Expansions have been witnessed by the industry, since 2013 to cater to the increasing need of their clients; of these, 55% expansions are associated with the establishment of new facility or adding area to the existing facility. Of global biologic fill finish capacity available in the facilities established by services providers is for filling of vials. Further, majority of capacity is available with service providers headquartered in Asia-Pacific.

As projected by Roots Analysis, antibodies will have the highest share in this market. This trend is likely to continue in the future.
