Hovione increases prices for its off-patent Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients, Portfolio Products as well as Development and Manufacturing Services

News release, 18 February 2022

Lisbon, Portugal, 18th February 2022 – Hovione announced today that effective March 1st, or as existing contracts allow, it will increase prices for its Products and Offerings for the global pharmaceutical industry, such as Minocycline, Doxycycline, Ivermectin, Fluticasone, and Mometasone.

The necessity of price adjustments stems from increases in the costs of raw materials, labor, energy, transportation, packaging, equipment, and maintenance. Price increases of up to 40% for off-patent Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients and Portfolio Products are required to offset these effects and continue to provide products sustainably to the market. For Development and Manufacturing Services, price increases will be applied to recalibrate the price to cost ratios based on the specific conditions of each program.

Hovione is dedicated to supporting the global pharmaceutical industry and patients around the globe with consistent and reliable supply meeting the most stringent technical, quality, and compliance requirements. We continue to invest in our people, sites, technologies, and products to ensure we meet this commitment.
