The Future of Molecules: How Chemistry and Pharma Will Shape the Next Decade
The next decade of chemicals and pharmaceuticals will be influenced by developments occurring across molecular science, biotechnology, materials, digital technology and manufacturing. New analytical and computational capabilities are changing research while advanced processes are creating new possibilities for how molecules are produced at scale. This edition brings these developments together to examine the future of chemicals and pharma beyond 2027, exploring how science, engineering and increasingly connected production could reshape medicines, materials and industrial chemistry.
Editor's Note
Chemistry remains a fundamental science of transformation: turning raw materials into medicines, functional materials and products that enable modern life. Our final edition of 2027 looks ahead by connecting advances across pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, materials and manufacturing. The tools may change significantly, but the industry's future will continue to depend on the ability to understand molecules and translate that knowledge into useful, safe and scalable products.
