Global Small Molecule API Market Size study, by Type (Synthetic, Biotech), By Application (Oncology, Pulmonology, CNS, Endocrinology, Cardiology, Orthopedic, Endocrinology, Gastroenterology, Nephrology, Ophthalmology, Others), By Manufacturer (In-house, Outsourced) and Regional Forecasts 2022-2028
Global Small Molecule API Market is valued at approximately USD 175 billion in 2021 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 5.4% over the forecast period 2022-2028. A small active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) molecule is a low-molecular-weight organic component. It is a pharmaceutically active ingredient that is used in biological procedures. Furthermore, API can be combined in finished pharmaceutical products. As a critical component, its demand in the pharmaceutical industry is high. The molecule is useful in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of a wide range of diseases. Small API molecules can be used as research tools to investigate biological function and to help develop new therapeutic agents. Some can obstruct a protein's specific function or disrupt protein-protein interactions. The growing demand for small molecule drugs in the market, as well as the increased outsourcing trend, are two major factors driving the market. The patent expiration of leading molecules is further driving growth by allowing new players to enter the market, which drives demand for raw materials such as API for low-cost drug production. For example, Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd. announced in March 2022 that it would invest in a new manufacturing facility in Japan to meet the surge in demand for high-quality small molecule APIs and intermediates. Because a large number of companies manufacture their API in-house, they are less reliant on raw material suppliers. For example, AstraZeneca announced a USD 360 million investment in an API manufacturing facility in Ireland for the commercialization of new products in September 2021. Furthermore, rising technological developments in the manufacturing sector are propelling the global small molecule API market forward. However, the government's stringent regulations on the use of small molecules limit the market growth.
The key regions considered for the global Small Molecule API market study include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Rest of the World. North America held the largest market share. The presence of favourable government initiatives, combined with increased interest from regional players, are expected to propel the North American market. Whereas, due to improvements in overall healthcare infrastructure, improved access to healthcare, and the presence of a large number of local manufacturers, Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region during the forecast period. These players supply globally, making Asia Pacific a key region for low-cost small molecule API production.
