Manufacture of basic pharmaceutical products
NACE v2.0 Code: C21.1
About manufacture of basic pharmaceutical products
NACE code 21.1 covers the manufacture of basic pharmaceutical products, a critical industry that plays a vital role in the global healthcare ecosystem. This sector is responsible for the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients, vitamins, and other essential substances used in the formulation of a wide range of medicinal products. As a highly regulated and research-intensive industry, the manufacture of basic pharmaceutical products is a key driver of innovation and economic growth, contributing significantly to the overall well-being of societies worldwide.
Production process
The manufacture of basic pharmaceutical products typically involves a multi-step process that combines chemical synthesis, fermentation, and purification techniques. Depending on the specific product, manufacturers may utilize methods such as extraction, crystallization, or biotechnological processes to isolate and refine the active ingredients. Strict quality control measures and regulatory compliance are paramount throughout the production cycle to ensure the safety, efficacy, and purity of the final pharmaceutical substances.
Production inputs
The manufacture of basic pharmaceutical products requires a diverse range of inputs, including specialized chemical reagents, solvents, catalysts, and other raw materials. Additionally, the industry relies on advanced production equipment, such as bioreactors, centrifuges, and purification systems, as well as a highly skilled workforce of chemists, engineers, and technicians. Continuous investment in research and development is also crucial to drive innovation and maintain a competitive edge in this rapidly evolving sector.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of the basic pharmaceutical products industry are the active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), vitamins, and other essential substances that are subsequently used in the formulation of a wide range of medicinal products. These outputs are then consumed by other NACE codes, such as 21.2 Manufacture of pharmaceutical preparations, 32.5 Manufacture of medical and dental instruments and supplies, and 86.1 Hospital activities, among others, which are responsible for the final production and distribution of finished pharmaceutical goods.
