Additionally, Blue Wolf agreed to acquire Synerlab, a French CDMO with six facilities. These acquisitions have enhanced Blue Wolf's CDMO capabilities, regulatory expertise, and geographical reach, positioning them as a key player in the European pharmaceutical market. Thus, the aforementioned trends collectively contribute to fostering market growth in the coming years.
