The industrial side of pharmaceutical outsourcing — capacity, chemistry, and the decisions behind them. Briefs from our analysis series, product updates, and featured CDMO partners.
Solid-phase peptide synthesis consumes around 13,000 kg of material for every kg of API — forty to eighty times a small molecule. As GLP-1-class demand pushes volumes the industry has never operated at, solvent supply, recovery, and disposal are becoming the binding constraint.
New feature helps biotech and pharmaceutical companies discover qualified CDMOs by country through structured manufacturing intelligence and AI-powered supplier discovery.
We tracked more than twenty peptide facility announcements from 2024 to 2026. Only a handful add commercial-scale API capacity — and in 2026, consolidation quietly shrank the field rather than widening it.
A closer look at a US-based CDMO built for the late-stage journey — from formulation through commercial-scale oral solid and semi-solid manufacturing.
Two Phase 3 readouts have reset the ceiling for what peptide therapeutics can do. The more interesting story is everything the efficacy headline leaves out.
