Topical Drugs CDMO Market Growth & Trends

The globaltopical drugs CDMO marketsize is expected to reach USD 87.88 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 11.4% from 2024 to 2030. There is an increasing need for specialized topical drugs to address various skin-related and dermatological conditions. Healthcare providers and patients seek customized solutions, leading to a rise in demand for CDMOs with specialized expertise in topical drugs.

The market is fragmented, with several players having similar technological and processing capabilities. The development of innovative drug delivery technologies, such as microemulsions, nanotechnology, and transdermal patches, has extended the abilities of CDMOs to create more patient-friendly and effective topical drug products. Furthermore, a growing trend towards personalized medicine has significantly boosted demand for topical drug CDMOs, as they play a fundamental role in personalizing topical treatments to individual patient conditions and needs.

Collaborations between CDMOs and pharmaceutical companies have risen, with CDMOs contributing to the manufacturing and development of innovative and newtopical drugs. Pharmaceutical firms significantly opt for outsourcing with an aim to focus on core competencies such as research, distribution, and marketing while entrusting manufacturing services to dedicated CDMOs. The increasing number of FDA approvals and product launches in topical medications significantly contributes to CDMOs specializing in topical drug manufacturing growth. For instance, in May 2022, Dermavant Sciences received the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for its VTAMA (tapinarof) cream, 1%, for the topical management of plaque psoriasis in adults.

The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the market. The pandemic has significantly disrupted the global supply chains, affecting the accessibility of manufacturing capabilities and raw materials. Several clinical studies, including those for topical medicine, were temporarily delayed or put on hold owing to safety concerns. This disturbed the testing and development of new topical drug treatments and formulations. However, by adopting strategic initiatives such as acquisition and partnerships with specialized drug providers, the industry regained its market shares by 2021.
