The healthcare industry has witnessed tremendous growth over the past few decades and continues expanding rapidly to cater to the increasing healthcare needs globally. Contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs) provide drug development and manufacturing services to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies which help reduce development costs and improve efficiencies. CMOs also eliminate the need for companies to maintain large in-house manufacturing capabilities which allows them to focus on their core competencies of drug discovery and clinical research. There has been a significant increase in pharmaceutical companies outsourcing their manufacturing activities to CMOs such as tablet and capsule production, lyophilization, sterile filling, packaging etc. The global Healthcare CMO Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 507.46 Mn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.4% over the forecast period 2024 to 2031, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
