Key Industry Insights & Findings from the Report:
Vaccine contract manufacturing plays a vital role in the pharmaceutical industry, contributing to the efficient and scalable production of vaccines to address various health challenges worldwide. With the expanding efforts in global vaccine distribution, the ability to manage various facets of vaccine manufacturing and logistics positions Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMOs) to play an important role in ensuring fair access to vaccines worldwide. Consequently, diversifying services becomes a strategic manoeuvre that not only enhances the market presence of CMOs but also contributes to addressing global health challenges. Additionally, advancements in vaccine technology, driven by innovations such as genetic engineering, vaccine delivery technology, and proteomics, continue to shape the industry's dynamic landscape.
Moreover, the increasing implementation of strategic initiatives by key industry players, including activities such as business expansion, partnerships, and acquisitions, also reinforces the projected market growth. The rising global demand for vaccine contract manufacturing is set to propel market expansion.
The global market of vaccine contract manufacturing is segmented on the basis of Vaccine Type, Type of Expression System, Workflow, and Application. The vaccine Type segment is categorised into Attenuated, Inactivated, Subunit-based, Toxoid-based, and DNA-based. By Type of Expression System, the market is segmented into Avian Expression Systems, Bacterial Expression Systems, Embryonated Chicken Eggs and Primary Chicken Embryonic Fibroblasts (CEFs), Insect Expression Systems, Mammalian Expression Systems, Plant Expression Systems, and Yeast Expression Systems. The Workflow segment consists of Downstream and Upstream. As per the Application segment, the market is divided into Human Use and Veterinary.
Inactivated vaccinations consist of whole bacteria or viruses rendered non-viable or altered to prevent reproduction. Due to the absence of live bacteria or viruses, these vaccines are incapable of transmitting the diseases they are designed to protect against, even in individuals with severely weakened immune systems. This characteristic represents a significant benefit of this vaccine category.
The mammalian category is expected to hold a major share of the global Vaccine Contract Manufacturing market in 2024. The increasing prominence of mammalian cell culture technology has become a notable trend in the vaccine contract manufacturing market. Mammalian cell culture is gaining significance as a preferred method for vaccine production due to its ability to replicate complex biological systems and produce a wide range of proteins. This technology offers advantages such as enhanced yield, scalability, and the ability to produce more complex and effective vaccines. As a result, the rising utilization of mammalian cell culture in vaccine contract manufacturing is shaping the landscape of the market, contributing to its growth and innovation. This trend underscores the industry's ongoing efforts to improve vaccine manufacturing processes and meet the growing demand for safe and effective vaccines.
In recent years, the human-use category has dominated the market with the highest share. The extensive immunization coverage against various diseases in humans has resulted in this sector gaining the leading position in the market.
The North America Vaccine Contract Manufacturing market is expected to register the highest market share. Advantages include a well-established biotechnology and pharmaceutical sectors, a sizable population, and a strong emphasis on healthcare that drives up vaccine demand. The area is a desirable location for contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs) due to its advanced manufacturing infrastructure, highly qualified labour, and well-established regulatory frameworks. Leading vaccine developers and government programs to support vaccine production reinforce North America's leading position in the market and establish it as a main driver of the sector's expansion. In addition, Asia Pacific is estimated to grow at a rapid rate in the global Vaccine Contract Manufacturing market.
The area gains from having highly qualified labourers and sophisticated manufacturing resources. Furthermore, it is a desirable location for vaccine contract manufacturing due to its favourable regulatory conditions and lower labour costs. Hence, Asia-Pacific continues to play a significant role in expanding the global vaccine contract manufacturing market.
