In competitive world of pharmaceuticals, companies are always looking for ways to efficiently and economically bring quality medicines to the market. One such popular approach is known as third party pharma manufacturing. This blog will discuss third party pharma manufacturing and how it can help pharma brands expand their product range without spending money on infrastructure and production.
Also referred to as contract manufacturing, it is a type of business model in which pharmaceutical companies contract out their product manufacturing to outside manufacturers. Thus, these outside third party manufacturers produce the medicines in accordance with the specifications provided by the client, package the product under the client’s brand and meet regulatory standards.
The contract manufacturing model is especially popular in India as it has become a global leader in third party pharmaceutical manufacturing; the country exhibits nearly complete infrastructure for manufacturing, has inexpensive labor costs, as well as follows international quality standards.
Choosing this gives pharmaceutical brands several strategic advantages. Following are the some of the best advantages:
Having a facility for pharmaceutical manufacturing has significant upfront costs with regard to land, machinery, skilled people, compliance approvals and more. For many companies, especially start-ups and SMEs, these costs are barriers. Third party pharma manufacturing allows private companies to avoid those unnecessary capital costs, while still being able to offer a full product line under their label.
Third party pharma manufacturers in India have GMP-WHO certified units, new technologies and educated people. Additionally, these manufacturer pride themselves on their quality control processes and follow national and international standards.
One of the biggest advantages of using third party pharma manufacturing from a consumer point of view, is the ability for scaling their products based as per demand. Whether a brand needs smaller quantities of a specialty product or larger quantities of market medicinal products, contract manufacturers can scale their manufacturing to meet the needs of the brand.
Launching a new manufacturing unit or production line can take several months or even years. Third party pharma manufacturing helps pharma brands enter the market faster. This is because third party manufacturers have the facility, staff and processes, already established which allows them to begin production the moment they receive the product formulation.
Outsourcing their production allows pharmaceutical brands to focus on what they do best, which is branding, marketing and communicating with customers. With a third party pharma manufacturer, clients can focus their attention on market expansion, sales improvements and building relationships with health care professionals.
Third party manufacturers will typically also have ready-to-go formulations in all therapeutic areas of medicine. This provides pharmaceutical brands the opportunity to diversify its portfolio without needing to invest in R&D as an owned operation and avoiding the length of time it takes to create formulations from scratch.
