The global pharmaceutical analytical testing outsourcing market size was valued at USD 14.6 billion in 2030 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4% from 2024 to 2030. Increasing biological candidate pipelines, rising demand for additional analytical details on drugs, and process development by regulatory agencies are driving market growth. Analytical testing aids in real-time product quality control as well as help optimize and monitor processes, thereby identifying different drugs. Over the years, the number of clinical trials has increased consistently.
For instance, in 2021, over 399,525 clinical studies were registered on ClinicalTrial.gov, whereas as of June 2022, it had increased to over 421,258 studies. A continuation of this trend is expected to have a positive impact on the market in the post-pandemic period. The majority of small and medium-sized pharma companies lack the infrastructure for analytical testing. As a result, outsourcing these operations is the best option as it saves time and money. The patent cliff, primarily for small molecules and biologics, is likely to have a positive impact on the market as it will increase the number of commercial drugs in the pharma market, thus promoting the analytical testing of commercially available generic drugs.
There has been a rise in several diseases post-COVID-19. For instance, according to a report published by Children’s National Hospital- pediatric research and clinical innovations center, a study was performed on 737 youths who were diagnosed with diabetes, and it found an increased incidence of pediatric Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) by 15.2% and Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) increased by 182% between March 11, 2018, and March 10, 2021. The rise in disease incidence is expected to improve, drug production, which is likely to drive the demand for analytical services for commercial drugs .
