Small Molecule Innovator CDMO Industry Overview

The global small molecule innovator CDMO market size was estimated at USD 48.6 billion in 2023 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.21% from 2024 to 2030. Key drivers for this growth are increasing pharmaceutical RD investment, growing demand for small molecules, and rising incidence of cancer age-related disorders. Biological drugs are more expensive than small molecules. Hence, growing demand for cost-effective drugs is expected to further support market growth.

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted on global economy in 2020 and caused an ongoing impact on various industries. However, the market for contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) witnessed a positive impact due to this pandemic. CDMOs played an important role in meeting the needs of pharmaceutical companies, biotech companies, and other end-users during this crisis. Overall, pandemic boosted market demand for small molecule innovator drugs. With the growing demand for outsourcing by pharma companies, heightened demand is observed in post-pandemic scenario.
