The main aim of the report is to localise the most attractive companies for contract manufacturing or API sourcing in Central Europe:
  • Poland
  • Czech Republic
  • Slovakia
  • Romania
  • Bulgaria
  • Hungary
as well as Balkan states such as:
  • Croatia
  • Serbia
  • Slovenia.
By contract manufacturing we understand the outsourcing of pharmaceutical production of finished dosage forms. API sourcing is buying active pharmaceutical ingredients from other companies.
The report also provides an analysis of pharmaceutical outsourcing in the analysed countries and the region as a whole, describes key drivers and barriers of contract manufacturing in each country, and presents the current and future trends in contract manufacturing.

Why a report on that subject?

Did you know... 
Pharmaceutical manufacturers in Europe are obliged to use active substances which are GMP compliant.
There are numerous companies which specialise in API production in the Czech Republic.
Pharmaceutical contract manufacturing will be growing rapidly in the subsequent years.
An increasing number of companies have decided to move their production to locations in Central Europe.
Pharmaceutical companies in Serbia are eager to cooperate with large multinational players.
There are not many typical CMOS in Central Europe.
  • Many attractive companies in the region offer API and contract manufacturing
  • Region characteristics are increasingly competitive to China and India 
  • Sourcing is increasingly popular nowadays, as is contract manufacturing
  • We want to show the complex offer of such companies and help potential customers to find partners in the region 

Key topics covered

  • Characteristics of pharmaceutical contract manufacturing and API sourcing in the analysed countries
  • Key drivers and barriers of contract manufacturing and API sourcing in the analysed countries
  • Comparison to other regions, such as the Far East
  • The most attractive countries – why?
  • Key drivers and barriers of contract manufacturing in each country
  • Possibilities of manufacturing finished dosage forms
  • Possibilities of manufacturing API and fine chemicals
  • Current and future trends in contract manufacturing
  • Detailed profiles of companies that offer contract manufacturing services and produce APIs in particular countries, especially in terms of their specialisation and experience in contract manufacturing, products within contract manufacturing, additional services offered by the company, financial information, contact details, quality certificates, production capacity etc.

When will the report be useful?

  • Analysis of a potential partner offer in terms of contract manufacturing API sourcing
  • Company capabilities regarding API sourcing and contract manufacturing
  • Brief analysis of potential partners for pharmaceutical companies

Extract from this report

  • Substantial changes in manufacturing infrastructure started only a few years ago, and the global contract manufacturing market, including the CE area in question, will still be growing rapidly in subsequent years.
  • Market growth will be accelerated by the expiry of patents on several blockbusters in the next few years. This will compel large multinational companies, whose revenues are expected to decline significantly, to look for savings. One of the solutions could be the outsourcing of pharmaceutical production.
  • In 2010, 14 Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) non-compliance reports were filed on the EudraGMP database by the EU National Competent Authorities, and 12 of these resulted from inspections outside the EU.

Market commentary by expert

According to our analyses, Central European and Balkan countries offer possibilities of manufacturing not only APIs and other specialty chemicals and plant raw materials, but also various finished dosage forms of pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements, semi-finished products and biotechnology products. Within the area in question, the most attractive countries for pharmaceutical contract manufacturing and API sourcing are Poland and the Czech Republic. In each of these countries, there are several dozen companies which offer such services. There is quite strong competition from companies not just from the Far East, but also from Western Europe. On the other hand, the region seems to have considerable potential.
