DUBLIN, Sept. 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

The "Pharmaceutical Contract Manufacturing Market (2nd Edition), 2018-2028" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The present pipeline of pharmaceutical products is increasingly complex and requires specialized facilities, equipment and operational expertise. Small molecule drugs account for nearly 90% of the therapeutics in the pharmaceutical market. In fact, in 2017, FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research approved 34 small molecule drugs; this represents an annual growth of nearly 56%, signifying the growing importance of contract manufacturing in the overall pharmaceutical industry. The costs associated with acquiring manufacturing capabilities are exorbitant and, therefore, it is difficult for companies with limited finances and capacity constraints to succeed by themselves. The aforementioned constraints have led many of the smaller players in the industry and, at times, certain pharma giants as well, to outsource a significant part of their business operations to contract service providers. Third-party service providers are known to offer significant cost-benefits, access to larger production capacities and reductions in time-to-market.

Over the years, the contract manufacturing market has grown into a prominent and promising segment of the overall pharmaceutical industry. Since 2000, close to 150 new CMOs have been established, offering cost-efficient solutions to several stakeholders in the industry.

The current global CMO market is highly fragmented but characterized by multiple acquisitions and mergers as stakeholders strive to broaden their respective service portfolios. This has enabled several CMOs to start offering end-to-end services, ranging from drug development, including preliminary R&D, preclinical and clinical trials, to commercial scale production and regulatory filings.

Despite the fact that the pharmaceutical sector is amongst the most highly regulated industries, we expect the demand for core competencies to continue to drive sponsor companies to outsource various parts of their manufacturing operations. Amidst tough competition, the availability of advanced tools and technologies is an important differentiating factor and will grant a competitive edge to certain CMOs over other stakeholders in the industry. However, given the ongoing innovation in production technologies and the steadily evolving pipeline of small molecules, the pressure on the contract manufacturing industry is expected to increase in the coming years. This is likely to require CMOs to devise and implement different business strategies and models in order to cope with the evolving demand.

One of the key objectives of this report was to evaluate the current opportunity and the future potential of the pharmaceutical contract manufacturing market over the coming decade. Based on various parameters, we have provided an informed estimate of the likely evolution of the market in the short to mid-term and long term, for the period 2018-2028.

In addition, we have provided the likely distribution of the market based on [A] type of business segment (API and FDF), [B] regional evolution of the market covering North America (the US, Canada and Mexico), Europe (Italy, Germany, France, Spain, the UK and rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, India, Japan, Australia and rest of Asia) and rest of the world, [C] type of API product (branded and generic) within the aforementioned regions, [D] type of FDFs manufactured (solids, liquids/semi-solids and injectables), [E] type of packaging forms (tablet/capsule/blister packing, ointment/gel/tube, vial, ampoule, sachet/pouch/bag, glass/plastic bottle and pre-filled syringe), [F] scale of API manufacturing (clinical, commercial, and both) and [G] size of manufacturers (small sized, mid-sized, large and very large companies).

To account for the uncertainties associated with the growth of pharmaceutical contract manufacturing market and to add robustness to our model, we have provided three forecast scenarios, portraying the conservative, base and optimistic tracks of the market's evolution.
