The biologics contract research organization market is estimated to be worth $21.5 billion in 2021 and is expected to grow at CAGR of 13% during the forecast period. Given the various advantages of biologics, such as high specificity for their intended molecular targets, ability to treat a myriad of disease indications, and patient friendly toxicity profiles, the demand for such interventions is high. In 2020 alone, more than 20 biopharmaceutical products (including monoclonal antibodies, recombinant proteins and gene therapies) were approved in the US. Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, the biopharmaceutical industry has witnessed considerable growth, with several stakeholders actively engaged in the development of multiple vaccine candidates, some of which have received emergency use authorizations against the novel coronavirus strain. However, it is a well-known fact that the development and clinical evaluation of biologics is both challenging and cost intensive, and requires advanced product development expertise and bioprocessing technologies. Therefore, many innovators in the biopharmaceutical industry are opting to outsource their drug discovery and clinical research operations to capable contract service providers.
Contract research organizations (CROs) have the necessary capabilities and experience to expertly support biopharmaceutical R&D projects. Being well-aware of the nuances of drug design and development, such organizations have long been assisting biologics developers to navigate through process-related complexities and stringent regulatory environments, across different geographies. Several big pharma players, with multifarious product development programs, are increasingly engaging with third party research entities to reduce the strain on their internal R&D infrastructure. In fact, it is estimated that big pharma players presently outsource close to 45% of their internal R&D operations to CROs. In the past few years, several niche CROs, claiming to offer services for the development of specialty biologics, have been established, and are gradually being acquired by larger entities that are trying to consolidate their presence amidst the growing competition in this space. The contract research services segment is considered to be an indispensable part of the overall biopharmaceutical market. As more developers opt to outsource various aspects of their business processes, we anticipate the biopharma cro market to witness a steady market growth during the forecast period.
