The Pharmaceutical Manufacturing industry

The Pharmaceutical Manufacturing industry plays a vital role in healthcare, encompassing businesses involved in researching, developing, manufacturing, and distributing medications and pharmaceutical products. These companies produce a wide range of drugs, vaccines, and other therapeutic substances.

What businesses are included

This industry covers various stages of pharmaceutical development, from drug discovery and clinical trials to large-scale manufacturing and packaging. It includes companies producing both prescription and over-the-counter medications, as well as generic drug manufacturers. Notably, businesses specializing in biotechnology and developing innovative therapies like gene therapies or cell therapies also fall under this industry.

When targeting the Pharmaceutical Manufacturing industry on LinkedIn, your search will automatically cover all related sub-industries. To maximize the relevance of your leads, you may want to exclude certain sub-industries that don’t align with your ideal customer profile.

Which businesses are not included

It's crucial to distinguish Pharmaceutical Manufacturing from companies involved in medical device manufacturing or healthcare service providers. For example, a company producing surgical equipment or a hospital providing medical treatment wouldn't be classified under Pharmaceutical Manufacturing. Similarly, companies solely focused on marketing and distributing pharmaceuticals fall outside this industry's scope.
