Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Pharmaceuticals and biological drugs are manufactured using ingredients usually produced offsite. Historically, the U.S. and Canada have relied heavily on countries such as China, India and Italy to supply these ingredients in a timely and economic manner. But the pandemic fueled a need to produce active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) domestically to secure supply chains for North American drug manufacturers.
The global supply chain remains complicated, although the U.S. and Canadian governments are focusing on this issue and are whiteboarding incentives to assist the domestic production and reshoring of APIs.
