Market Insights – Smart Life Sciences Manufacturing Market

The pharmaceutical segment is a key contributor to the global industrial sector. Moreover, the demand and sales of medicine are increasing every day. Thus, pharmaceutical manufacturing businesses invest huge amounts of economic resources in R&D for bringing innovations to markets. Technology upgrades are the key to tackling future manufacturing problems. With this, the Pharma 4.0 market is gaining huge attention worldwide. In June 2022, GSK, a British Big Pharma, inaugurated its new aseptic smart manufacturing plant in Barnard Castle, England. This fully automated plant leverages digitalization to streamline the manufacturing process. This, in turn, would allow GSK to accelerate the launch of new medicines while cutting down on waste. In December 2020, Bayer AG announced the launch of a Cell and Gene Therapy Platform within its Pharmaceuticals division. This platform will combine multiple backbone functions for providing support across the entire value chain of the research and development of cell and gene therapies. In November 2020, the UK started building a “factory of the future” to renovate small-molecule drug production. Drugmakers, academic institutions, healthcare providers, and regulators are expected to come together at the facility to test and improve new technologies, including continuous, digital, and autonomous manufacturing. Hence, the growing adoption of digital transformation is expected to boost the smart life sciences manufacturing market size.

Component-Based Insights

The smart life sciences manufacturing market, by component, is bifurcated into solutions and services.
