Drug Discovery Services Market - Major Pillars for the Global Growth

Global Industry Growth Boosting Factors:

Growing R&D expenditure in the pharmaceutical & biopharmaceutical industry, increasing demand for outsourcing analytical testing services, initiatives for research on rare diseases and orphan drugs, and the high cost of in-house drug development are creating new revenue pockets in the Drug Discovery Services Market. On the other hand, stringent regulations governing drug discovery and animal usage are expected to restrain market growth to a certain extent. The shortage of skilled professionals poses a challenge for drug discovery service providers.

CHALLENGE: Shortage of Skilled Personnel

The global pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device R&D outsourcing industry is constantly evolving. Professionals must keep pace with the continuing changes in pharmaceutical R&D technologies and methodologies, provide quality services, and comply with good laboratory practices. CROs face challenges in attracting and retaining highly skilled professionals as they compete with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and academic and research institutions for qualified and experienced scientists.

OPPORTUNITY: Growth in drugs and biologics market despite Covid-19 Pandemic

Despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, 2020 has been the second-best year for the pharmaceutical industry regarding the number of drugs approved by the US FDA. This year witnessed the authorization of 53 drugs—a number surpassed only in 2018 with 59 pharmaceutical agents. The 53 approvals in 2020 comprised 40 new chemical entities and 13 biologics (of which ten were monoclonal antibodies, two were antibody-drug conjugates, three were peptides, and two, oligonucleotides). The FDA authorized 160 drugs in the last three years (2018–2020), compared to the approval of only 21 drugs in 2010.

This growth in the number of approved products worldwide is attributed to the rising investments by biopharmaceutical companies to develop biologics and biosimilars. More than half of the drug candidates in the discovery stage are biologics, such as proteins, peptides, and monoclonal antibodies. Biologics are expected to contribute around half of the revenue generated by the top 100 pharmaceutical product sales in 2022.
