Manufacture of basic pharmaceutical products

NACE v2.1 Code: C21.10

About manufacture of basic pharmaceutical products

NACE code 21.10 covers the manufacture of basic pharmaceutical products, a critical industry that plays a vital role in the global healthcare system. This industry is responsible for the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients, vitamins, and other essential substances used in the development of a wide range of medicinal products. As a highly regulated and research-intensive sector, the manufacture of basic pharmaceutical products is a key driver of innovation and a significant contributor to the overall economy.

Production process

The manufacture of basic pharmaceutical products involves a complex set of production techniques, including chemical synthesis, fermentation, and extraction processes. These methods are carefully controlled and monitored to ensure the purity, potency, and safety of the final products. Advanced technologies, such as automated systems and specialized equipment, are often employed to streamline the production process and maintain high levels of quality and efficiency.

Production inputs

The manufacture of basic pharmaceutical products requires a variety of inputs, including raw materials such as organic and inorganic chemicals, enzymes, and other natural substances. Additionally, this industry relies on specialized machinery, laboratory equipment, and a highly skilled workforce of scientists, engineers, and technicians. Regulatory compliance and adherence to strict quality standards are also critical inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the manufacture of basic pharmaceutical products (NACE code 21.10) are active pharmaceutical ingredients, vitamins, and other essential substances used in the production of a wide range of medicinal products. These outputs are then consumed by other NACE codes, such as 21.20 Manufacture of pharmaceutical preparations, 32.50 Manufacture of medical and dental instruments and supplies, and 86.10 Hospital activities, which further process and distribute these products to healthcare providers and consumers.
