Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis By Type, By Manufacturer, By types of Synthesis, By type of Drug, By Therapeutic Application, Regional Outlook, Competitive Strategies and Segment Forecasts to 2030

The global active pharmaceutical ingredients market size is projected to reach USD 262.40 billion by 2030.

According to SPER Market Research, the global active pharmaceutical ingredients market estimated to reach USD 262.40 Bn by 2030 with a CAGR of 6.8%. Market growth is driven mainly by factors like rising drug R&D, the increasing incidence of chronic diseases, the growing importance of generics, and the increasing uptake of biopharmaceuticals. The growth of this market is going to be controlled by the unfavourable drug price control policies and high manufacturing costs.

COVID-19 Impact on the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) Market

With the WHO declaring the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, a mix of established pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies, as well as small start-ups, have stepped forward to develop treatments that target the infection. The economic and social burden of pandemics has prompted government bodies to increase funding for vaccine development on a global scale. Increase in funding and research for development of pharmaceutical products will drive growth for the market. However, corona virus outbreak has disrupted business and economic activities globally in the first quarter of 2020. It is expected to have a short-term impact on the active pharmaceutical ingredients market to a certain extent.

Driver: Increasing incidence of chronic diseases

The incidence of chronic diseases such as diabetes, coronary artery disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, hepatitis, arthritis, and cancer has increased globally. This can be attributed to the rising geriatric population across the globe. Changing lifestyles, and dietary changes as a result of rapid urbanization. According to the International Diabetes Federation, in 2019, 463 million people worldwide were diagnosed with diabetes. Moreover, the number of new cancer cases per year is expected to rise to 23.6 million by 2030.

Challenges: High manufacturing costs

The high manufacturing cost of APIs (chemical synthesis of APIs also often requires expensive and uncommon building blocks and raw materials), the costs of obtaining regulatory approvals are relatively higher for firms with small volumes these are major challenges for growth of this market in low- and medium-income countries with poor reimbursement scenarios.

Opportunity: Emerging biosimilars market

The rising incidence of various diseases, the increasing number of off-patent biologic drugs, positive outcomes in ongoing clinical trials for biosimilars, and the rising demand for biosimilars in different therapeutic applications (such as rheumatoid arthritis and blood disorders) are the major factors driving the growth of the biosimilars market. The expiration of patents and other intellectual property rights for originator biologics over the next decade is expected to open up opportunities for biosimilars to enter the market.
