The global investigational new drug CDMO market size was estimated at USD 5.21 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 10.40 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 8.66% from 2025 to 2033. The investigational new drug (IND) CDMO market has been driven by rising outsourcing demand from pharmaceutical & biotechnology companies, increasing pipeline complexity, and growing need for cost efficiency among companies.
Besides, increased emphasis on accelerating time-to-market, while early-phase development risks have been managed through partnerships with specialized CDMOs. In addition, growing therapeutic focus on oncology, rare diseases, and advanced biologics has further fueled IND new drug CDMO services.
Moreover, growing technological advancements have been adopted to strengthen CDMO service offerings across the IND space. Besides, artificial intelligence, advanced analytical platforms, organoid-based preclinical models, and digital regulatory systems have been integrated into operations to enable faster, data-rich development. Single-use bioprocessing and continuous manufacturing have provided flexibility in early-stage production, ensuring scalability and efficiency. Furthermore, investments have been directed toward expanding laboratory infrastructure, specialized bioassay capabilities, and digital quality systems to capture higher-value IND projects. In addition, strategic capital allocated to mergers, acquisitions, and alliances are enabling CDMOs to broaden service portfolios and expand global footprints. Private equity and venture capital activity has continued to support niche CDMOs, particularly those focused on biologics and cell and gene therapy.
Furthermore, the regulatory landscape has remained a critical determinant of IND CDMO performance. Increased scrutiny from the U.S. FDA, EMA, and other regional agencies has been observed, requiring adherence to evolving quality standards. Data integrity, transparency in early toxicology and bioanalytical submissions, and compliance with good laboratory and manufacturing practices have been emphasized, creating challenges and opportunities for differentiation.
Overall, the IND CDMO market has been characterized by rising demand, rapid technological adoption, and strategic expansion. In addition, market participants have been operating under competitive pressures to provide integrated, end-to-end solutions while balancing cost efficiency and compliance. This growth has been supported by globalized operations, diversified portfolios, and a focus on collaborative innovation, positioning CDMOs as indispensable partners in the early stages of drug development.
