Global Radiopharmaceutical CDMO/CMO Services Market Size is valued at USD 2.9 Billion in 2024 and is predicted to reach USD 7.0 Billion by the year 2034 at a 9.2% CAGR during the forecast period for 2025-2034.
Radiopharmaceutical drugs, introduced with radioactive isotopes, are pivotal in both diagnosing and treating medical conditions. These compounds emit detectable radiation, helping in the visualization of specific organs or tissues through techniques like scintigraphy.
Radiopharmaceutical CDMO/CMO services offer specialized outsourcing solutions for the development and manufacturing of these drugs, ensuring regulatory compliance and expertise from drug initiation to commercialization.
These services are integral in optimizing the manufacturing process and providing regulatory guidance, enabling pharmaceutical companies to focus on core objectives like drug development. With a growing emphasis on early-stage clinical support, the integration of CRO and CMO capabilities into a unified CDMO model has become prevalent. Selecting the right CDMO or CMO is crucial for comprehensive support throughout the drug development and manufacturing journey, including early-phase research and beyond.
The rise in chronic diseases like cancer and cardiovascular disorders is fueling the demand for radiopharmaceuticals, essential for diagnostic imaging and therapy. This demand pushes pharmaceutical companies to outsource complex manufacturing to CDMOs to cut costs, accelerate product launches, and meet growing needs effectively. Additionally, research advancements and the trend toward personalized medicine are driving the exponential growth of the Radiopharmaceutical CDMO market.
