Life Science Industry Overview

As a leading Life science recruitment company, we are incredibly passionate about the industry. Life science is an exciting and diverse market and includes an array of specialised disciplines which involve the scientific study of all living organisms, from parasitology and toxicology to immunology and virology.

The life science sector is a vast, thriving landscape of innovative businesses, skilled employees and career progression opportunities. Markets falling under the life science remit include pharmaceuticals, medical devices, biotechnology, diagnostics, clinical research, and other associated healthcare sectors.

Scientific innovation and healthcare advancement are at the life science industry’s core, bringing perpetual demand for qualified science professionals and ongoing skill-building within various specialist job roles. As it stands, there are around 5,800 companies and 248,000+ employees making up the sector in the UK alone.

The global life science industry boasts a CAGR of 11.8% and is expected to grow from USD 17.95 billion in 2024 to USD 43.86 billion by 2032. Government and industry investment funding continues to drive growth ambitions, requiring an evolving workforce to accommodate such advances. Recent life science funding includes a £92 million injection to R&D and manufacture for medicines and diagnostics, driving further demand and shaping new avenues for career growth.

Life Science Market Trends

Emerging trends reshaping the current life science landscape include; advancements in digital health, artificial intelligence, evolving therapeutic approaches, and innovative manufacturing techniques. These shifts are expected to drive new priorities and open diverse career opportunities across various life science sectors.

Previous market trends continue to influence the present direction of the industry. The COVID-19 pandemic, for example, has significantly accelerated digital transformation, boosted R&D in vaccine development, and set new standards in clinical trials – areas that remain a key focus today.

Additional external factors such as Brexit have influenced the current market due to complexities in talent mobility and subsequent skill shortages. As a result, we’ve seen an increase in life sciences businesses leveraging specialised life science recruitment agencies with access to large talent pools to best navigate the evolving post-Brexit landscape.
