The biopharmaceutical industry is experiencing significant growth, driven by the increasing demand for innovative treatments for diseases like cancer and HIV. This growth necessitates specialized manufacturing processes and equipment, leading to higher costs and longer setup times for production facilities.
Key segments within the industry include generic drugs, chemically derived drugs, biosimilars, biologics, and over-the-counter (OTC) medications, each with unique market dynamics and opportunities. Effective market segmentation is now crucial for biopharmaceutical companies to optimize their marketing strategies and enhance product reach.
