METHODOLOGY
This report is the 23rd in our annual evaluations of the state of the biopharmaceutical
manufacturing (bioprocessing) industry. The strength of this study’s methodology remains in its
breadth of coverage, which yields a composite view from the respondents closest to the industry,
its 23-year longevity, industry familiarity and high response rates. These permit a consistent
approach which delivers reliable data and analysis.
Note, “biopharmaceutical” here refers to the classic biotechnology-grounded definition:
involving manufacture of pharmaceuticals using biotechnology/bioprocessing. The term does
not refer to the entire pharmaceutical industry or just those parts considered innovative, with
“biopharmaceutical” now simply commonly substituted where “pharmaceutical” or “drug” were
formerly used.
This year, BioPlan Associates, Inc. surveyed 300 qualified and responsible individuals at
biopharmaceutical manufacturers and contract manufacturing organizations in 21 countries
plus 121 industry vendors and direct suppliers of materials, services, and equipment to this
industry segment. Using a web-based survey tool, we obtained and evaluated information
including regarding respondents’ current capacity, production, novel technology adoption, human
resources, quality, and outsourcing issues. We also assessed respondents’ projected reasons for
bottlenecks, and their perception of how these bottlenecks might be resolved.
This year, we continue to include new questions and chapters, including Artificial Intelligence
Use and Applications, Continuous Bioprocessing and Process Intensification (Chapter 11.) Over
the past few years, advances in technologies, platforms, expression systems, and single-use
applications have increasingly made the bioprocessing segment an area of interest for such
innovation.
We continue to partner with worldwide media and membership organizations to ensure a high
response rate, and the most accurate overview of the worldwide biopharmaceutical industry
and its bioprocessing sector. Our industry partners are cited in our acknowledgments section.
In addition, to supporting this coverage, we also acknowledge our media partners, whose
assistance enables us to reach the many high-quality respondents required for this quantitative
survey and analysis.
