The pharmaceutical industry, a driving force for global innovation and health, is undergoing a transformative period marked by technological advancements and emerging challenges. In this dynamic landscape, where precision, efficiency and regulatory compliance are paramount, the role of advanced equipment and systems in drug development cannot be overstated. As the industry strives for greater precision, automation and regulatory compliance, several key technology trends are emerging, all of which will be showcased at ACHEMA 2024, featuring the largest exhibition space for pharmaceutical process and packaging technology to date.

Complexity of biopharmaceuticals

Biopharmaceuticals represent a significant segment of the pharmaceutical market, characterised by their complexity and specificity. These advanced therapeutic products, derived from biological sources, demand specialised production processes and rigorous quality assurance measures. At ACHEMA 2024, as part of the ACHEMA Innovation Theme Pharma, investment in advanced analytics for quality assurance and a flexible production infrastructure will be highlighted as essential to meet the specialised requirements of biopharmaceuticals. ACHEMA will serve as the largest decentralised technology showcase for biopharmaceutical research, manufacturing and packaging, underscoring the industry’s commitment to advancing this critical area of medicine.

Advanced process automation
