According to IMARC Group, the global active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) market reached a value of US$ 200.6 Billion in 2020. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the global active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) market to exhibit moderate growth during 2021-2026. Active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) refer to the components that are biologically active within the drug and are responsible for the desired effect on the individuals. These ingredients are manufactured through a variety of processes, including chemical synthesis, recombinant DNA, fermentation processes, and isolation and recovery from natural sources. With the rapid expiration of patented blockbuster drugs, there has been a rise in the demand for generic APIs worldwide.
Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) Companies:
Nowadays, several pharmaceutical companies are outsourcing API manufacturing to increase production, as well as introduce APIs which are more effective and cost-efficient to ensure their global access. Owing to this, several manufacturers are producing more effective APIs that can treat diseases beyond the scope of small molecule drugs. Other than this, with the rising healthcare expenditure, governments of several second wave countries are encouraging domestic production of APIs by offering incentives to manufacturers.
