Growing product portfolio complexity è Increased need for flexibility

and specialized capabilities

Growing technological complexity è Increasingly diverse

technology and need to increase internal expertise

Severe pressure on margins è Increased need to reduce COGS

and justify capex investments

More stringent and complex regulatory requirements è Upgrades/investment required to

meet compliance audits

More dynamic market environment è Develop/launch products quickly;

Respond to pricing, supply changes

Total attractiveness

Key highlights (pros and cons)

• Lowest wages for skilled labor in the region

• Political and economic stability for a relatively short time compared to neighboring countries

• Significantly outnumbers country peers in call center and ITO industries, though it has a strong domestic focus

• Limited number of English and Spanish speakers

• Remarkable stability of political and business environment

• Limited availability of professionals fluent in English

• Closest to the United States

• More developed market for BPO in the region, especially in finance and accounting

• Key costs (salary, real estate) are higher than most peers

• Stable economy with available labor

• Reputation impact although crime rates in Bogotá are lower than in São Paulo, the country’s reputation reduces the inflow of investments

• Very good bilingual skills

• Strong presence of large international (captive) service centers and vendors

• Limited workforce availability given population size and potential saturation

Changing Dynamics in Mfg Outsourcing What is the industry looking for?

Changing industry dynamics... Approach to creating value

Contract manufacturing

Traditional Drivers • Capacity: companies unwilling/unable to

hold capacity to buffer demand surges • Risk: new drug attrition; manage risky

investments in production facilities • Flexibility: shorten time to market

New Drivers • Operating Costs: Increasing price pressure

forcing lower operating costs • Regulations: Increasingly complex mfg

regulatory and documentation issues • Emerging markets: Need to establish

presence in growing markets • Virtual companies: Small biopharma

companies (R&D only capabilities)

•  Depth of experience

•  Proprietary / specific technology (process or drug delivery system)

•  Confidentiality

•  Cost effective network

•  Highly qualified organization (project managers, technical capability)

•  Complexity management capability

Is Latin American pharmaceutical manufacturing industry ready to be a global competitor? Some Leaders Perspective “I agree with your vision about Latin America’s potential to be a key global competitor of outsourcing pharmaceutical services in the next decade. We bring a number of strengths such as excellence in service, quality and a significantly lower cost than the one from developed countries. …Two key areas of opportunities to strengthen our global competitiveness are production infrastructure and process controls...”

JP Bago, President Laboratorios Bago- Argentina “I see a tremendous effort in Latin America to improve the regulatory environment and improve global competitiveness of the region A tangible result of these efforts is the creation of the "Good Clinical Practices: Document of the Americas' from PAHO/PANDRH .”

P Seligman, MD Director of the FDA Latin America Regional Office

“The two key challenges that LA is facing to improve its global competitiveness are : 1. Sub optimal scale of manufacturing plants that prevents them from yielding globally competitive costs. 2. Lengthy, complex, people dependant regulatory approval process that is not aligned with the agility required to meet current emerging market dynamics.”

Is Latin American pharmaceutical manufacturing industry ready to be a global competitor? Some Leaders Perspective “In Argentina, we need to address our scale as well as our technological capabilities. In response, there is an ongoing effort to build a state of the art laboratory supported by private investment of 13 domestic firms and the Argentinean Ministry of Science and Technology. It is a collective effort to provide advanced analytical and product development technology to promote innovation that otherwise could not be afforded by individual companies.”

Dr. Marcelo Carlos Nacucchio, Professor- Academia Nacional de Farmacia y Bioquímica, BA, Argentina

“Each country in LA brings different capabilities to offer outsourcing services of pharmaceutical development and commercial manufacturing. Argentina in particular is prepared to offer product development services specially in the development of innovative drug delivery systems. There are not enough incentives to invest in commercial scale manufacturing to compete globally. Key challenges to become a global competitor: Need to strengthen public policy to enforce Intellectual Property Laws and Regulatory controls.”

Dr. Rodolfo Rubio-Garcia, Associate Director, BioEliga Consulting, Argentina

Key Considerations to achieve global competitiveness •  Manufacturing Scale

–  Challenge to align scale with global markets requirements

•  Cultural transformation –  Quality and technical perspective

•  Embrace conceptual global regulatory/ technical advances on PAT, ICH, QbD

•  Regulatory standards harmonization FDA, EMEA, ICH

•  Enforcement of Regulatory and IP laws •  Local Salary taxes (Brazil)

Page 30: Strategies and Opportunities of Outsourcing -Product Development and Manufacturing Services FROM Latin America-Business and Technical Perspectives on OTC, Pharmaceutical and Animal

30

Addressing the gaps for an effective contract manufacturing relationship •  Due diligence

–  Risk assessment –  Cost/benefit

•  Collaborative relationships to address technical and regulatory gaps

•  Mutual accountability

Page 31: Strategies and Opportunities of Outsourcing -Product Development and Manufacturing Services FROM Latin America-Business and Technical Perspectives on OTC, Pharmaceutical and Animal

31

Concluding thoughts •  Latin America has potential capabilities to capture global outsourcing

opportunities for product development and pharmaceutical manufacturing –  Brazil and Mexico - Biotech –  Argentina - Development of drug delivery systems

Page 32: Strategies and Opportunities of Outsourcing -Product Development and Manufacturing Services FROM Latin America-Business and Technical Perspectives on OTC, Pharmaceutical and Animal

32

Concluding thoughts •  Latin America has potential capabilities to capture global outsourcing

opportunities for product development and pharmaceutical manufacturing

•  Commercial manufacturing scale needs to be developed to produce cost that are competitive at a global scale however the currently available scale could be used –  a) to serve emerging markets requiring similar volume as LA markets –  b) to capitalize product development capabilities to enable post LOE

strategies

Page 33: Strategies and Opportunities of Outsourcing -Product Development and Manufacturing Services FROM Latin America-Business and Technical Perspectives on OTC, Pharmaceutical and Animal

33

Concluding thoughts •  Latin America has potential capabilities to capture global outsourcing

opportunities for product development and pharmaceutical manufacturing

•  Commercial manufacturing scale needs to be developed to produce cost that are competitive at a global scale however the currently available scale could be used

•  Ongoing efforts to harmonize regulatory standards, active collaboration between FDA and local regulatory agencies will have a positive effect on the LA global competitiveness

•  Synergistic collaboration of regulators, industry leaders, academia and government is required to address the gaps and promote the use of LA capabilities to provide outsourcing pharmaceutical manufacturing services

•  Promotion of Low Cost pharmaceutical R&D is required to address unmet needs of neglected regional diseases.
