The global in-vivo CRO market size reached USD 5.3 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 9.8 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 6.76% during 2025-2033. The growing prevalence of chronic diseases worldwide and the increasing R&D expenditure by pharmaceutical companies are propelling the market growth.
In-vivo contract research organizations (CROs) are institutions that conduct extensive biopharmaceutical research on a contractual basis. They support pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies in formulating effective drugs, vaccines, and medical devices by providing outsourcing services. As compared to in-vitro CRO, in-vivo CRO deals with the research performed within the living organism and conducts human clinical trials to assess the safety and efficacy of the drugs instead of organizing examinations on removed cells and tissues. They aid research institutions in managing complex medical testing, developing effective medications at minimal costs, and optimizing workflow by avoiding delays caused by hiring, fundraising, and clinical preparations. As a result, in-vivo CRO finds extensive application in pain management, oncology, and treating central nervous system (CNS) injuries and other disorders. Currently, they are bifurcated into rodent- and non-rodent-based types.
In-vivo CRO Market Trends:
The increasing prevalence of various cardiovascular ailments, especially amongst the geriatric population, and the growing need for effective medications and novel oncology-based therapies for diagnosis and treatment are primarily driving the market growth. Additionally, the rising demand for clinical-scale manufacturing of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) by contract research, development, and manufacturing organizations (CRDMOs) and the shifting inclination toward biosimilars over format monoclonal antibodies are acting as other growth-inducing factors. Furthermore, the fueling health concerns have prompted biotechnology companies to engineer effective novel vaccines in collaboration with CRO, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, which is contributing to the market growth. Moreover, the extensive utilization of in-vivo CRO to perform toxicology and pharmacokinetic studies during preclinical activities is impelling the market growth. Apart from this, the advent of bioequivalence, rapid growth in generics, ongoing patent expirations, and continuous research and development (R&D) activities to engineer personalized medicines are creating a positive outlook for the market.
