NEW YORK, July 24, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --
INTRODUCTION
Biologics constitute a majority of the top selling drugs and presently represent one of the fastest growing segments of the overall pharmaceutical industry. In fact, since the launch of recombinant protein-based therapies around three decades earlier, the overall biologics market has grown at an annualized rate of over 12%. It is also worth highlighting that more than 5,000 biopharmaceutical product candidates are currently under development. Despite the fact that biopharmaceuticals offer significant profit margins, the sponsors of such pharmacological interventions are plagued by high costs of development and complex production protocols. As a result, several start-ups / small-sized companies and certain pharma giants have begun outsourcing different aspects of their business operations to contract service providers. According to the 2017 Nice Insight CDMO survey, about 54% of 700 respondents claimed to have collaborated with a contract service provider for clinical and commercial-scale product development projects. Contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs) and contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs) are known to offer significant benefits, such as reduction in capital investment, access to larger production capacities, reductions in time-to-market and reduced commercialization risk.

Specifically, fill / finish is the final step in the production process and is considered among the most crucial stages of drug product manufacturing. Biologics drug products require special procedures and equipment for fill / finish operations in order to ensure product integrity and safety. As this operation is heavily outsourced, the rise in demand for biologics has resulted in an equivalent need for flexible aseptic fill / finish technologies. Pharmaceutical drug manufacturers have not hesitated to collaborate with contract service providers to leverage the latter's experience and expertise in the latest fill / finish technologies. Currently, over 115 companies are actively providing fill / finish services for biologics. In the recent past, many service providers have also forged alliances / acquired other players in order to enhance their service offerings.
