Evolving Use of Fermentation Techniques for Developing Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients Creating Opportunities

The overall pharmaceutical industry has been changing and developing at a rapid pace with several manufacturing firms struggling with massive challenges caused by high market growth, frequently changing regulations, novel therapy and medicine forms as well as progressing digitization.

To address such challenges, pharmaceutical medicine’s manufacturers are increasingly mimicking already existing manufacturing equipment to further transfer them to contract manufacturing service providers. Being the core for production of a wide range of pharmaceutical based products, microbial fermentation has frequently evolved in recent past.

As a result several pharmaceutical manufacturers are deriving medical products from fermented products encompassing active pharmaceutical ingredients (API), which is further creating demand for contract pharmaceutical fermentation services for bulk supply.

The growing adoption of microbial fermentation as a production method for therapeutic proteins, fragmented antibodies, intermediates, peptides, etc., has become an optimal economic route for pharmaceutical companies to meet production demand and market delivery time.

This burgeoning demand for fermentation processes in tandem with the rapidly expanding pharmaceutical industry are likely to fuel growth in contract pharmaceutical fermentation services market in forthcoming years.

Growing Demand for Time-Efficient Drug Development to Underpin Market Growth

Though the pharmaceutical industry is rapidly changing and accelerating, the basic understanding of diverse diseases at a molecular level is improving constantly. This growing understanding of different diseases is further accelerating the demand for faster production.

Amid the burgeoning production demand, several pharmaceutical companies are increasingly collaborating with contract pharmaceutical fermentation services’ providers to introduce innovative molecules in the market. Further the growing prevalence of diverse diseases, such as cancer, anemia, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, etc., is likely to boost demand for diverse pharmaceutical products with applications in disease management.

This widespread prevalence of diseased population that is constantly requiring therapies and treatment is triggering the demand for time-efficient drug production.

As contract pharmaceutical fermentation service’s providers offer reduced time-to-market for various key pharmaceutical products by collaborating with molecule owners and giving platforms for time-efficient drug development and other analytical services, their demand is set to grow. This growing trend is likely to trigger growth in contract pharmaceutical fermentation services market during the forecast period.

Complexities Associated with Contract Pharmaceutical Fermentation Services Dampening Market Growth

Despite extensive utilization of fermentation processes, the technology is yet to gain maturity like chemical synthesis, in terms of adoption of mathematical models and optimization techniques.

The significant fermentation challenges, such as scale up and scale down fermentation, controlling insightful process parameters, mass transfer, and establishing novel sensors have been restraining market growth. Further the challenges associated with advanced therapy medicinal products that demand thoughtful and appropriate facility design and equipment continue to hinder contract pharmaceutical fermentation services market growth.

As contract pharmaceutical fermentation services need huge capital investment for set-ups and fulfilling technical staff requirements, several market players deal with large-scale fermentation challenges. Such challenges are likely to hamper growth in contract pharmaceutical fermentation services market in forthcoming years.

Growing Need for Differentiation and Biosimilar and Biologic Manufacturing Presenting Strong Growth Opportunities

With manifold manufacturers, contract pharmaceutical fermentation services market remains highly fragmented, propelling service providers to seek novel and innovative ways of differentiating their services from counterparts.

Amid the rigorous competition in contract pharmaceutical fermentation services market, the service providers are increasingly focusing on value-added services which is likely to bring tremendous changes in the market, thereby paving way for growth opportunities.
