Oligonucleotide CDMO Market Expected to Reach USD 6.73 Billion by 2029 | MarketsandMarkets™

Globe Newswire — Thu, 18 Jun 2026 14:30:00 +0000

Delray Beach, FL, June 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The global oligonucleotide CDMO market is projected to grow from USD 2.51 billion in 2024 to USD 6.73 billion by 2029, registering a CAGR of 21.8% during the forecast period. Rising demand for oligonucleotide-based therapeutics, increasing outsourcing of development and manufacturing activities, and growing adoption of precision medicine are key factors driving market growth.

The market is also benefiting from a strong pipeline of antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs), small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), and other nucleic acid-based therapies. As pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies focus on targeting previously undruggable diseases, CDMOs are playing an increasingly important role in supporting development, scale-up, and commercialization activities.

What Is Driving Growth in the Oligonucleotide CDMO Market?
The growing focus on developing and commercializing oligonucleotide therapeutics is creating substantial demand for specialized manufacturing services. Oligonucleotide therapies offer high target specificity and have shown significant potential in treating genetic disorders, rare diseases, and complex chronic conditions.

As the number of clinical programs and regulatory approvals increases, pharmaceutical companies are increasingly relying on CDMOs with expertise in advanced synthesis technologies, regulatory compliance, and scalable manufacturing processes to accelerate development timelines and reduce operational complexity.

Why Is Outsourcing Becoming Essential for Oligonucleotide Manufacturing?
Manufacturing therapeutic oligonucleotides requires highly specialized technologies, complex synthesis processes, and strict regulatory compliance. Many biopharmaceutical companies lack the infrastructure needed to support large-scale commercial production, making outsourcing an attractive strategic option.

CDMOs offer advanced capabilities such as solid-phase synthesis, purification technologies, analytical testing, and cGMP-compliant manufacturing. These services help developers reduce costs, improve efficiency, and accelerate the transition from clinical development to commercial production.

How Is CRISPR Technology Creating New Opportunities?
The growing use of oligonucleotides in CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing applications is creating significant growth opportunities for CDMO providers. Oligonucleotides are essential for designing guide RNAs that direct gene-editing systems to specific DNA targets, making them a critical component of next-generation genetic therapies.

As gene-editing research ...
