New Drug Approvals and their Contract Manufacture Report Overview

In 2022, the FDA approved 109 new drug applications (NDAs) and biologics license applications (BLAs). The overall number of approvals is eight lower when compared to 2021. Both small molecule and biologic new molecular entity (NME) approvals declined substantially, causing overall NDA approvals to drop, which meant fewer commercial-scale production contracts for the most innovative products compared to other recent years. Small cap companies’ (market cap $300M–2B) and private companies’ NDA approvals were relatively high in 2022, with 15 and 42 FDA approvals, respectively. In recent years, COVID-19 vaccine drives have allowed economies and societies to safely reopen during the pandemic. However, new challenges such as rising inflation will bring uncertainty to the ongoing global recovery. The pharma industry faces increasing cost pressures, shrinking consumer spending power, staff shortages, and geopolitical tensions.

The new drug approvals and their contract manufacture report is the 13th edition of a long-running analysis of the CMO industry, using the FDA’s NDA approvals as the primary indicator of performance. New Drug Approvals and Their Contract Manufacture (formerly called “CMO Scorecard”) is critical for benchmarking the performance of the contract manufacturing organization (CMO) industry and the relative performance of major CMOs. This year’s edition includes a discussion of Emergency Use Approvals for COVID-19 and how inflation has impacted pharma manufacturers.

New Drug Approvals and their Contract Manufacture – Key Trends

The main trends that affected FDA drug approvals and their manufacturing in 2022 are classified into three categories: approval types, increased outsourcing, and changing business environment.

Approval types: Record cell/gene therapy approvals continue 2021’s strong performance, huge drop in FDA approvals for NMEs, and biologic NME approvals outnumbered small molecules in 2022 are some of the top approval type trends in new drug approvals and their contract manufacture study.

Increased outsourcing: Domination of dose outsourcing by a few key CMOs, higher biologic NME outsourcing than for small molecule equivalents, and more reliance on nano and micro cap sponsors on CMOs are some of the increased outsourcing trends boosting new drug approvals and their contract manufacture.

Changing business environment: The impact of inflation on pharma manufacturing and shifts in market demand are likely to impact the new drug approvals and their contract manufacture. In addition, although many of the vaccines will still generate blockbuster revenues, sales will decrease, as will the volumes of production. COVID-19 vaccines and treatments will still represent lucrative contracts for CMOs, but with production volumes dwindling and manufacturing relationships becoming well-established, are less profitable than in earlier stages of the pandemic.

New Drug Approvals and their Contract Manufacture – Value Chain Insights

The contract manufacturing industry’s value chain is simplified into three main segments, beginning with API, dose form manufacturing, and packaging. API is the starting point and can have big implications on which dosage forms or packaging are used later in the process. For instance, if there were a greater number of contract service agreements being made for biologic API manufacture, this would have major implications for injectable dose form manufacturing and packaging.

Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
