ABVC BioPharma, Inc. has reaffirmed the strategic importance of its subsidiary, BioKey, Inc., as a U.S.-based pharmaceutical platform capable of addressing the global need for resilient and compliant drug development and production. Located in Fremont, California, BioKey's 28,000-square-foot FDA-compliant facility stands at the center of Silicon Valley's life sciences hub, offering a rare combination of physical manufacturing capacity and regulatory expertise under one roof.
With the U.S. imposing tariffs of up to 40% on select pharmaceutical imports from Asia, and the global pharmaceutical contract development and manufacturing market projected to grow significantly, companies with established U.S. infrastructure, like BioKey, are at a strategic advantage. Dr. Uttam Patil, ABVC's CEO, emphasized that BioKey's foresight in building its platform ahead of these policy shifts is now becoming a competitive edge.
BioKey's facility supports over 50 clinical trial batches annually and offers services including FDA IND filings and botanical-based drug applications. Its capabilities provide Asian biotech companies with a bridge to the U.S. market, offering regulatory alignment, formulation transfer support, and access to a cGMP facility without the need for significant upfront capital expenditure. According to IQVIA, 72% of Asia-based pharmaceutical companies have reported increased difficulty accessing the U.S. market post-2024, highlighting the relevance of BioKey's offerings.
The global pharmaceutical CDMO market, valued at $140 billion in 2024, is expected to reach $262 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 10.2%. This growth, coupled with the shifting global trade landscape, underscores the importance of localized, trust-based manufacturing and regulatory compliance. BioKey's operational model and strategic positioning make it a pivotal player in this evolving market.
