全球連續製藥市場:增長機會Global Pharmaceutical Continuous Manufacturing Market, Growth Opportunities |
連續製造可以幫助製藥公司顯著加快其化學和製造過程,縮短整體製造時間表,尤其是對於關鍵的救命藥物。 製藥行業已將該技術應用於有限的過程,例如可能含有有毒試劑的批處理過程以及涉及電化學和光化學反應的放大反應。 通過引入過程分析技術 (PAT) 和數字孿生等技術改進實時決策,將能夠更好地控制批次和 CM 等製造過程。
本報告審視了全球製藥連續製造市場,並提供了市場概覽、戰略要務、增長機會等。
Regulatory Acceptance Propelling Continuous Manufacturing Investments through Partnerships and In-house Expansions
Continuous manufacturing (CM) is a method for manufacturing end-to-end pharmaceutical products on a single, uninterrupted production line. While batch manufacturing requires transporting, testing, and refeeding materials from one process to the next, continuous processes execute all testing, feeding, and processing inline at a single manufacturing site. The global pharma industry is slowly shifting its focus from primary care to specialty medicine and rare diseases. To modify research and development (R&D) models to address and adapt to challenges associated with rare, ultra-rare, and specialty diseases, the strategy is changing from being present in a few large segments to many small segments and exploring new disease areas with high unmet needs.
CM helps pharma companies significantly speed up the chemistry and manufacturing processes, which can cut down on the overall manufacturing timelines, especially in critical life-saving drugs. To date, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the manufacture of over 7 drugs using continuous processes, which started off from only one product less than 4 years ago. In 2020 alone, the FDA approved 4 new drugs to be manufactured using CM. Alongside the FDA, health authorities in Canada, Europe, Australia, Japan, Switzerland, and New Zealand have approved CM application for the production of solid oral dosage forms, indicating the growing acceptance of the technology worldwide.
With such nascent technology, the pharma industry has been applying the technique for processes that are off limits for batch processes, which might include toxic reagents, and for scale-up reactions that include electrochemical or photochemical reactions. Implementing technologies, such as process analytical technology (PAT) and digital twins, for improved real-time decision making will allow for the better control of manufacturing processes, including batch and CM.
Considering the large-scale benefits of flexibility and timeline management and a quantifiable reduction in the cost of manufacturing through automated processes and better resource management, CM is expected to witness large-scale adoption in the form of integrated processes. Furthermore, the ecosystem is currently focused on pharma companies that take the majority share, in terms of setting up facilities. Contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs), however, are slowly expanding their facilities by collaborating with CM platform vendors, with system integrators and automation experts providing additional support in the optimization manufacturing value chain. In the coming years, as the regulatory and operational benefits become more realized, CDMOs and pharma companies will likely continue enhancing and building their CM capabilities and expertise to remain competitive.
