Global Microbial Fermentation APIs Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Microbial Fermentation APIs market size is predicted to grow from US$ 29540 million in 2025 to US$ 32200 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 1.5% from 2025 to 2031.

Active pharmaceutical ingredients or APIs can be defined as the chemicals used to manufacture pharmaceutical drugs. They are generally manufactured through a variety of processes that include chemical synthesis, fermentation processes, recombinant DNA, etc.



Microbial fermentation APIs are secondary metabolites produced by micro-organisms such as fungi and actinomycetes. The micro-organisms are capable of converting inexpensive carbon sources (starch, glucose, sucrose, etc.) and nitrogen sources (soybean flour, cotton-seed flour, peptone, etc.) into highly valuable API"s or key intermediates (such as amino acids, vitamines, antibiotics) in liquid or solid media under certain growth conditions (nutrients, temperature, PH, oxygen supply).



Microorganisms that are typically used within the pharmaceutical industry include: prokaryotes such as Bacteria (e.g. Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus) and Streptomycetes (e.g. Streptomyces spp, Actinomyces spp), eukaryotes such as Filamentous Fungi (e.g., Nigrospora spp, Aspergillus spp,) and Yeast (e.g. Saccharomyces cereviciae, Pichia pastoris).

The major players in global Microbial Fermentation APIs market include Merck, Ajinomoto, HGPF, etc. China is the main market, and occupies about 50% of the global market. Antibiotics and Amino Acids are main types, with a share over 60%.
