Fill-finish Pharmaceutical Contract Manufacturing Market: Key Companies & Market Share Insights

[sara James]

The global Fill-finish Pharmaceutical Contract Manufacturing Market size is expected to reach USD 14.0 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 6.1% from 2022 to 2030. Increasing demand for drugs across the global market and the advantage of the reduction in the overall investment for developing drugs with contract manufacturing are the key factors driving the growth of the market. Contract fill-and-finish services are one of the most commonly outsourced services presently. Almost all pharmaceutical and biotech firms outsource at least some of their fill-and-finish requirements.

Unpredicted demand, second source policies, and better matching scale with need are all factors to consider when utilizing a CMO's capacity. Highly specialized capabilities like prefilled syringes, lyophilization, and cartridges, as well as novel therapeutics, necessitate specialized manufacturing that is more cost-effective to outsource. Firms with in-house aseptic fill/finish capacity outsource 39% of their fill and finish requirements, according to contract pharma. Furthermore, filling accounts for 59% of the market, while lyophilization accounts for 24%.

However, the COVID-19 pandemic spurred the development of COVID-19 vaccines, antibody therapy, antiviral drugs, and a variety of other related pharmaceutical products. The pandemic severely impacted countries such as Brazil, India, the U.S., and major European countries, increasing demand for biopharmaceutical products and, as a result, drug production. Vaccines and biologics require special manufacturing and fill-finish equipment and procedures to ensure product quality and safety, necessitating advanced analytical competencies and adaptable aseptic fill-finish technologies. This resulted in the positive impact of covid-19 on the market.
