DUBLIN, March 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Life Sciences BPO Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, & Forecast 2018-2028" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The Global Life Sciences BPO Market was valued at USD 403.66 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to project impressive growth in the forecast period with a CAGR of 8.89% through 2028, reaching USD 668.79 billion

The Global Life Sciences BPO Market refers to the outsourcing of various business processes within the life sciences and healthcare industry to third-party service providers. These processes typically include research and development, clinical trials, regulatory affairs, pharmacovigilance, manufacturing, and other functions related to pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical devices, and healthcare.

In 2022, the Asia Pacific region emerged as the dominant player in the market, capturing the largest share of revenue at 36.8%. Furthermore, it is projected to exhibit the most rapid CAGR during the forecast period spanning from 2023 to 2030. This remarkable growth is fueled by a combination of factors, including untapped opportunities, ongoing enhancements in healthcare infrastructure, economic development, and a growing pool of skilled professionals.

Additionally, the Asia Pacific market benefits from the presence of numerous Contract Development and Manufacturing Organizations (CDMOs) that offer cost-effective research and manufacturing services. Notably, India and China serve as pivotal hubs in the life sciences outsourcing market, playing a significant role in the global export of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and finished products.

This dynamic region is characterized by a robust scientific community, boasting the highest number of U.S. FDA authorized manufacturing sites outside the United States. Moreover, favorable government initiatives like "Make in India" are expected to be key drivers of regional market growth.

Conversely, North America held a significant share of revenue in 2022. The region's segment growth is anticipated due to factors such as an increasing geriatric population, surging demand for technologically advanced drugs, and a growing need to optimize the overall supply chain model in the pharmaceutical and medical device industry to reduce costs.

Furthermore, the expanding Research and Development (R&D) cycle time and the heightened demand for faster market access for drugs, clinical trials, and related services are expected to boost the adoption rate of Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) services in North America during the forecast period.
