Contract manufacturing refers to the outsourcing of certain development and / or manufacturing services to a third-party service provider. This involves the production of goods by one company, under the label or brand of another company. Notably, commonly outsourced processes by pharma clients include formulation design, dosage form development, clinical / commercial production, packaging, and distribution. Interestingly, the modern pipeline of drug candidates is getting more complex, thus requiring specialized facilities, equipment, and operational expertise. The number of patients suffering from chronic diseases has also increased significantly, resulting in incessant demand for advanced medicines. In order to meet this growing demand, several small players and certain pharma giants, have begun outsourcing their manufacturing operations to contract service providers. Technological advances and market demand for novel therapeutics have continued to evolve. CMOs are navigating emerging trends, by including personalized therapeutics, continuous manufacturing processes, and digital health integration techniques. By embracing innovation, sustainability, and collaborative approaches, pharmaceutical CMOs will significantly contribute to the healthcare domain in the coming years.
