This outlook identifies the trends shaping the global pharmaceutical landscape. The growth of the global pharmaceutical industry will plateau in 2023 due to a slowdown of the biologics segment as a result of a decrease in the uptake of COVID-19 vaccines and therapeutics. Market growth will be low in the United States and Europe and highest in the A...

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 ...

New technological advances in life science instrumentation and research tools include the enhancement of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology, digital PCR, and a wide range of informatics, robotics, and automated solutions. These improve workflow, facilitate and automate tasks, and make better use of workspaces in every area of industry. ...

Accelerated reforms due to COVID-19 and technologically advanced sample-in-answer-out portable, web-connected, encrypted devices that provide results in a few minutes changed the diagnostic healthcare industry. Decentralized testing empowers clinicians to make lifesaving decisions for the patient. It shortens supply chain lag time, saves costs of i...

Medicine production supply chains are currently operating under huge stress due to the war in Ukraine, COVID-19-related disruptions, logistics bottlenecks, and inflation. An energy-related shutdown of production would have a detrimental effect on the supply of critical medicines to patients in the EU and worldwide. The excessive amount of pressure ...

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are therapies that target cancer cells with antigen-specific antibodies and highly toxic payloads. ADCs are currently generating interest among drug developers, contract manufacturing companies, regulatory agencies, and other stakeholders. The rise in the number of drug approvals has also sparked interest in further ...

As clinical pipelines globally witness a surge in novel complex therapies, the clinical trial industry demands new tools in predictive analytics to improve trial design, planning, and execution. Artificial intelligence is gaining large-scale recognition as support for decentralized trial designs, thus enabling patient-centric clinical trial designs...

RNA therapeutics and vaccines have been around for a long time, but the COVID-19 pandemic enabled their mass-market commercialization. Industry players saw mRNA vaccines developed for COVID-19 as effective for reducing the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in populations. Moderna emerged as the first player to develop and commercialize an mRNA vaccine...

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, molecular diagnostics mergers/acquisition transactions and product launches for infectious disease testing are indicating a pivot toward a new direction or an enhancement of portfolios. The emergence of saliva sample testing and the transition to PCR-based syndromic and direct-to-consumer testing for respir...
