Abstract :

Contract research and manufacturing services (CRAMS) is one of the fastest growing segments in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry. The pharmaceutical market uses outsourcing services from providers in the form of contract research organizations (CROs) and contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs). Increasing costs of R&D, coupled with low productivity and poor bottom lines, have forced major pharmaceutical companies worldwide to outsource part of their research and manufacturing activities to low-cost countries like INDIA. India soffers significant cost advantages over mature manufacturing hubs in Europe and North America. India has already emerged as one of the leading cost-competitive and quality manufacturing hubs for many global players including big pharma companies. Moreover, the current economic crisis along with the continuous pricing pressure and pro-generic agenda are driving Pharma companies to leverage the strengths of Indian pharma manufacturers. The present study describes role of CRAMS, benefits & risks, present status in INDIA.
