Market growth is being fueled by the rapid expansion of oligonucleotide-based therapeutic pipelines, increasing reliance on outsourcing by pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, continuous advancements in oligonucleotide synthesis and delivery technologies, and growing investments in GMP manufacturing infrastructure. As more oligonucleotide therapies advance through clinical development and receive regulatory approvals, demand for specialized contract development and manufacturing organizations continues to rise across both clinical and commercial production. The oligonucleotide CDMO market plays a critical role by providing integrated development, process optimization, analytical support, and GMP manufacturing services for synthetic nucleic acid medicines. Increasing commercialization of RNA-based therapeutics is further accelerating the need for large-scale manufacturing capacity, advanced analytical capabilities, and regulatory-compliant production facilities. The continued expansion of oligonucleotide drug development programs and growing outsourcing preferences among pharmaceutical manufacturers are expected to reinforce long-term demand for specialized CDMO services throughout the forecast period.
The contract manufacturing segment generated USD 1.2 billion in 2025. Segment growth is supported by the increasing number of late-stage clinical programs and commercially approved oligonucleotide therapies requiring large-scale GMP production. Pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies continue to outsource manufacturing activities to specialized CDMOs to gain access to advanced production technologies, regulatory-compliant manufacturing facilities, and scalable commercial capabilities while minimizing significant capital expenditures associated with in-house manufacturing expansion.
The antisense oligonucleotides (ASO) segment held 38.7% share in 2025. Its leading position is supported by the continued expansion of approved therapies and a strong pipeline of clinical-stage drug candidates targeting multiple disease areas. Growing investment in antisense oligonucleotide research, combined with increasing commercial manufacturing requirements, continues to strengthen demand for specialized development, analytical, and GMP manufacturing services across this segment.
North America Oligonucleotide CDMO Market accounted for 51.7% share in 2025, maintaining its position as the leading regional market. Regional growth is supported by a highly developed pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry, advanced manufacturing capabilities, a well-established regulatory environment, and a strong concentration of specialized contract development and manufacturing organizations. The United States continues to dominate regional revenue due to its extensive biotechnology ecosystem, expanding clinical development activities, and the presence of numerous pharmaceutical companies and dedicated oligonucleotide CDMO service providers.
