The global oral solid dosage CDMO market size is expected to reach USD 77.06 billion by 2033, registering a CAGR of 6.58% from 2026 to 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The increasing demand for outsourcing oral solid dosage manufacturing among pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies has compelled contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMO) to expand their manufacturing facilities to support the demand of pharmaceutical companies. These expansions are made across the globe to enhance their oral solid dosage industry penetration. Furthermore, the rising demand for generic drugs is a key factor for the market growth as there are increasing numbers of generics as OSD products.
The growing number of patients suffering from chronic and infectious diseases is key factor driving demand for novel therapeutics, thereby positively influencing overall industry progression. In addition, Booming geriatric population that are highly prone to chronic diseases and high adoption rate of OSD among this population further supporting the demand for OSD. Furthermore, another factor contributing to the market growth is adverse drug reactions to existing drugs, which have increased the demand for novel treatment options.
Ongoing technological advancements in the oral solid dosage CDMO market to enhance manufacturing efficiency, product quality, and regulatory compliance are positively influencing overall market growth potential. Continuous manufacturing assists seamless integration of numerous unit operations leading to streamlined production workflows and increased flexibility in manufacturing oral solid dosage forms. Moreover, innovations in techniques such as chromatography, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and dissolution testing enabled CDMOs to meet enhanced precision, sensitivity, & reliability in pharmaceutical analysis. Furthermore, the integration of automation, robotics, & data analytics streamlined analytical workflows, reduced turnaround times, and enhanced data integrity & compliance with regulatory standards such as Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) & International Council for Harmonization (ICH) guidelines.
