North America Contract Manufacturing Market Scope
The market is segmented on the basis of product, end user, and distribution channel.

• By Product

On the basis of product, the North America contract manufacturing market is segmented into pharmaceutical products manufacturing and medical device manufacturing. The pharmaceutical products manufacturing segment dominated the market with the largest revenue share of 59.8% in 2024. This dominance is driven by the increased outsourcing of drug manufacturing by pharmaceutical and biopharma companies, especially for complex formulations, biologics, and generic drugs. Regulatory compliance requirements and the rising demand for cost-efficient production solutions have further pushed companies to rely on contract manufacturing partners for large-scale and high-quality pharmaceutical production.

The medical device manufacturing segment is anticipated to witness the fastest growth rate from 2025 to 2032, owing to growing demand for innovative and miniaturized medical devices, as well as the need for precision-engineered components. Increasing technological complexity and the rising number of medical device startups are encouraging firms to outsource device manufacturing to specialized contract manufacturers with expertise in compliance, prototyping, and precision manufacturing.

• By End User

On the basis of end user, the North America contract manufacturing market is segmented into pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology companies, biopharma companies, medical device companies, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and research institutes. Pharmaceutical companies held the largest market revenue share of 38.7% in 2024. This is attributed to their extensive use of contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs) to reduce production costs, increase flexibility, and scale up manufacturing capabilities without investing in in-house facilities. Established pharma companies increasingly rely on CMOs for both small-molecule and biologic drug manufacturing, driving consistent demand across the region.

Biopharma companies are expected to witness the fastest growth over the forecast period due to increasing development of cell and gene therapies, which require specialized manufacturing capabilities. The complexity of these therapies and the need for regulatory-aligned production processes make outsourcing a preferred choice for emerging and mid-sized biopharma firms.

• By Distribution Channel

On the basis of distribution channel, the North America contract manufacturing market is segmented into direct tender, retail sales, and others. The direct tender segment accounted for the largest share of 46.5% in 2024. Government agencies, public health organizations, and large healthcare institutions typically procure pharmaceutical and medical products in bulk through tender-based agreements. This channel ensures competitive pricing, regulatory transparency, and long-term supply reliability, making it a dominant mode of distribution in North America.

The retail sales segment is expected to grow at a steady pace during forecast period, particularly in the medical device segment, where increased availability of consumer-facing medical products through pharmacies and online platforms is driving demand.
