Pharmaceutical CRO & CDMO Introduction

The past five years has witnessed the contract research organization (CRO) and pharmaceutical contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) industries thrive with regards to the significance and value of merger and acquisition (M&A) deals. There are several factors that are driving the pharmaceutical CRO and CDMO market comprising higher use of pharmaceuticals, downsizing of supply chains to regional and national manufacturing centers, and emergence of novel advanced medicines urging robust investor interest in these business domains. CRO and CDMO basically supports the biotechnology and/or the pharmaceutical industries by way of outsourced services.

The only difference between these two is, the contract research organization (CRO) offers the research and development services, whereas the contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) focuses on providing an entire comprehensive service from research and commercial manufacture.
