Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/6d074d/pharmaceutical_con) has announced the addition of the "Pharmaceutical Contract Manufacturing - Global Market Trends" report to their offering.
Global pharma industry faces numerous challenges in the form of increasing competition in generic markets, rising cost of new product development, declining research and development (R&D) productivity, shrinking average patent life, and mounting governmental pressure to reduce drug prices. Given the backdrop of such a competitive landscape, the decisive factors for growth and sustainability are faster new drug development and cost containment with Pharmaceutical Contract Manufacturing emerging as a strategic option offering several advantages. Firstly, outsourcing provides pharma companies the opportunity to avail flexibility, quicker time to market, and lower scale-up costs. Thus, companies will be able to meet growing demand for new drugs and focus on their core competencies. Secondly, outsourcing enables companies to reduce excess capacity in their manufacturing networks and restructure supply chains. Finally, value-added outsourcing services meet the increased demand for specialized manufacturing capabilities in key technical niches (such as lyophilization) and increased demand for back-up sources of supply.
These and other market data and trends are presented in "Pharmaceutical Contract Manufacturing: Global Market Trends" by BizAcumen, Inc. Our reports are designed to be most comprehensive in geographic coverage and vertical market analyses.
