About Global Medicine Production
The pharmaceutical industry is a critical component of global healthcare, producing essential medicines, vaccines, and therapies. The sector has seen significant globalization with complex supply chains spanning multiple continents.
Key production hubs have emerged in different regions, each with specialized capabilities from active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) manufacturing to finished dosage forms and advanced biologics.
Pharmaceutical Production Process
Medicine manufacturing involves multiple complex stages:
- Research & Development
- Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) Synthesis
- Formulation Development
- Manufacturing & Packaging
- Quality Control & Assurance
- Distribution & Supply Chain Management
Each stage must comply with strict regulatory standards (FDA, EMA, etc.) to ensure safety and efficacy.
Access to Medicines
Despite global production capacity, access to essential medicines remains uneven:
- 2 billion people lack access to essential medicines
- Low-income countries pay 2-3 times more for generics
- 90% of pharmaceutical R&D focuses on 10% of global disease burden
- Patent protection vs. generic competition affects affordability
Initiatives like the WHO Essential Medicines List and Medicines Patent Pool aim to improve global access.
