CMOs offer a wide array of manufacturing services to the pharmaceutical and biopharma industries. These services can range from production of small quantities of materials for R&D purposes, larger amounts for clinical study usage and ultimately full-scale production for commercial purposes. The global contract manufacturing market primarily includes solid and liquid dosage forms and injectables. The growing use of generic drugs and complex pharmaceutical products has also induced many CMOs to offer active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) manufacturing services to their clients.
