Mosquito-borne illnesses reminiscent of Zika, dengue and chikungunya have disproportionately affected the poorer inhabitants and have important unmet medical wants.
Manufacturing agreements for infectious illnesses
Brazilian pharma manufacturing websites are concerned in Covid-19 vaccine and remedy manufacture. On 9 Might this 12 months, Merck & Co (Kenilworth, New Jersey) entered an settlement with Oswaldo Cruz Basis (Fiocruz) (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) for the manufacturing of the Covid-19 antiviral molnupiravir. Oswaldo Cruz Basis will package deal the drug in its facility in Rio de Janeiro earlier than supplying it to the Brazilian public well being system; the corporate can also be concerned in medical trials for the drug’s potential use as Covid-19 prophylaxis.
Massive Brazilian pharma corporations already play a significant function in distributing Covid-19 vaccines to all of Latin America. On 26 August final 12 months, BioNTech (Mainz, Germany) outsourced dose manufacturing of the Covid-19 vaccine it markets with Pfizer (New York, New York), tozinameran, to Eurofarma Laboratorios (Sao Paulo, Brazil). Eurofarma will get hold of the drug product from services within the US. At full operational capability, annual manufacturing is anticipated to exceed 100 million completed doses and all doses might be distributed inside Latin America.
Final January, the Russian Direct Funding Fund (RDIF) entered an settlement with Uniao Quimica Farmaceutica Nacional (Sao Paulo, Brazil) for the manufacture of ten million doses of the Gamaleya Federal Analysis Centre’s (Moscow, Russia) Sputnik V vaccine for Covid-19 for the Brazilian market.

Aside from Covid-19, different infectious illnesses reminiscent of dengue fever signify a substantial risk to Brazilian public well being. The mosquito-borne virus is now the main reason for dying in some Latin American and Asian international locations. There may be appreciable unmet want for dengue fever as no antiviral remedy is marketed, and there is just one accredited vaccine—Sanofi’s (Paris, France) Dengvaxia.
Potential to accumulate websites to produce South American markets
Brazil is the biggest nation in South America and the fifth largest globally, with the world’s sixth largest inhabitants. Roughly 66% of corporations with Brazilian manufacturing websites are domestically owned. There are three US-based corporations with a producing presence in Brazil: Catalent (Somerset, New Jersey), Thermo Fisher Scientific’s (Waltham, Massachusetts) subsidiary Patheon (Durham, North Carolina), and Merieux NutriSciences (Chicago, Illinois), all contract manufacturing organisations (CMOs).
French and Italian producers have two corporations in Brazil. There are comparatively few massive worldwide pharma corporations primarily based in Brazil, however different well-known names embrace Ajinomoto (Tokyo, Japan) and Novo Nordisk (Bagsvaerd, Denmark).

Most services in Brazil belong to corporations with a single website within the nation, which signifies the massive merger and acquisition (M&A) potential of its pharma business.
Brazil’s pharma business has grown considerably over the past decade, pushed by rising family incomes, and it’s well-placed to supply medicines to different rising markets in South America. Though the rising variety of middle-class residents in Brazil will gas rising home pharma manufacturing, there might be limits to the quick pharma development, and diversifying the international locations they provide to (together with North America and Europe) would cut back the dangers related to home/regional markets and enhance gross sales.
