Pharmaceutical Manufacturing and Packing Sourcer

In 2011, a man was jailed for eight years for conducting counterfeit medicine fraud that amounted to a retail value of £4.7 million. As a result of him being able to infiltrate the pharmaceutical supply chain, 25,000 packets of counterfeit medication reached pharmacies and patients all over the UK. These knock-off tablets were used to treat heart disease, pancreatic cancer, and mental illnesses and had none, or only part, of the active ingredient they were supposed to contain. Sadly, this meant that those people’s illnesses were left to take their course.
Unfortunately, while tremendous effort goes into ensuring the effective operation of every pharma supply chain, the losses are staggering. With the global counterfeit drug market worth £154 billion and one million people dying due to fake medicine around the world each year, a reliable supply chain is paramount. Enter: blockchain. While blockchain harnesses a plethora of benefits, addressing its shortcomings is necessary to ensure that implementation of the technology can be utilised to its full effect.

Analysis of Biopharmaceuticals to Conform to ICHQ6B
RSSL
Worldwide, the pharmaceuticals market is anticipated to grow from more than USD 782 billion in 2011 to approach a value of just over USD 971 billion by the end of 2016, registering a CAGR of over 24%. In 2010 the average medicines expenditure per person within the UK was £271, and this is expected to increase with the ageing population. A significant and increasing proportion of these sales are protein-based biotherapeutics or biomolecules. Currently, these account for 19% of the total market, and are growing at twice the rate of traditional small molecule pharmaceuticals. It is predicted that close to 50% of the top 100 pharmaceutical products will be biomolecules by 2016. By far the largest segment of the biopharmaceutical market is the monoclonal antibody (MAb) with an estimated share of 25.6%, which corresponds to USD 51.1 billion.
