💊 Amidst tightening R&D spends, outsourcing development work to CDMOs can be a good way to improve the efficiency of drug development. However, the CDMO market is highly competitive and care must be taken to select the right business to scale-up with. Our data team has tracked over 500 CDMOs in operating in the pharma space alone. Key advantages of working with a CDMO include: • Access to advanced and specialised technologies that significantly improve production outcomes. • Reduced need for acquiring technologies, people, and large scale manufacturing assets in-house. • Expertise in navigating complex regulatory frameworks, facilitating smoother and more efficient approval processes. • Enhanced communication strategies, which promote collaboration and minimise time-to-market risks. Get in touch with Matthew Wise for more insights about the CDMO landscape. #Pharmaceuticals #DrugDevelopment #CDMO

About us
CCD Partners is a chemicals and life sciences corporate development consultancy. Business leaders (owners, CEOs, and investors) use us to boost their existing in-house pool of talent with the specialist experience and resources needed to deliver transformative corporate development projects. In general, what we do can be divided between "sell-side" projects (e.g. raising capital, divesting a subsidiary, founder succession, exits/sales), "buy-side" projects (e.g. investments and acquisitions), and "internal development" projects (e.g. recruitment, strategic intelligence, traditional consulting). Our ability to combine highly specialist resources from multiple fields, tailored to the needs of each project, allows our clients to uncover, evaluate, and pursue opportunities and strategic potential that would otherwise be out of reach. contact@ccdpartners.com

🔬 US-based CDMOs are pivoting to find an alternative region for outsourcing. China is a core hub for US pharma outsourcing due to its low costs and skilled chemists. 🌏 Rising geopolitical tensions and the US Biosecure Act (a legislation that restricts firms receiving federal funds from using certain Chinese service providers) are driving CDMOs to explore alternatives. India is stepping up, investing in infrastructure and talent to attract western clients. Indian firms are increasingly restructuring supply chains after pandemic-driven disruptions and pressure to reduce reliance on China. Often, the idea of being an alternative source is as a key part of their marketing messaging. Though some question India’s ability to fully replace China, Indian CDMOs are determined to become key players in global pharma. 💊 #CDMOs #PharmaNews #CDMO #CRO #PharmaValueChain
