A peptide and oligonucleotide CDMO (contract development and manufacturing organization) refers to a company that offers services for the development, manufacturing, and supply of peptides and oligonucleotide-based therapeutics. These organizations specialize in synthetic chemistry, process development, analytical testing, and cGMP manufacturing to support the production of peptides and oligonucleotides for various companies.
The main product types provided by peptide and oligonucleotide CDMOs are peptides and oligonucleotides. Peptides are short chains of amino acids, typically less than 50 amino acids in length, that play crucial roles in biological processes such as signaling and hormone regulation. These CDMOs offer services including contract development and contract manufacturing. Peptides and oligonucleotides find applications in therapeutics, research applications, diagnostics, and other fields, and are utilized by end-users such as biopharmaceutical companies, pharmaceutical companies, research institutes, academic and government organizations, among others.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sudden escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the pharmaceutical sector. Companies are grappling with higher costs on imported active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), glass vials, and laboratory equipment-many of which have limited alternative sources. Generic drug manufacturers, already operating with minimal profit margins, are particularly affected, with some scaling back production of low-margin medications. Biotech firms are also experiencing delays in clinical trials due to shortages of specialized reagents linked to tariffs. In response, the industry is shifting API production to regions like India and Europe, building up inventory reserves, and advocating for tariff exemptions on essential medicines.

These peptide and oligonucleotide CDMO market research reports deliver a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The peptide and oligonucleotide cdmo market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.16 billion in 2024 to $2.42 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to a rise in demand for therapeutic agents, advancements in synthesis and manufacturing, personalized medicine trends, regulatory guidelines, and increased focus on antiviral peptides and mRNA vaccines highlighting the potential of oligonucleotides in vaccine development.
The peptide and oligonucleotide cdmo market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.69 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the growing demand for personalized medicine, advancements in biotechnology, expanding applications, increasing outsourcing, and the growing burden of chronic diseases. Major trends in the forecast period include personalized therapies, technological advancements, quality control challenges, global expansion, and increased collaboration among biopharmaceutical companies.
The forecast of 11.2% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.7% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Trade tensions could hinder U.S. biopharma innovation by inflating prices of peptide and oligonucleotide contract development services sourced from Switzerland and the UK, resulting in delayed biologic drug development and raising therapeutic production costs. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The peptide and oligonucleotide CDMO markets are poised for growth, driven by the increasing adoption of personalized medicine. Personalized medicine tailors healthcare decisions and treatments to individual characteristics such as genetics, lifestyle, and environment. This trend is fueled by advancements in genomic technologies, deeper insights into disease mechanisms at the molecular level, and the demand for more targeted and effective treatment options customized to patients' genetic profiles and medical histories. Peptide and oligonucleotide contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs) play a pivotal role in personalized medicine by producing customized therapeutic peptides and oligonucleotides to meet individual patient needs. For example, in February 2024, the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) approved 16 new personalized treatments for rare disease patients, a notable increase from the previous year. Consequently, the rising adoption of personalized medicine is propelling the peptide and oligonucleotide CDMO market forward.
Key players in the peptide and oligonucleotide CDMO market are forging strategic partnerships to enrich their service offerings, enhance technological capabilities, and broaden market presence. Peptide development and production partnerships entail collaborative efforts between organizations to develop and manufacture peptide-based therapeutics. For instance, in May 2023, PolyPeptide Group AG teamed up with Numaferm GmbH for peptide development and production. This collaboration harnesses PolyPeptide's cGMP manufacturing capacities and market access alongside Numaferm's expertise in sustainable peptide manufacturing and biochemical production platforms. The aim is to jointly explore the development of suitable peptide candidates for more sustainable production of peptide-based APIs.
In May 2024, EUROAPI strengthened its foothold in the oligonucleotide CDMO market by acquiring BianoGMP, further enhancing its capacity in Frankfurt. BianoGMP, a Germany-based CDMO specializing in providing analytical services for oligonucleotides, augments EUROAPI's capabilities, positioning it for expanded growth and innovation in the oligonucleotide segment.
