Top 10 Global CDMO in 2022

 In recent years, the global CDMO industry has maintained steady growth. In terms of revenue, Switzerland's Lonza ranks first, with sales of 5.4 billion Swiss francs in 2021, a year-on-year increase of 20%. Followed by are WuXi AppTec and WuXi Biologics, the total revenue was US$5.214 billion, a year-on-year increase of 49.83%, with nearly 45,000 total employees.

There are 9 companies with revenue of more than 1 billion US dollars. Two companies wihch from China and South Korea are on the list. The rest are European and American companies, and there is only one company Catalent in the United States. From the perspective of revenue growth, WuXi has grown by 50% year-on-year last year, far exceeding other companies.

Catalent's revenue in last year was $3.998 billion, a year-on-year increase of 29%, ranking third. In March 2013, Catalent established the 8th clinical supply center in the world and the 1st clinical supply center in China, and named its Chinese company after "Catalent".

Swiss CDMO company, Recipharm ranked fifth. On April 11, 2022, it announced the completion of the acquisition of advanced therapy CDMO Arranta Bio and gene therapy CDMO Vibalogics, expanding the field of biopharmaceutical CDMOs. On January 10, 2021, Pharmaron announced the successful acquisition of Aesica , a subsidiary of Recipharm in Cramlington, UK, to enhance the overall strength of the small molecule CDMO service platform.

WuXi Biologics had revenue of $1.6 billion last year, and South Korea’s Samsung Biologics had revenue of $1.226 billion last year, a year-on-year increase of 34.6%. In the field of biopharmaceutical CDMOs, WuXi Biologics has the second largest market share in the world, with more than 9,800 employees.

Boehringer Ingelheim's net sales in 2021 will reach 20.6 billion euros, a year-on-year increase of 7.5%. Among them, the biopharmaceutical CDMO business achieved net sales of 917 million euros, a year-on-year increase of 9.5%. Boehringer Ingelheim covers the entire biopharmaceutical value chain, from the development and production process of producer cells (mammalian cells and microorganisms), to the production of active substances and finished pharmaceutical products, to product launch and global market supply. The company's total investment in the research pipeline is expected to exceed EUR 25 billion over the next five years.

According to WuXi Biologics' public materials, FUJIFILM Diosynth Biotechnologies' biopharmaceutical CDMO business ranks 5th, but no data has been published.

Judging from the Top 10 rankings, WuXi is likely to rank first in the future. Other Chinese company such as Asymchem, whose CDMO business revenue has reached US$730 million, will also enter the top 10 in the future.

What is preclinical testing?

In the process of  preclinical testing  of a compound or biological agent into a drug, the compound involved must go through the testing phase. First, we need to identify potential targets that can treat the disease. Then, a variety of compounds or preparations are screened out. Any compound that has shown potential as a drug for the treatment of this disease needs to be tested for toxicity before clinical testing to reduce the possibility of injury. preclinical testing What is the basis of preclinical testing? According to US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations, a series of tests are required before a new drug is approved for use. In the first stage, basic research determines a hypothetical target for the treatment of a certain disease, and then screens small molecules or biological compounds to discover any substance with the potential to treat the disease. Then, a  preclinical research  phase followed, before which, as described above, the potential tox...

Inventory of the three major in vitro pharmacokinetic research methods

  The metabolic properties of a compound are an essential factor in whether or not it can be used as a drug in the clinical setting, so pharmacokinetic studies of newly synthesized compounds are required in drug development. In vitro incubation with liver microsomes, recombinant CYP450 enzyme lines, and in vitro incubation with hepatocytes are some of the more common in vitro drug metabolism methods. 1. In vitro incubation method with liver microsomes The metabolic stability and metabolic phenotypes of candidate compounds in different species of liver microsomes are good predictors of the metabolic properties of compounds in vivo. They are practical tools for evaluating candidate compounds in the pre-development phase of drug development. Liver microsomes include rat liver microsomes, human liver microsomes, canine liver microsomes, monkey liver microsomes, and mouse liver microsomes. In in vitro incubation of the liver, microsomes are the "gold standard" for in vitro d...

Enzyme Activity Assay Service

  Enzymatic assay Lance Assay Alphascreen Assay Z’-LYTE Assay Adapta Assay Kinase-Glo Assay ADP-Glo Assay Ligand Binding Assay ELISA Assay HTRF Assay Enzyme activity assays  are laboratory methods for measuring enzymatic activity. They are vital for the study of enzyme kinetics and enzyme inhibition. Enzyme units : Amounts of enzymes can either be expressed as molar amounts, as with any other chemical, or measured in terms of activity, in enzyme units. Medicilon provides various  enzyme activity assays  for  kinases , phosphatases, proteinases, deacetylase, peptidase, esterase, and other enzymes. Our line of well-characterized immunoassays and biochemical kits ensures accurate and reproducible results. Enzyme is a  large category of bio-molecules  that catalyze various biological processes including metabolic processes, cellular signaling and regulation, cell division and apoptosis.
