Q3 2024 CRO Update

M&A activity within the Contract Research Organization (“CRO”) sector saw slightly depressed transaction volume in Q3-2024, although, a strengthening macroeconomic environment signals an uptick in Q4-2024 and the duration of 2025.

Pharmaceutical companies have long been primary clients for CROs; however, biotech and emerging pharma companies are increasingly driving market growth from a spending perspective, highlighting the evolving role of smaller, more agile players in the broader healthcare ecosystem.

The recent surge in biotech Initial Public Offerings, following a two-year slump, signals accelerated drug development efforts in the coming years. This resurgence points to increased investor confidence and a robust pipeline of research initiatives. As these companies advance, the demand for CRO services is expected to grow substantially.
