The global oncology based in-vivo CRO market size reached USD 1.3 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 2.4 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 6.55% during 2025-2033. The rising prevalence of cancer, regulatory compliances, ongoing technological advancements, and the surging demand for personalized medicines are driving the market growth.
Oncology refers to a branch of medicine that studies, diagnoses, and treats cancer using biopsy, endoscopy, X-ray, computed tomography (CT) scanning, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET) scanning, and ultrasound. It offers hormonal therapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy, and oral therapies to patients for tolerating and easing the side effects of cancer. At present, there is a rise in the demand for oncology based in-vivo CRO across the globe due to the development of several investigational compounds by contract research organizations (CROs) for treating cancer.
The growing prevalence of cancer around the world represents one of the key factors driving the market. Moreover, governments of several countries across the globe are extensively investing in research and development (R&D) activities. This, along with the rising expertise in cancer treatment by contract research organizations (CROs), is propelling the growth of the market. In addition, there is an increase in the innovation of genetic engineering for manipulating deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and altering the characteristics of organisms. This, coupled with the growing focus on oncogene study to regulate proliferation, growth, and differentiation of cells, is positively influencing the market. Besides this, the wide availability of medicines, along with the expanding healthcare industry, is catalyzing the demand for oncology based in-vivo CRO worldwide. Apart from this, the cost-efficiency offered by contract research organizations (CROs) compared to an in-house study is offering lucrative growth opportunities to industry investors. Additionally, there is an increase in the adoption of telehealth and virtual clinical trials in the healthcare industry for ensuring the safety of cancer patients. This is projected to bolster the growth of the market.
