Active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) for biologics are witnessing rapid growth as pharmaceutical companies focus on the development of advanced therapeutics.

Recommended Buyer's Guides

APIs biologics were traditionally manufactured by large pharmaceutical companies in-house. However, recent trends indicate a shift towards outsourcing to contract manufacturing organisations to take advantage of their expertise.

API biologics contract manufacturing companies can support pharmaceutical companies, especially small biotech companies, to scale up the manufacturing of their products.

Trends in API biologics contract manufacturing

The patent expiry of various blockbuster drugs and rising investments in advanced therapeutic products has boosted the growth of API biologics and their outsourcing to contract manufacturers.

Contract manufacturers need to expand their capabilities to cater to the unique and specific demands of pharmaceutical companies by investing in the latest technologies. The use of single-use technology in biomanufacturing, for example, helps in achieving cost reduction, increasing productivity and saving energy.

Contract manufacturing organisations also need to invest in providing end-to-end supplier services as the complexity and demand for biologic APIs is projected to grow in the future.
