8th Annual Report and Survey of Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing Capacity and Production

The 2011 8th Annual Report and Survey of Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing Capacity and Production is the most recent study of biotherapeutic developers and contract manufacturing organizations' current and projected future capacity and production. This year's 8th Annual Report and Survey of Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing shows the industry has returned to robust growth. Based on analysis of 352 global biomanufacturers' 2011 budgets, expect substantial investment in new technologies that:

  • Reduce costs and improve productivity
  • Focus on novel downstream technologies
  • Improve single-use device adoption rates

This year, among the 100s of significant findings: Budgets are growing in all areas measured, but the great majority are continuing to actively implement cost-cutting initiatives; a broad range of new products are being demanded from industry vendors to solve productivity problems, especially in single use and chromatography areas.
