Global Pharmaceuticals & Medicine Manufacturing - Market Research Report (2014-2029)

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.

Pharmaceutical manufacturers have benefited from an aging population in developed economies and a growing middle class in emerging economies, which has provided a larger customer base for companies in the Global Pharmaceuticals and Medicine Manufacturing industry. Many manufacturers have also tapped into regional demand for pharmaceuticals that may differ from developed markets and have expanded their global presence to tap into regional market needs and develop relationships with government entities that can accelerate drug approval or implement high reimbursement rates. The outbreak of COVID-19 presented drug manufacturers with new opportunities; however, only very few drug manufacturers were able to participate in developing COVID-19 vaccines and therapies globally.

The industry comprises companies that manufacture biological, medicinal and pharmaceutical products in various forms, including ampoules, tablets, capsules, vials, ointments, powders, solutions and suspensions. The overall pharmaceutical market can be segmented into prescription-based, or ethical products, and over-the-counter medications. Industry products are predominantly distributed via wholesalers and are then sold via pharmacies or distributed in hospitals.
