Pharma & Biopharma

Driving innovations in the pharma & biopharma market

The pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical markets are evolving faster than ever - driven by breakthroughs in personalized medicine, nucleic acid therapies, and digitalization. Global biopharma is projected to nearly double by 2032, and the pharmaceutical market is expected to exceed $3 trillion by 2034. But growth comes with complexity: tighter regulations, sustainability demands, supply chain vulnerabilities, and shifting investment patterns are reshaping the industry.

At Evonik, we don’t just keep pace with these changes - we help you turn them into opportunities. As a trusted partner to leading life science companies for decades, we bring deep market insight and a commitment to resilience. Our focus is on enabling you to deliver life-saving therapies reliably, affordably, and sustainably.
