Response to Changing Market (Industry Interviews)
• Traditional industry model of large volume manufacturing changing
• New model calls for innovation and diversification:– Integrating late stage development (process optimisation, scaling-up of existing
product, registration) with manufacturing and supply– Headquarter activities and commercial services
A partnership approach with health services– A partnership approach with health services – Clinical trials– Move to personalised medicine and niche products including biologics, OTC products– Innovation in delivery mechanisms such as self-injecting pens y j g p– Converging products – IT, medical devices– Contract research and manufacturing– Increased efficiency and speed to market
