Animal research models have been the foundation of Charles River Laboratories' business since 1947, and the company has expanded to provide solutions encompassing research models and related services, drug discovery, preclinical testing, and manufacturing support. It services nearly all top and midtier biopharma players.
Charles River can leverage its scientific expertise and customer relationships as it rolls out non‑animal testing modalities as regulatory standards evolve.
The FDA’s roadmap to reduce animal testing, combined with advances in AI models, organoids, and cell-based assays, threatens the long-term demand and pricing power of Charles River’s core animal-models business.
