Increased Outsourcing to CMO will Steadily Drive CMO Market Growth in Future

Outsourcing to Contract Manufacturing Organization (CMOs) is one of the most significant trends in the healthcare industry, especially in the biopharmaceuticals market. CMOs will be used for most of the processes in the healthcare industry several players from emerging countries are entering the market. Companies from the US and Europe are opening up operations in emerging countries such as India, Korea, China and Singapore. Outsourcing to the CMO is a good option for the big biotechnology companies that want to focus on core competency. Similarly companies lacking the manufacturing infrastructure and technical expertise are outsourcing to the CMO.

Culture Media and Regent Market for Upstream Processing will Experience a Huge Growth in Future

GBI Research analysis shows that the total culture media and reagent market used in upstream processing has been calculated at $1.36 billion for 2009. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11% for the period of 2009-2016, and is expected to reach $2.8 billion by 2016.

Cell culture and reagent is a consolidated market. More than 85%-90% of production of cell culture media, sera, and reagent used in the upstream processing are dominated by a few companies such as Life Technologies and Sigma Aldrich. Increasing interest of emerging countries in the production of biopharmaceutical drugs; patent expiry of some major dugs; and regulatory acceptances to the biosimilars is expected to drive the market in future.
