Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) Market

Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) Market, By Product Type (Low Potent APIs, High Potent APIs), By Molecular Type (Small Molecules, Large Molecules), By Formulation (Oral, Topical, Injectables, Drops), By Application (Diabetes, Oncology, Cardiovascular, CNS, Analgesics, Ophthalmic, Respiratory, Dermatology, Others), By Geography (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa)

Active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and excipients are the two most important components in the production of a medication. API is the raw material that is used in manufacturing medications, whereas an excipient is a substance that functions as a medium to help the body absorb the drug, such as lactose or mineral oil in a tablet. Active pharmaceutical ingredients are produced by using highly technological industrial processes, both during the research and development and commercial production phases. Such compounds are developed to provide pharmacological activity or other direct impacts on disease diagnosis, cure, mitigation, therapy, or prevention, or to change the structure and function of the body. The growth of the active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) market can be attributed to certain factors, such as increasing funding initiatives by the government across different regions. For instance, in May 2020, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced that it will provide funding of US$ 354 million to Phlow Corporation, a pharmaceutical company, under a four-year contract to produce the active pharmaceutical ingredientss (APIs) needed for medications to treat patients with COVID-19 and related illnesses.

Market Dynamics

The rising U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approvals for drugs by pharmaceutical companies are further expected to boost the global active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) market growth during the forecast period. For instance, in December 2020, Eily Lilly, an American pharmaceutical company received U.S FDA clearance for several medicines, including increased dosages of its Trulicity therapy for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, Cyramza for the treatment of metastatic Estimated Glomerular Filteration Rate (EGFR)-mutated non-small cell lung cancer, and tauvid for individuals diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.
