For the first time, revenue earned from innovation programs has surpassed that from generic projects.
Over the past five years, Piramal has seen its innovation revenue rise from 35% of total revenue in FY19 to more than 50% in FY24, representing a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 20%.
Commercial manufacturing
This significant growth includes work performed for pharma innovator customers across discovery, development, and on-patent commercial manufacturing, spanning preclinical development through phases 1, 2, and 3. This pace far exceeds the overall growth rate of Piramal’s CDMO business.
Peter DeYoung, chief executive officer of Piramal Pharma Solutions, said: “Achieving this threshold is a significant milestone in the company’s history. For many years, our organizational strategies and tactics have focused on building the expertise and capabilities required to fully support innovator work. This breakthrough validates our efforts and secures our position as an innovator CDMO that supports customers in their quest to bring new, patient-centric medicines to regulated markets around the world.”
