Pharmaceutical Manufacturing and Packing Sourcer
|
As PMPS passes its five year milestone may I welcome you to this Winter 2003 issue. So much has happened in the world of pharmaceutical manufacturing since the first issue in 1998, especially with the gathering pace of outsourcing. I'm delighted to be able to look back with a sense of pride at how much has been achieved, while looking forward to the next five years with anticipation. PMPS has kept in tune with developments as the market has steadily grown, with an increase in the number of contract manufacturing organisations (CMOs), business transactions and the number of employees working in the sector. The type of contract business has also diversified, with a trend towards an increase in the outsourcing of development activities needed to get products to market
faster. I say there has been a steady growth because it would be a gross exaggeration to suggest a growth rate of the market for development outsourcing of 25 per cent per year.
Figures of that magnitude, plucked out of thin air create unrealistic expectations and do little to enhance the reputation of this sector. For example, we have seen what happened with biotech when unfulfilled predictions turned sour. I'm conscious of a painful recession in biotech as sentiment plunged from the heady days of the market in 2000, driven as it was by so much hyperbole. Nevertheless, I remain optimistic about outsourcing as we look forward to the next Bio/PharMOS event with an exhibition and conference for manufacturing outsourcing services on 23rd-25th March 2004.
