According to MRFR, the global active pharmaceutical ingredients market is expected to reach a valuation of USD 215,125.4 million by 2023.
Active pharmaceutical ingredients comprise the pharmaceutically active agent in any medicine, i.e. the product that actively has an effect on the disease and helps cure it. The growing prevalence of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and cancer is likely to be the major driver for the global active pharmaceutical ingredients market over the forecast period. The growing healthcare industry and biotech sector are also likely to be major drivers for the active pharmaceutical ingredients market, as drug development has emerged as a major target for players operating in these fields. Growing revenue streams from the healthcare sector have propelled drug development efforts in the biotechnology sector. Finding effective cures for various cancers has also emerged as a major objective for players in the active pharmaceutical ingredients market over the last few years. This is likely to remain a major driver for the active pharmaceutical ingredients market over the forecast period, as the prevalence of cancer is likely to grow over the forecast period.
The increasing importance of generics is likely to be a key trend in the global active pharmaceutical ingredients market over the forecast period. Generics are copies of branded drugs that can be sold at much lower prices due to the absence of a copyright. These have become vital for the healthcare sector, especially in developing countries, due to the high prices of branded drugs. Many consumers in developing, middle-income and low-income countries can’t afford branded drugs, however dire their need. This has driven the production of generics across the board, as companies have tried to cash in on the growing need for effective APIs in developing economies. The rising uptake of biopharmaceuticals in countries across the world is also likely to be a major driver for the global active pharmaceutical ingredients market over the forecast period. The rising demand to make pharmaceutical ingredients safe and biologically sourced is likely to drive the demand for biopharmaceuticals over the forecast period.
