Biologics are genetically modified proteins derived from human genes. Biologic drugs target specific parts of the human immune system. Biologics are fundamentally different from chemically synthesized drugs. There is a wide range of biological products, including blood components, somatic cells, recombinant gene therapies, vaccines and allergens. Biological products consist of nucleic acids, proteins and tissues from living organisms. These products are isolated from sources such as animals, humans and microbes using biotechnological methods. This product is very sensitive to contamination, so the development of biological contracts shows a strong demand from pharmaceutical companies. Also, an increase in funding for research and development in biotechnology, increase in in outsourcing of R&D activities by pharma and biopharma companies are key factors that are anticipated to provide ample new growth opportunities for the market in the upcoming years.
Factors such as the increasing adoption of advanced technologies for organic production, growth in mergers and acquisitions activity, an increase in the outsourcing of R&D activities by pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies and a favourable regulatory environment for clinical trials in developing countries are important factors that are expected to drive the growth of the market.
The prevalence of diseases such as neurological diseases, gynaecological diseases, cancer, eye diseases and cardiovascular diseases is steadily increasing. For example, according to the WHO, cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide and will be responsible for more than 10 million deaths in 2020. According to Cancer Tomorrow, the number of cancer cases is expected to increase in the coming years. Cancer Tomorrow estimates that over 19.3 million cancer cases were reported in 2020 and that number is expected to reach 30.2 million by 2040. In these cases, the healthcare contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs) play a vital role in patient care as many biopharmaceutical companies seek to develop new therapies or first-class products for the treatment of disease. This is expected to boost the growth of the market in the upcoming years.
The market is expected to have new lucrative opportunities with the technological advancements, innovations and ongoing R&D activities involved in the biologics contract development sector, which is expected to provide ample new growth opportunities for the market during the forecast period. Also, a growing number of mergers and collaborations have spurred pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical outsourcing as major industry players expand into developing regions and this factor is expected to provide different new growth opportunities for the market over the projected time period.
The market has major restraining factors like certain side effects associated with biologics such as respiratory infections, pneumonia, urinary tract infections, skin infections etc. Also, the high cost associated with biologics production methods and lack of awareness regarding the use of these products are expected to act as a hurdler for the market’s growth over the forecast period. Besides, the shortage of resources in underdeveloped nations is another factor that is expected to restrain market growth.
The cost of biopharmaceuticals and biomedical products is quite high as they require extensive research and development procedures and their manufacture is a very complex process that requires highly skilled scientists. Also, the lack of skilled work force in low-income countries is expected to be a major challenge for the market’s growth over the forecast period.

The global Biologics Contract Development market comprises of different market segments like source, product, indication and geography.
By source, the Biologics Contract Development market includes the key segments of
The mammalian source segment is expected to witness a high CAGR during the forecast period. This is because using mammalian cells for protein expression has the main advantage of producing mammalian proteins with correct post-translational modifications that provide native structure. Mammalian cells such as Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell lines are among the most preferred and approximately 70.0% of therapeutic proteins are developed from CHO cells.
The microbial sources segment is expected to witness significant growth over the estimated time period. Microbial systems are widely used to produce recombinant therapeutic proteins. To date, approximately 650 protein drugs have been approved worldwide, of which approximately 400 are derived from recombinant microbial technologies. Additionally, approximately 48.0% of biologics approved for manufacturing are made from microbial sources, which are primarily used by contract development and manufacturing organizations to manufacture cytokines, hormones, enzymes, and monoclonal antibodies. These factors are expected to support the growth of the segment.
By product, the Biologics Contract Development market is segmented into
The cell line development segment is further segmented into microbial, mammalian and others. The process development segment is further segmented into upstream, downstream, by product and others. The upstream sub-segment is further classified into microbial, mammalian and others. The downstream sub-segment is further classified into Impurity, isolation, and identification, physicochemical characterization, pharmaceutical analysis and others. The by-product sub-segment is further classified into monoclonal antibodies, recombinant proteins and others.
The process development segment is expected to lead the development market over the forecast period. The upstream followed by the downstream development sub-segment is expected to grow at a high rate. Upstream process development primarily involves selecting the correct cell line, culture medium, bioreactor systems and operating parameters. Upstream process development services are provided by most organic production organizations and are very specific to customers' business needs, legal constraints and project timing.
The cell line development service is expected to have a significant growth over the projected time period. According to NCBI, cell lines are rigorously used to test vaccine production, drug metabolism and cytotoxicity, generate artificial tissues (e.g., artificial skin), study gene function, produce antibodies, and synthesize biological compounds. . The use of cell lines has revolutionized scientific research. The development of efficient cell lines is needed as they can be used to study expected clinical outcomes. Producing an efficient cell line affects productivity and product quality. The different characteristics of the cell line also improve process development to achieve targeted productivity and quality.
The Biologics Contract Development market has major indications like
The oncology segment is expected to dominate the market over the forecast period. Because cancers are formed by a malfunctioning immune system, biological therapy is said to re-establish, stimulate, or amplify the immune response, which is why many pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies are willing to invest in new cancer-related treatments. Cancer can spread to any organ in the body, so there is a great need for treatment, which in turn drives investments in research and development and outsourcing by various companies.
The immunological diseases segment is expected to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period. Immunological diseases or conditions caused by immune system dysfunction include diseases such as asthma, allergies, autoimmune diseases, and others. According to the NCBI, autoimmune inflammatory diseases affect approximately 7.6% to 9.4% of the world's population, particularly young and middle-aged women. Biological products have gained significant importance in the treatment of diseases such as arthritis, rheumatological diseases and others.
