Oncology Dominates Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient CDMO Market with 35.5% Revenue Share

Oncology asserts its dominance in the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient CDMO Market, commanding a formidable 35.5% share of the revenue.

In a recent report by Research and Markets, it’s revealed that the field of oncology is spearheading the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) market, commanding an impressive 35.5% revenue share in 2022.

This surge is fueled by an escalating demand for potent APIs, marking a significant trend in the pharmaceutical industry.

Market Overview

The global active pharmaceutical ingredient CDMO market is poised to reach USD 156.3 billion by 2030, showcasing an anticipated Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 6.9% from 2023 to 2030. The key drivers propelling this growth include heightened Pharmaceutical Research and Development (R&D) investments, patent expirations, and an increasing need for generic drugs and biologic innovations driving outsourcing trends.

The pharmaceutical sector’s growing focus on small molecules, coupled with the complexity of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and the imperative to reduce costs, has catalyzed a rapid expansion of outsourcing services. The market landscape, while still fragmented, sees a few companies achieving global reach and scale in the CDMO sector. Notably, many entities are offering comprehensive solutions, acting as integrated sources for APIs and formulations.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted API makers, especially with a surge in demand for medications required to manage critically ill patients. The sudden need for increased production highlighted the importance of adaptability for API CDMOs in maintaining drug supply. This period underscored the varying levels of preparedness among companies to withstand the pressures of quick scale-up.
