North America Pharmaceutical Contract Development and Manufacturing Market
North America Pharmaceutical Contract Development and Manufacturing Market by Service {Manufacturing [API, FDF (Parenteral, Tablet, Capsule, Oral Liquid)], Drug Development, Biologics Manufacturing, Packaging}, End User [Large Pharma] - Forecast to 2032
Report ID:MRHC - 1041066 Pages: 150 Jul-2024 Formats*: PDF Category: Healthcare Delivery: 24 to 72 HoursThe North America Pharmaceutical Contract Development and Manufacturing Market is expected to reach $105.42 billion by 2032 at a CAGR of 7.1% from 2025 to 2032. Pharmaceutical contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs) partner with pharmaceutical companies and offer contract-based manufacturing and drug development services. CDMOs handle everything from pre-formulation and formulation development to clinical trials and manufacturing. Pharmaceutical companies opt for CDMOs because of the benefits such as reduced labor, cost, high product quality, faster time, and resource savings.
The growth of the North America pharmaceutical contract development and manufacturing market is attributed to the complex manufacturing requirements of the pharmaceutical industry, manufacturers’ growing inclination towards the use of cutting-edge technologies, patent expiration, increasing investments in pharmaceutical R&D, and the rising demand for generic medicines & biologics. However, the lack of skilled professionals is challenging the growth of this market. In addition, growing consolidation among CDMO market players and virtual business models are the industry trends in the market.
Growing Demand for Cell Therapies, Personalized Medicine, and Gene Therapies is Providing Opportunity for Market Growth
Next-generation medicines, such as cell and gene therapy, provide significant opportunities for growth in CRO and CDMO marketplaces. Gene therapy alters the genes to cure disease or improve the body's ability to fight disease. Also, cell therapy is a therapy in which viable cells are injected, grafted, or implanted into a patient to effectuate a medicinal effect. Potential applications of cell therapies include treating cancers, autoimmune diseases, urinary problems, and infectious diseases, rebuilding damaged cartilage in joints, repairing spinal cord injuries, improving a weakened immune system, and helping patients with neurological disorders.
As of 2025, there are 32 cell or gene therapy products approved in the U.S. for cancer, eye diseases, and rare hereditary diseases. Also, many therapies are in pre-clinical stages and are expected to enter the clinical trials pipeline. Gene therapies under development are designed to address defects in the genetic code, which cause a wide range of diseases.
A shortage of manufacturing capacity poses a massive hurdle to growth in the cell and gene therapy marketplace; therefore, major firms outsource their cell or gene therapy process development, providing lucrative opportunities for the growth of the pharmaceutical contract development and manufacturing market.

Complex Manufacturing Requirements of the Pharmaceutical Industry is Driving the Demand for Pharmaceutical Contract Development and Manufacturing Organizations
The pharmaceutical industry is largely driven by scientific discovery, development, and toxicological and clinical experience. Pharmaceutical manufacturing operations may be categorized as primary production of bulk drug substances (APIs) and manufacturing of dosage form products (formulations).
In addition to the complexity of the pharmaceutical manufacturing process, many countries globally have specific legal protections for proprietary drugs and manufacturing processes, known as intellectual property rights. When legal protections are limited or nonexistent, some companies specialize in manufacturing and marketing generic drugs. The pharmaceutical industry requires large capital investments due to the high expenses associated with R&D, regulatory approvals, manufacturing, quality assurance & control, marketing, and sales.
U.S. and Canada have extensive government regulations affecting the development and approval of drugs for commercial sale. These countries have strict requirements for good manufacturing practices to ensure the integrity of drug manufacturing operations and pharmaceutical products' quality, safety, and efficacy. These challenges have led pharmaceutical companies to partner with contract manufacturing and development organizations to develop and manufacture pharmaceuticals and biologics, driving the growth of the pharmaceutical contract development and manufacturing market.
Key Findings of the North America Pharmaceutical Contract Development and Manufacturing Market Study:
In 2025, the Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Services Segment is Expected to Dominate this Market
Based on type, the North America pharmaceutical contract development and manufacturing market is segmented into pharmaceutical manufacturing services, drug development services, and biologics manufacturing services. In 2025, the pharmaceutical manufacturing services segment is expected to account for the largest share of the market. The large of this segment is attributed to factors such as the growing need to reduce manufacturing costs in the pharmaceutical industry, the requirement for high-quality bulk manufacturing, and the growing demand for generic drugs. According to the U.S. FDA, as of 2022, it is estimated that 91% of all prescriptions in the United States are filled as generic drugs, with more than 32,000 generic drugs approved.
In 2025, the Large Pharmaceutical Companies Segment is Expected to Account for the Largest Share of the Market
Based on end user, the North America pharmaceutical contract development and manufacturing market is segmented into large pharmaceutical companies, small & mid-size pharmaceutical companies, and generic pharmaceutical companies. In 2025, the large pharmaceutical companies segment is expected to account for the largest share of the market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the increasing demand from businesses worldwide, the increasing need for state-of-the-art processes and production technologies, and the continued efforts of pharmaceutical companies to reduce production costs. Additionally, with the increasing burden of diseases, the demand for drugs is increasing. Thus, to tackle the high demand, pharmaceutical companies are collaborating or partnering with CDMOs. For instance: In May 2021, Siegfried Holdings AG (Switzerland) signed an agreement with Novavax, Inc. (U.S.) to manufacture and supply Novavax's protein-based COVID-19 Vaccine. Under this agreement, Siegfried served as a non-exclusive supplier for the aseptic fill and finish of Novavax's COVID-19 vaccine NVX-CoV2373.
U.S.: Fastest Growing Market
The U.S. is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Factors such as drug shortages due to the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, the presence of large pharmaceutical and biotechnology manufacturers, biopharmaceutical R&D funding, and rising demand for cell and gene therapies in the U.S. drive the pharmaceutical contract development and manufacturing market. Growing demand for biopharmaceuticals and supportive initiatives for their adoption resulted in expanding biopharmaceutical manufacturing facilities in the U.S. For instance, in April 2022, FUJIFILM Diosynth Biotechnologies (U.S.) announced to build BioProcess Innovation Center in Research Triangle Park (U.S.). The facility will have analytical instrumentation, high throughput bioprocessing equipment, and automation technologies. Also, in March 2022, Amgen, Inc. (U.S.) announced the establishment of a biomanufacturing facility in North Carolina (U.S.). The facility is expected to be operational by 2025.
