DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Semi-Solid Dosage CDMO Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Route of Administration (Topical, Transdermal), By Product, By Service, By End Use, By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2025 - 2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global semi-solid dosage CDMO market size is estimated to reach USD 67.4 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 11.90% from 2025 to 2030.

The global semi-solid dosage CDMO market size is driven due to growing trend towards personalized medicine coupled with increasing demand for innovative drug delivery systems. Patients prefer semi-solid formulations, such as creams, gels, and ointments, due to their ease of application and rapid absorption. Moreover, it has significant adoption for dermatological treatments to enhance patient treatment options. According to the data published by the American Academy of Dermatology Association in September 2024, Acne is the most common condition affecting approximately 50 million people in the U.S. annually. Moreover, 85% of the people are among age 12 to 24. Thus, increasing prevalence of skin disorders has led to an increasing demand for the development of topical formulations, consequently driving the demand for CDMOs to expand their capabilities in semi-solid dosage forms.

Furthermore, constant technological advancements in formulation and manufacturing processes have also propelled the semi-solid dosage market. Innovations such as nanotechnology and advanced emulsion techniques have improved the efficacy and stability of semi-solid formulations. These advancements enable CDMOs to produce high-quality products that meet stringent regulatory requirements, thereby attracting more clients. For instance, the development of nano-emulsions has enhanced the bioavailability of active ingredients, making semi-solid formulations more effective in treating various conditions, including chronic pain and inflammatory diseases.

In addition, increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, coupled with an aging population, is also contributing to the growth of the semi-solid dosage CDMO market. As more individuals seek treatments for conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, and skin disorders, the demand for effective semi-solid formulations is projected to increase in the coming years. This trend is particularly prominent in geriatric care, where semi-solid forms are often preferred due to their ease of use. Thus, these factors are further contributing to the market growth.
