Survey Methodology

The CDMO Leadership Awards Europe are derived from the same survey data used for the March 2025 CDMO Leadership Awards. Outsourced Pharma and Life Science Connect partnered with Orientation Marketing as our new research partner to conduct this research and will continue in this role moving forward. For the European awards, the data set was filtered to highlight only CDMOs headquartered in Europe.

• Respondents were recruited from biopharmaceutical companies of all sizes and screened for decision-making authority in CDMO selection and management.

• CDMOs were evaluated across key performance metrics aligned with sponsor priorities.

• Only companies with which respondents had worked within the past 18 months were rated, ensuring feedback reflects real project experience.

• To qualify as a winner, CDMOs had to meet a minimum threshold of qualified survey responses.

The CDMO Leadership Awards Europe Ceremony & Reception takes place alongside CPHI Frankfurt but is not affiliated with CPHI. Awards are presented by Outsourced Pharma, Life Science Connect, and Orientation Marketing.
