Rising Demand for Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients Driven by Increasing Drug Development and Chronic Illnesses
The global Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) market size was USD 144.70 Billion in 2022 and is expected to register a rapid revenue CAGR of 8.6% during the forecast period. The global market for Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) is experiencing significant growth, fueled by rising demand for pharmaceutical drugs and increased research and development (R&D) activities. APIs are the vital components of drugs that directly impact the treatment and prevention of diseases. As the rates of chronic and infectious diseases continue to rise, the need for new APIs to develop effective treatments is becoming more critical.According to a report by the European Commission's Joint Research Centre, the cancer burden in Europe surged to 2.7 million new cases and 1.3 million deaths in 2020. Meanwhile, the World Health Organization (WHO) highlights that cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) claimed nearly 17.9 million lives globally, making up 32% of all deaths. These alarming statistics suggest that pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies have a growing opportunity to create new chemical compounds targeting severe health issues, particularly in areas like cancer and cardiovascular treatment.

The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases is a key factor driving market growth. A study by the Indian Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF) revealed that the pharmaceutical industry in India accounts for over 50% of the global vaccine supply, 40% of generic medications in the U.S., and 25% of the UK medication market. The Indian Economic Survey projects the country's pharmaceutical market will expand from USD 42 billion in 2021 to USD 65 billion by 2024.
Furthermore, the complexity of chronic diseases and the rising number of cases demand innovative drug solutions, especially biologics. This trend has led to increased imports of pharmaceutical raw materials from emerging markets to support the production of advanced biopharmaceuticals. Additionally, pharmaceutical companies are intensifying their focus on R&D to introduce new drugs to the market, which is expected to further boost revenue growth.
Despite the promising outlook, the market faces challenges, including fluctuations in drug pricing regulations, especially in countries like China, which is a major supplier of active ingredients. In August 2018, for example, a price surge for chlorpheniramine API occurred due to market manipulation by local suppliers. This situation underscores the need for stable pricing strategies and oversight in the industry.
Recent developments indicate a trend of biopharmaceutical companies partnering with Contract Development and Manufacturing Organizations (CDMOs) to enhance their manufacturing capabilities. For instance, AGC Biologics announced a collaboration with Ono Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. to produce innovative biopharmaceuticals in clinical development. This strategic partnership highlights the importance of technical expertise and production capacity in meeting the growing demand for APIs.
The global API market can be segmented into innovative and generic APIs. The innovative API segment holds the largest market share, driven by the need for advanced treatment options and technological advancements in healthcare. These APIs are often protected by patents, granting companies exclusivity to benefit from their R&D investments. Growing interest in precision medicine, tailored to individual patient needs, further supports this segment's growth.
The generic API segment is also expected to grow, albeit at a moderate pace, due to the expiration of patents for branded medications and the increasing popularity of over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, which offer more affordable alternatives.

The market can also be categorized based on the synthesis type into synthetic and biotech APIs. The synthetic API segment is projected to dominate the market, thanks to the precise control over chemical synthesis processes that ensure product purity and scalability. This feature is especially crucial for widespread illnesses requiring large-scale drug production.
Meanwhile, the biotech API segment is anticipated to see steady growth, propelled by the rising demand for biopharmaceuticals and the increasing approval of biologics, including vaccines and recombinant proteins. For example, Richcore LifeSciences, an Indian biotechnology firm, has recently expanded its manufacturing capacity to support the production of recombinant proteins.
In terms of therapeutic applications, the cardiovascular disease segment is expected to generate the largest revenue share, driven by the increasing prevalence of heart-related conditions. Organizations like the World Heart Federation and government initiatives are working to raise awareness about these diseases, which will likely contribute to market growth. Additionally, the oncology segment is projected to experience the fastest growth due to the rising incidence of cancer and lifestyle changes leading to sedentary habits.
Overall, the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients market is on a positive trajectory, bolstered by the need for innovative treatments and a proactive approach to addressing chronic health issues. As companies continue to invest in R&D and strategic partnerships, the market is set for robust growth in the coming years.
