The widely considered key measure of industry confidence for the year ahead, the Pharmapack 2024 Drug Delivery Innovation Index, released prior to Pharmapack Europe 2024 held at the Paris Expo earlier this month. Results showed a slight increase on the 2023 record scores. Scored out of ten, the index rose from 7.44 to 7.45. According to Pharmapack, this indicates a continued resurgence in confidence and innovation across pharma R&D.
The majority of countries maintained their year-to-year scores or saw a slight decrease. However, France increased by 11% and rose to fourth in the rankings. A Country Pavilion was launched for France at the Pharmapack Europe event, and one for Switzerland as well.
