India CDMO Market Trends:

Expansion of Biologics and Biosimilars Manufacturing

The contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) market in India is witnessing strong growth due to the rising demand for biologics and biosimilars. As global pharmaceutical companies increasingly outsource biologic drug development and production, Indian CDMOs are investing in advanced biomanufacturing capabilities, including mammalian and microbial expression systems. The push for affordable biosimilars is driving partnerships between firms, positioning India as a key hub for cost-effective, high-quality biologics production. For instance, in December 2024, Mankind Pharma Ltd announced a strategic partnership with Innovent Biologics to license and commercialize Sintilimab in India, aiming to improve cancer treatment access by providing innovative immunotherapy solutions to address critical healthcare challenges in the region. Additionally, the expansion of state-of-the-art bioreactors, single-use technologies, and process optimization strategies is enhancing efficiency and scalability in biopharmaceutical manufacturing. Regulatory alignment with agencies like USFDA and EMA further strengthens India’s competitive advantage in contract manufacturing. As the demand for targeted therapies, monoclonal antibodies, and gene-based treatments rises, Indian CDMOs are expected to play a critical role in supplying global markets, ensuring cost efficiency while maintaining high regulatory and quality standards.

Increasing Demand for End-to-End CDMO Services

Pharmaceutical companies are increasingly seeking end-to-end services from CDMOs, covering drug discovery, formulation development, clinical trial support, commercial-scale production, and regulatory compliance. This trend is driven by the need for faster time-to-market, cost-efficiency, and streamlined supply chains. Indian CDMOs are expanding their capabilities to offer comprehensive solutions, enabling global drug developers to outsource the entire product lifecycle under a single contract. The integration of AI-driven drug discovery, process automation, and real-time data analytics is further enhancing efficiency in development and manufacturing. Additionally, CDMOs are focusing on high-potency active pharmaceutical ingredients (HPAPIs), complex generics, and sterile injectables, strengthening their position as strategic outsourcing partners. For instance, in January 2024, Aragen Life Sciences announced a substantial investment of INR 20 Billion (approximately US$230.5 Million) in Telangana to bolster its drug discovery, development, and manufacturing capabilities, reflecting a strategic focus on expanding complex generics and HPAPI production. In addition, government incentives for pharmaceutical innovation, regulatory harmonization, and infrastructure development are supporting this growth. With increasing investments in R&D facilities, analytical services, and quality control, Indian CDMOs are emerging as preferred partners for global pharmaceutical companies seeking cost-effective, high-quality solutions.
