The Middle East active pharmaceutical ingredient CDMO market size was estimated at USD 7.23 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 11.64 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 5.58% from 2025 to 2033. The market is driven by the growing prevalence of chronic diseases, a focus on generic and biosimilar drugs, and significant technological advancements. Supportive government policies, investment in pharmaceutical infrastructure, and streamlined regulatory processes further stimulate domestic and international players to expand operations in the region.
In addition, the shifting preference of pharmaceutical companies toward outsourcing complex manufacturing processes rather than investing heavily in in-house capabilities is also one of the factors contributing to the market growth. Outsourcing these activities helps pharmaceutical companies to focus more resources on innovation, clinical research, and market expansion. These factors reduce financial risks, shorten development timelines, and allow for faster scalability, which is particularly valuable in a region where healthcare demand is rising rapidly. Furthermore, global players are showing increasing interest in entering the Middle Eastern market due to its strategic geographic location, which offers access to both developed and emerging economies, making it an attractive hub for pharmaceutical trade and distribution.
Furthermore, increasing government initiatives aimed at strengthening local drug manufacturing to ensure regional supply security are also one of the factors fueling the market growth. Several countries in the region are prioritizing domestic production capabilities to reduce dependence on imports and improve access to essential medicines. This has opened opportunities for CDMOs that can provide advanced technologies and regulatory expertise to support local firms. In parallel, a growing number of collaborations and joint ventures between multinational pharmaceutical companies and regional players are accelerating knowledge transfer and boosting overall manufacturing capacity.
