Study on Scientific Service Companies
Commissioned by Technopolis Group on behalf of Deutsches Elektronen Synchrotron (DESY), this report explores the growth potential of Scientific Service Companies (SSCs), focusing on Commercial Analytical Research Organisations (CAROs), Contract Research Organisations (CROs), and Research and Technology Organisations (RTOs) in the New Materials sector. Interviews with SSCs reveal key business models and management practices.
The market for scientific services is expected to grow due to factors such as:
• Increasing Technological Complexity: Growing demand for specialized STEM expertise.
• Rising Equipment Costs: Need for broader utilization of expensive scientific tools.
• Role of Specialized Intermediaries: Offering innovative solutions and new market applications.
• Cost Flexibility: Converting fixed costs into variable costs for RIs and companies.
