The current overcapacity situation in the bio/pharmaceutical industry is a reminder that CMOs need to come up with business models and value propositions that are based on more than just selling capacity.

When a biopharmaceutical company pursues an outsourcing strategy, the choice of a contractor is a critical and strategic decision.

Cobra Biomanufacturing is an international full-service manufacturer of biopharmaceuticals, dedicated to designing robust processes that deliver biopharmaceutical products to its life sciences customers for preclinical through Phase 3 studies.

There wasn't much of a contract services industry when BioPharm International began publishing 20 years ago. Today's big names in biomanufacturing, including Lonza, Boehringer-Ingelheim, and Avecia, had not yet entered the business.

Biologics manufacturing is a technologically complex, highly regulated process. In comparison to small-molecule manufacturing, biologics manufacturing requires far more planning, investment, and skilled personnel and, therefore, can be much riskier. For biotech companies requiring such manufacturing capabilities and experience, partnering with a biologics-focused contract manufacturing organization (CMO) can be a good solution.

The three largest players have accumulated, or are in the process of accumulating, nearly a million liters of capacity between them.
