BIOLOGICS FILL FINISH SERVICES MARKET: GROWTH AND TRENDS
Biopharmaceuticals, commonly referred to as biologics, are a class of therapeutic products that are either derived from living organisms or semi-synthesized from biological sources. Unlike traditional small molecules, these macromolecules are complex and are developed to target specific protein receptors in the body. It is worth mentioning that, over the years, these therapies have gained immense popularity owing to their favorable therapeutic outcomes demonstrated across various therapeutic areas, such as oncological disorders, infectious diseases and neurovascular disorders. Further, the evolution of drug development process has led to technical advancements that have further streamlined the entire process of manufacturing these complex biologics. However, it is worth noting that the biopharmaceutical industry has dealt with several challenges, in terms of inadequate capital investments, sterility issues, and stringent quality standards imposed by different regulatory authorities globally. As a result, outsourcing of manufacturing and fill / finish operations for biologics has emerged as a suitable option to meet the evolving demand of the industry. Driven by the growing demand for biologics and technological advancements (such as use of automation and robotics) in fill finish operations, the biologics fill finish manufacturing market is anticipated to witness substantial market growth, during the forecast period.
