The North America and Europe pharmaceutical stability & storage services market size is expected to reach USD 3.22 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2023 to 2030. Stringent regulatory requirements, increasing R&D investments, and globalization of clinical trials are some of the major factors driving market growth.
The rising demand for biosimilars is expected to drive market advancement. In recent years, the approval rate for biosimilars has significantly improved. As per the Amgen Biosimilars Trend Report published in 2020, there was an increase in the number of biosimilar approvals by 65% since the preceding year in the U.S. As of 2023, 41 biosimilars were approved in the U.S., and over 70 were approved in the EU. The growing approval of biosimilars is likely to positively impact the market.
The stability of pharmaceuticals plays a crucial role in determining the strength and effectiveness of the medication. However, ensuring stability poses challenges due to varying data requirements and testing regulations imposed by different regulatory bodies, making it particularly difficult to market products in diverse regions. While both the EMA and FDA adhere to the ICH guidelines for stability testing, they maintain distinct microbiological limits for these tests. Consequently, certain evaluations that are optional in the United States become mandatory in the European Union, and vice versa. These disparities complicate stability testing procedures, leading to an increased need for outsourcing such testing services.
Several companies are involved in strategies such as acquisitions, collaborations, and new service launches to gain positions in the market. For instance, in March 2023, BioLife Solutions introduced the Ultraguard -70°C Phase Change Material (PCM) Accessory to offer backup cooling in ULT Freezers and act as a dry ice substitute for benchtop biologic material storage. Moreover, in October 2022, CSafe and BioLife Solutions, Inc. formed a partnership to enhance supply chain solutions for cell and gene therapy. CSafe joined BioLife's global partner network of companies offering cold chain solutions for the cell and gene therapies market.
