INTRODUCTION
STUDY OBJECTIVE
BCC Research’s objective in conducting this study is to provide an overview of the current and future global pharmaceutical contract manufacturing, research and packaging markets. The study provides a global as well as a regionally specific market overview. The key objective is to present a comprehensive analysis of the current and future direction of contract manufacturing, research and packaging as an important tool for a company’s growth and financial stability and as a way to overcome various trade barriers. It also addresses the role of these organizations in reducing costs, meeting strict regulatory requirements globally, dealing with the effects of patent expiries on market share and in competing in a highly competitive and tough business environment.
A detailed analysis of the industry structure of contract manufacturing, contract research and contract packaging has been conducted. Revenues are broken down by type of industry. Sales figures are estimated for the five-year period from 2013 through 2018.
Applications and various formulations for which contract manufacturing, research and packaging are widely used are also discussed separately in the report. The report also takes into account various new developments and regulatory aspects in this industry. The report also covers significant patents in each category.
REASONS FOR DOING THIS STUDY
Comprehensive research in the fields of contract manufacturing, contract research and contract packaging has revealed their benefits in various industries.
