Which Driving Factors are Influencing Demand for Sterile Compounding?
Rising geriatric population and increasing longevity of customized formulations over commercially available products have surged demand for sterile compounded products. Additionally, several key players are focusing on inorganic growth strategies to innovate and develop effective products. Thus, product approvals and launches are expected to complement market growth.
- For instance, in May 2020, Central Admixture Pharmacy Services, Inc. launched three new sterile compounded suspensions. One is a sedative: Midazolam 125 mg added to NS (1mg/mL), and the other two are vasodilators: Vasopressin 50 units added to 50 mL normal saline Norepinephrine 8 mg added to 250 mL normal saline, which are in in short supply for ICU patients.
What are the Key Opportunities for Sterile Compounding Pharmacy Product Manufacturers?
Focusing on several factors such as developing customized formulations in ground-breaking forms, varying dosages for different indications, can make customized formulations more popular across the globe. Upcoming areas include geriatric and long-term care drugs and innovative hormone replacement therapy applications.
Additionally, growing regulatory compliance has led manufacturers to invest hugely in the pharmaceutical industry. On 27th November 2013, the Drug Quality and Security Act (DQSA) was signed into law to minimize safety risks related to pharmacy compounding and improve regulation of compounding pharmacies.
Thus, such regulations are expected to offer lucrative opportunities for investors as a result of increasing sales of sterile compounded solutions.
Growing innovations have resulted in it becoming easier to conduct sterile compounding for specialty drugs.
- For instance, COMECER S.p.A. introduced an automated and patented device – Pharmoduct - used for the preparation of sterile formulations and personalized oncology drugs, including chemotherapy and biologicals.
What is Expected to Impede Demand for Sterile Compounding?
There are various barriers that manufacturers have to face while investing in the sterile compounding industry.
The primary factor restraining usage of sterile compounded formulations is unsafe compounding practices, which include contamination and non-adherence to GMP regulations during the compounding process. Contaminated sterile environments lead to the spread of pathogens and fungal infections, which have resulted in various hazards and drug-related deaths, thus dampening the prospects for demand for sterile dosage forms.
Additionally, Exacerbating API’s shortage and quick flotation of compounding pharmacies may also hamper market growth and adoption of sterile preparations over the coming years.
