The biologics contract development market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The size of the biologics contract development market has expanded significantly in the past few years. The market, which is forecasted to increase from $7.75 billion in 2024 to $8.58 billion in 2025, is set to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.6%. Factors such as the growth of the biologics market, the rise in biopharmaceuticals, the complexity of biologics, patent expirations, and cost efficiency have contributed to the observed growth during the historical period.
The Biologics Contract Development market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Anticipated to experience a swift expansion in the coming years, the forecasted size of the biologics contract development market will rise to $13.19 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.4%.
Various factors responsible for the expected growth within this period involve the advancement of digitalization and data analytics, risk management, as well as the ability to be flexible and scalable, significant investments in research and development, and the rise of precision medicine and personalized therapies. Prominent trends during this forecast period will encompass regenerative medicine, risk mitigation strategies, international collaborations, progression of technologies, and technological integration.
The escalation of chronic illnesses should bolster the progress of the biologics contract development market. An enduring malady needing regular medical intervention, chronic diseases increase the necessity for the creation of unique drugs, including biologics. This results in an expanded biologics contract development market. For instance, government reports from the UK's Office for Health Improvement & Disparities in September 2024 revealed that in the first six months of 2023, chronic lower respiratory diseases accounted for 3,940 excess deaths. This represents a 30% elevation compared to expected figures. Over the full year, this figure surged to 5,363, a cumulative 22% rise. The escalating prevalence of chronic diseases hence stands poised to fuel the expansion of the biologics contract development market.
