CDMO Conferences in 2022

Outsourcing of R&D and Manufacturing has seen over a 50% budget increase in 2021, according to a report by CPhI, the record number of investments in discovery pipelines coupled with broader macro factors is going to drive huge growth for CDMOs in the next 2-3 years.

Full-service CDMOs, both large and medium scale, are looking for significant expansions to meet the growing global demand. Germany, China, and India are emerging as the key outsourcing destinations for the U.S- based companies over the next 5 years.

In this context, CDMO Conferences in 2022 are anticipated to draw special focus from the pharma community; handling the short and medium-term capacity constraints while building the customer and investor confidence in the anticipated long-term growth and stability is going to be the key message to convey for major CDMO players.

Diminishing COVID restrictions across the globe also means that it is time to do away with virtual conferences and get back to real engagement after the 2-year pandemic-induced hiatus. In contrast to 2021, 70% of the pharmaceutical conferences in 2022, including Discovery and CMC themed, are scheduled to be in-person events with a mix of virtual access.
