U.K. Biotechnology & Pharmaceutical Services Outsourcing Market Worth $4.1 Billion By 2028

U.K. Biotechnology & Pharmaceutical Services Outsourcing Market Growth & Trends

The U.K. biotechnology and pharmaceutical services outsourcing market size is expected to reach USD 4.1 billion by 2028, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 6.9% from 2021 to 2028. This is due to the change in the regulatory landscape and increased outsourcing of R&D activities. Pharma and biotech companies are outsourcing regulatory affairs services to CROs, which helps them focus on core competencies. Outsourcing helps in reducing variable costs, which in turn enables geographic expansion. Regulatory support activities include regulatory intelligence, product labeling, regulatory document submissions, liaison with regulatory authorities, and planning regulatory strategies. Increasing requirements of the complex regulatory documentation processes and the high cost related to clinical trials have led to the shift from in-house management of regulatory affairs to outsourcing to CROs.

However, the covid-19 pandemic would have a long-term impact on biopharmaceutical manufacturing. Traditional vaccinations are too time-consuming and complex to produce. They are not vertically scalable, and they pose a safety risk. Advanced vaccines, on the other hand, are extremely safe and can quickly and effectively respond to viruses with high pandemic potential and high fatality rates.The demand for advanced vaccines, in particular, would have an impact on the biopharmaceutical industry's growth after COVID-19. The additional vaccine production capacity would force developers to reconsider items that were previously deemed too costly to manufacture.
