What is third-party manufacturing in pharma?
Third-party manufacturing in pharma is when a brand owner outsources drug production to a licensed, WHO-GMP certified manufacturer, then sells the finished medicines under its own brand name. The manufacturer handles the factory, raw materials, and quality testing; the brand owner focuses on branding and distribution. This model has become one of the most accessible ways to enter India's pharma business in 2026, letting startups and PCD franchise businesses launch products without capital-heavy infrastructure.
