Pharmaceutical API manufacturing
2020-07-29
The role of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) manufacturers in the pharmaceutical industry supply chain is evolving in response to newfound demands from customers and growing pressures from global competitors. Increasingly, innovators are looking beyond their usual group of closely-knit European suppliers. Meanwhile, traditional generic companies are looking to India and China for bulk actives, while specialty pharma companies have generated new demands for more specialized capabilities than those required by traditional generics. In order to remain competitive, API manufacturers will need to attune themselves to this evolving landscape.
