SPECIAL SERIES: INSIGHTS FROM BIOPLAN'S ANNUAL SURVEY
BioPlan Associates surveys hundreds of professionals from biopharma companies, vendors, and direct suppliers involved in every stage of the biopharmaceutical manufacturing process. The most recent survey’s findings are published in BioPlan’s 20th Annual Report and Survey of Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing Capacity and Production. This collection of articles, produced in partnership with BioPlan experts, taps into selected insights from the report.
In 2023, biomanufacturers showed an increasing interest in continuous manufacturing, but uptake, believe it or not, slowed down. Let’s explore the reasons why with data from BioPlan Associates.
Downstream bottlenecks are a growing problem for legacy chromatography processes that can't keep pace with more robust upstream output. BioPlan has been tracking alternatives and discusses them here.
BioPlan's 2023 Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing Report shows an increasing demand for single-use and modular manufacturing systems for traditional biologics like mAbs. It also confirms that these technologies become even more critical for advanced therapeutics where small-scale applications may be the only option.
It might surprise no one that BioPlan Associates' 20th annual survey on manufacturing found an increased dependence on contract manufacturing. The sheer rate at which demand has grown, however, is stunning, and the survey found CDMO capacity is only now starting to catch up with supply.
Results from BioPlan's "20th Annual Report of Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing and Production" show that lasting sustainability strategies should focus on profitability aspects. That's because, even more than a spirit of stewardship, financial advantages provide a powerful incentive to stick to the plan.
