What Drivers Are Propelling the Growth of Plant-Based Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) Market Forward?
Rising consumer inclination towards natural and organic products is predicted to spur the expansion of the market for plant-based active pharmaceutical ingredients (API). These natural and organic products are made from ingredients secured from natural sources, minimally processed, and devoid of synthetic chemicals and genetically modified organisms (GMOs). This move towards natural and organic products is due to heightened health consciousness and apprehension about synthetic chemicals. Consumers are increasingly aware of possible threats posed by synthetic ingredients. Plant-based active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) cater to this demand by providing medicinal benefits that are chemical-free, effective and align with the need for clean, safe, and sustainable medical solutions. For example, LETIS S.A., an organic product certifying entity from Argentina, reported in May 2024 that organic food sales surged to $61.67 billion in 2022, a rise of 4.3% from the earlier period. Additionally, other organic products contributed $5.906 billion to the total sales growing by 1.6%. This shift in consumer preference towards natural and organic products is therefore augmenting the growth of the plant-based active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) market.

What Are the Key Trends Driving Plant-Based Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) Market Growth?
Leading businesses in the plant-based active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) market are prioritizing the creation of innovative products, including plant-based squalene, as sustainable and ethical substitutes for traditional sources derived from animals. Amaranth, olives, and sugarcane are being used to source a plant-based variation of squalene, a viable alternative to its shark-derived counterpart, utilised in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and vaccines. Evonik Industries AG, a specialty chemicals company based in Germany, kicked off this innovative trend in October 2023 by introducing PhytoSquene, the first plant-based squalene of GMP-quality, extracted from amaranth oil. This invention provides a sustainable substitute to squalene derived from sharks, simultaneously maintaining high purity, consistent batch-to-batch quality, and adherence to European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) standards. With its vital role in augmenting immune response in vaccine adjuvants, PhytoSquene, by being plant-based, addresses issues related to biodiversity, decreases dependency on animal sources, and caters to different cultural and religious sensitivities.
