New Drug Approvals and their Contract Manufacture Report Overview
In 2022, the FDA approved 109 new drug applications (NDAs) and biologics license applications (BLAs). The overall number of approvals is eight lower when compared to 2021. Both small molecule and biologic new molecular entity (NME) approvals declined substantially, causing overall NDA approvals to drop, which meant fewer commercial-scale production contracts for the most innovative products compared to other recent years. Small cap companies’ (market cap $300M–2B) and private companies’ NDA approvals were relatively high in 2022, with 15 and 42 FDA approvals, respectively. In recent years, COVID-19 vaccine drives have allowed economies and societies to safely reopen during the pandemic. However, new challenges such as rising inflation will bring uncertainty to the ongoing global recovery. The pharma industry faces increasing cost pressures, shrinking consumer spending power, staff shortages, and geopolitical tensions.
The new drug approvals and their contract manufacture report is the 13th edition of a long-running analysis of the CMO industry, using the FDA’s NDA approvals as the primary indicator of performance. New Drug Approvals and Their Contract Manufacture (formerly called “CMO Scorecard”) is critical for benchmarking the performance of the contract manufacturing organization (CMO) industry and the relative performance of major CMOs. This year’s edition includes a discussion of Emergency Use Approvals for COVID-19 and how inflation has impacted pharma manufacturers.

New Drug Approvals and their Contract Manufacture – Key Trends
The main trends that affected FDA drug approvals and their manufacturing in 2022 are classified into three categories: approval types, increased outsourcing, and changing business environment.
Approval types: Record cell/gene therapy approvals continue 2021’s strong performance, huge drop in FDA approvals for NMEs, and biologic NME approvals outnumbered small molecules in 2022 are some of the top approval type trends in new drug approvals and their contract manufacture study.
Increased outsourcing: Domination of dose outsourcing by a few key CMOs, higher biologic NME outsourcing than for small molecule equivalents, and more reliance on nano and micro cap sponsors on CMOs are some of the increased outsourcing trends boosting new drug approvals and their contract manufacture.
Changing business environment: The impact of inflation on pharma manufacturing and shifts in market demand are likely to impact the new drug approvals and their contract manufacture. In addition, although many of the vaccines will still generate blockbuster revenues, sales will decrease, as will the volumes of production. COVID-19 vaccines and treatments will still represent lucrative contracts for CMOs, but with production volumes dwindling and manufacturing relationships becoming well-established, are less profitable than in earlier stages of the pandemic.

New Drug Approvals and their Contract Manufacture – Value Chain Insights
The contract manufacturing industry’s value chain is simplified into three main segments, beginning with API, dose form manufacturing, and packaging. API is the starting point and can have big implications on which dosage forms or packaging are used later in the process. For instance, if there were a greater number of contract service agreements being made for biologic API manufacture, this would have major implications for injectable dose form manufacturing and packaging.
