The global pharmaceutical stability & storage services market size was estimated at around USD 2.8 billion in 2021 and it is projected to hit around USD 4.6 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 5.67% from 2022 to 2030.
Stability and storage is a mandatory regulation in various regions. For instance, different regulatory authorities have different data requirements and testing rules for testing stability. Even though FDA and EMA follow the ICH guidelines for stability testing, they still have different microbiological limits for stability tests. This has improved the demand for stability testing outsourcing services and is likely to have a positive impact on the market.
The COVID-19 pandemic had increased the demand for COVID-19 vaccines globally. The growing vaccine drive by the government authorities is likely to drive the demand for stability and storage of commercial COVID-19 vaccines. In recent years pharmaceutical R&D spending has improved significantly. The growing R&D spending is expected to improve the number of drugs in the clinical stage. Stability testing is required for the approval of each phase of a clinical trial. This is further driving the market growth. Moreover, Biosimilar drugs are highly similar copies of biologics and are very cheaper, as compared to biologics.
Biosimilar drugs are widely used in cancer, autoimmune diseases, and other diseases. This is contributing to the demand for biosimilar drugs and thereby is expected to drive the market demand. There has been a rise in several diseases post-COVID-19. For instance, according to a report published by Children’s National Hospital- pediatric research and clinical innovations center, a study was performed on 737 youths who were diagnosed with diabetes, and it found an increased incidence of pediatric Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) by 15.2% and Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) increased by 182% between March 11, 2018, and March 10, 2021. The rise in the disease incidence is expected to improve, drug production, which is likely to drive the market demand.

Service Insights
The stability segment dominated the market and accounted for the largest revenue share of 72.8% in 2021. Stability testing is an important parameter that must be analyzed and reported by pharmaceutical companies aiming to gain marketing approvals from the regulatory authorities. The mandatory requirement for stability testing in each phase of the clinical studies is further improving its demand in the market.
The storage segment is expected to register the fastest CAGR of 6.3% during the forecast period. Pharmaceutical drugs are stored in cold and non-cold conditions under environmentally controlled chambers to check whether the quality of the drug changes with time under the environmental conditions of humidity, temperature, and light. The majority of small molecule drugs are required to be stored in non-cold conditions and the high existence of commercially available small molecules is driving the demand for non-cold storage in the market.
Molecule Insights
The small molecule segment accounted for the maximum revenue share of 63.6% in 2021. Over the last three decades, small molecule drug development has advanced dramatically. Small molecules consist of approximately 90% of the total pharmaceutical drugs. It is used in the treatment of fever, migraine, cancer, diabetes, and other common diseases. The use of small-molecule drugs in the treatment of common diseases and disorders is contributing to its demand for stable testing and storage.
The large molecule segment is expected to rise with the fastest CAGR of 6.6%over the forecast period. Large molecules are widely used in the treatment of cancer, infectious diseases, and autoimmune diseases among others. The high burden of these diseases is expected to improve the demand for large molecules and thus is likely to promote the demand for stability and storage of large molecules.
Mode Insights
The in-house segment accounted for the maximum revenue share of 60.2% in the global market in 2021. The majority of pharmaceutical manufacturers choose in-house stability testing, as these tests are required to be performed for all drugs and in all phases of clinical studies. Owning a stability chamber for performing stability studies is considered cheaper in the long run, which is one of the reasons that pharmaceutical companies consider in-house services for stability testing. An in-house team performing stability testing will be more convenient for those pharmaceutical companies that can afford the initial setup cost; these factors are driving the demand for in-house services in the market.
The outsourcing segment is expected to rise with the fastest CAGR of 6.2% during the forecast period. Complications associated with stability testing are driving the demand for outsourcing in the market. Different regulatory authorities have different data requirements and testing rules, which makes it difficult to market products, especially in different markets. For instance, even though EMA and FDA follow ICH guidelines for stability testing, they still have different microbiological requirements for stability tests. Such differences make stability testing complicated, which increases the demand for outsourcing services.
Regional Insights
North America held the largest revenue share 53.7% of the pharmaceutical stability and storage market. This can be attributed to the significant number of pharmaceutical companies in the U.S. and Canada. The presence of major market players providing stability and storage services in this region is expected to contribute significantly to the market growth.
Asia Pacific is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR of 6.8% over the forecast. The region is the fastest growing pharmaceutical market, due to the presence of countries like China, India, and Japan. The initiatives by public organizations to reduce the prices of drugs so as to provide better access to quality medicines have contributed to the market growth. The region is also focused on clinical research. For instance, according to Global data, China had accounted for 26% of global clinical trials trial activity in 2021, and the significant number of clinical trials in these countries are likely to profit the Asia Pacific market.
