Business Updates and 2026 Outlook
Samsung Biologics continued to expand its global CDMO business through long-term partnerships with pharmaceutical companies worldwide. The company secured a KRW 1.1 trillion manufacturing agreement with a European pharmaceutical company in the fourth quarter of 2025, contributing to a cumulative contract value exceeding USD 21 billion. Cumulative regulatory approvals reached 420, reflecting the company’s continued focus on quality, compliance, and consistent regulatory execution across global markets.
The company reaffirmed its strategic direction as a pure-play CDMO through an equity spin-off, and continued to advance initiatives to strengthen its global manufacturing platform. Operations across Plants 1 through 4 remained stable, providing a solid operational base, while Plant 5 will begin contributing to revenue in 2026. Based on this outlook, excluding potential contributions from the planned acquisition of the U.S. site, the company projected 15–20% annual revenue growth for 2026.
Samsung Biologics progressed key infrastructure and capacity investments to support future demand. In December 2025, the company announced the planned acquisition of a U.S. manufacturing facility in Rockville, Maryland, to further support supply resilience and proximity to clients. The site comprises two CGMP manufacturing plants with a combined 60 kL of drug substance capacity, supporting mid- to large-scale programs. The deal is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026, and the company intends to make additional investments to increase capacity and upgrade technology at the site.
The company also secured land for Bio Campus III, establishing a foundation for future expansion to support next-generation modalities and diversified client needs. Bio Campus III is expected to support expanded capabilities across advanced conjugation technologies, as well as cell and gene therapies and antibody vaccines.
Under its optimized manufacturing framework, ExellenS™, Samsung Biologics continued to invest in operational systems, digital capabilities, and manufacturing infrastructure to enhance readiness and execution across its facilities. The company is expanding its drug product capabilities, including preparations for a fully automated pre-filled syringe drug product line, which is expected to be CGMP ready by 2027.
Samsung Biologics continued to advance its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives. The company received an ‘A’ rating in Water Security from the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and continued its role as a Champion of the Sustainable Markets Initiative, supporting collaborative action toward more sustainable healthcare manufacturing practices. By strengthening engagement with suppliers and integrating ESG considerations across its operations and value chain, Samsung Biologics aims to support long-term environmental stewardship while maintaining reliable and responsible manufacturing operations.
