The pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies confront ongoing pressure to accelerate new product development. Therefore, developing intricate analytical testing tools to ensure and maintain product quality requires a wider spectrum of equipment and expertise, frequently surpassing internal capacities. As a result, many companies increasingly turn to outsourcing pharmaceutical analytical testing services.
Thus, to address the growing trend of outsourcing, CMOs and CROs have expanded their networks to meet the increasing demand, thereby facilitating market expansion. For instance, in December 2023, Sterling Accuris Diagnostics, a prominent network of NABL-accredited pathology laboratories, acquired Vaibhav Analytical Services, a provider of analytical testing services, specializing in pharmaceutical and drug testing. This acquisition broadened the Sterling Accuris service portfolio, particularly in pharmaceutical analytical testing.
Thus, the increasing trend of outsourcing across pharmaceutical sectors along with business initiatives is expected to fuel market expansion.
