- Increased competition and shrinking profit margins have compelled pharma companies to revisit their production processes on drug R&D, instead of manufacturing the formulated drug to stay competitive in the market. The biggest factor driving the growth of CMOs in the pharmaceutical industry is the growing need for state-of-the-art processes and production technologies, which have proven highly effective in meeting regulatory requirements.
- CMOs are consolidating as a means of improving profitability in this crowded and competitive market. Through consolidation, large CMOs can expand their geographic presence and penetrate niche markets, whereas, small CMOs can leverage the technical expertise and resources of larger CMOs.
- The United States as a nation is one of the largest R&D spenders in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sector. According to Axios, a prominent online News company in the United States, as of 2018, pharmaceutical industries in the country have the tenth highest average after-tax profit levels when compared to more than 100 different industries. Also, it is estimated that while drug companies are responsible for 23% of the US health revenue, they also make 63% of the total profits.
- Further, the business models followed by CROs are putting them at a considerable advantage in the current market scenario. Currently, CROs either run in a preferred provider model or make strategic alliance partnerships with pharma companies. In the preferred provider model, the pharma company or the developer will get an exclusive price for CRO services, in exchange for guaranteeing a big part of the work to be outsourced to the CROs.
