How is the role of Contract Development and Manufacturing Organizations (CDMOs) changing?

The bioprocessing technology market is increasingly driven by CDMOs who act as centers of excellence for new manufacturing methods. Pharma companies are no longer just outsourcing for capacity; they are outsourcing to gain access to proprietary expression systems, high-titer cell lines, and advanced purification platforms that would be too costly to develop in-house.

What are the primary Bioprocess Outsourcing Trends for 2024?

Current Bioprocess Outsourcing Trends show a move toward "Hybrid Partnerships" where pharma companies and CDMOs co-invest in new facility construction. In 2024, the focus is on regionalizing manufacturing—building capacity in emerging markets to avoid the supply chain disruptions seen in previous years and to satisfy local content requirements.

How will the CDMO landscape look in 2025?

By 2025, CDMOs will transition from "service providers" to "technology platforms." We expect to see the rise of "Ready-to-Use" manufacturing suites that can be reserved via digital marketplaces. These suites will come pre-equipped with standardized bioprocess stacks, allowing startups to move from the lab to clinical manufacturing in record time.

2025 Outlook

The 2025 outlook predicts that the top 5 CDMOs will control over 60% of the advanced bioprocess technology market. For smaller players, the strategy will be niche specialization—focusing on difficult-to-produce molecules like bispecific antibodies or mRNA-based therapeutics.
