CDMO Sector Outperforms Finished Dosage Manufacturers Amid High Commercial Demand
What happened
Contract research, development, and manufacturing organizations (CRDMOs) are reporting upbeat business prospects, despite revenue softness at pharmaceutical companies in the US. Laurus Labs and Piramal Pharma reported strong September quarter results, with revenues increasing by 33 percent and 28 percent, respectively. Piramal Pharma’s growth was led by its CDMO business, which added 22 new customers in the first half of FY27.

Why it matters
The CDMO sector is benefiting from a revival in biotech funding, stronger Request for Proposal conversion, and higher commercial demand across India and North America. This trend indicates that CRDMOs are investing heavily in new manufacturing capacity to meet rising demand.
