From Local Powerhouses to Global Players: China’s Pharmaceutical CDMO Industry in the Era of Specialization and Innovation

View our Complimentary Blue Book

The pharmaceutical industry chain is becoming increasingly specialized, refined, and customized. Contract Development and Manufacturing Organizations (CDMOs), which represent the pharmaceutical contract outsourcing service sector, have emerged and quickly become an essential part of the global pharmaceutical industry. The rise of the innovative drug sector has created vast room for the development of the CDMO industry. CDMO companies, supported by their large-scale manufacturing capabilities and high-value R&D and production processes, have become key partners to pharmaceutical companies, supporting them across the entire process from drug concept to market launch, and from process development to large-scale production. In recent years, Chinese CDMO companies, driven by a global expansion strategy, have actively entered international markets. Through initiatives such as setting up overseas R&D centers and building production bases that comply with international standards, they have deeply participated in global pharmaceutical industry competition and collaboration, contributing new momentum to its growth.
