LONDON, July 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- INTRODUCTION
Vaccines have always been viewed as a low-margin business characterized by high entry barriers. Developmental and production related complexities, combined with significant fixed costs and stringent regulatory standards, have limited competition among vaccine manufacturers. In addition, these complexities have also restricted innovation in this space to a great extent. However, recent advances in biotechnology and biomanufacturing have resulted in the development of advanced technologies capable of addressing the challenges associated with manufacturing vaccines. Previously, the vaccine market was solely focused on preventive vaccines developed against infectious diseases. The advent of therapeutic vaccines has renewed interest in this field by paving way for vaccines to be developed for a variety of chronic and degenerative diseases. This has led to the entry of a number of established and emerging stakeholders who are competing for a share in this growing market segment.
It is well-known that the overall trend of outsourcing has grown significantly in the biopharmaceuticals industry. Due to the complex nature of vaccine development and manufacturing processes, both large and small stakeholders are exploring outsourcing opportunities for their products. Operational and infrastructural cost-benefits and reduced time-to-market are the major factors driving outsourcing. Manufacturing vaccines requires specialized resources and highly regulated technology platforms, which are becoming increasingly difficult to establish in-house. Although big pharma players prefer to carry out most of these processes in-house, they are gradually entering into long-term partnerships with trusted contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs). On the other hand, smaller and emerging players have been known to outsource a relatively larger share of their clinical development and commercial manufacturing processes to contract manufacturing partners. The landscape is rapidly evolving. CMOs aiming to consolidate their presence in the market are expanding their service portfolios to provide end-to-end services to their clients and sponsors.

EXAMPLE HIGHLIGHTS
1. Vaccine development and manufacturing, characterized by complex production processes and high entry barriers, is set in a highly regulated market landscape. Outsourcing has emerged as a rising trend in this domain and gained a lot of traction in the last few years. As the market continues to evolve, CMOs are rapidly enhancing their service offering to offer end-to-end services to their clients.
2. Developed regions, such as North America and Europe, currently dominate the vaccine contract manufacturing market. Of the 79 CMOs we identified, 41 have presence in multiple locations in the US. In Europe, the other major hub for CMOs, 20 CMOs have facilities located in Germany, France and the UK alone.
3. CMOs in emerging locations have also gained ground. With increasing support from local governments, many low-income geographies have restructured their indigenous regulatory landscape. Intellectual property protection laws have been made more stringent in favor of foreign sponsors looking to outsource business operations in the same regions. Established players in this market have also received the necessary qualifications and certifications to provide services in compliance with global standards.
4. Out of 79 CMOs, 21 offer end-to-end services across preclinical, clinical and commercial scale. We observed a rapid adoption of mammalian and insect production technologies among service providers.
5. The highly competitive market landscape is abuzz with partnership activity. We have identified 128 unique partnerships that were inked in the recent past. Of these, a sizeable proportion (25%) is mergers / acquisitions. We believe this trend is likely to continue in the future.
6. Technological advances are amongst the major driving factors in this market. The introduction of novel expression systems, such as the EB66® and GPEx® cell lines, and cell culture media platforms have sustained the interest of players in this field. Single use / disposable technologies, a key bio-manufacturing trend, are also becoming more and more popular among contract manufacturers. This is representative of the current market intensity.
7. Driven by increasing global demand and the rapidly expanding vaccine market, we expect the overall contract manufacturing market in this space to grow at an annualized rate of 9.8%. The rate of growth is likely to vary significantly across different segments / activities and across geographical regions.
