DRIVER: Increasing drugs in the pipeline and rising investments in pharmaceutical R&D

Pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, and medical device companies are significant investors in the development of innovative drugs and devices. This industry is highly R&D intensive, with a focus on delivering both high-quality and novel products. Recent trends reveal that leading pharmaceutical companies are enhancing R&D efficiencies by making substantial R&D investments for long-term returns and fostering collaborative research activities. The rising R&D investments within the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical sectors are driving a shift towards comprehensive integrated or functionally outsourced services encompassing the entire process of drug discovery and development, starting from early-stage development to late-stage development phase. To enhance profitability, meet stringent drug development timelines, and achieve cost efficiencies, a significant number of pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies now outsource their testing functions during R&D to CROs. This inclination is notably evident in recent partnerships between prominent pharmaceutical firms and Contract Research Organizations (CROs). Furthermore, advancements in biotechnology have resulted in a sharp increase in drug candidates in the pipeline. For instance, the number of drug candidates in the development pipeline has increased from 10,479 in 2013 to 17,737 by 2020. Projections indicate a continuation of this trend, with an estimated count of 21,292 drug candidates anticipated by the end of the year 2023. These trends are expected to drive the market during the forecast period.

Restraint: Need for unique testing approaches for innovative molecules

The pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries have witnessed a considerable rise in competitiveness as they strive to create novel treatments and secure patent exclusivity through accelerated drug development. Bioanalytical testing plays a critical role across all stages of pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical development and stands as the most frequently outsourced process within the scope of chemistry, manufacturing, and control (CMC) activities. CMC data also holds essential significance in meeting regulatory expectations and attaining approval for Investigational New Drug (IND) applications. The variety of requirements in chemistry, manufacturing, and control (CMC) for seeking approval for biopharmaceutical Investigational New Drug (IND) and developing innovative drug delivery systems presents different challenges. These challenges impose the use of novel and innovative analytical methods to test the new drug molecules.
