Emerging Innovations and Trends in the Plant-Based API Industry
Leading market players are investing in novel product development to meet growing sustainability and ethical standards. A prime example is the move towards plant-derived squalene, which offers a responsible alternative to shark-derived sources historically used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and vaccines. Squalene is especially important as a vaccine adjuvant, boosting immune responses.

In October 2023, Evonik Industries AG, a German specialty chemicals firm, introduced PhytoSquene, the first GMP-grade plant-based squalene produced from amaranth oil. This product promises consistent purity, complies with European Pharmacopoeia standards, and provides an eco-conscious substitute that addresses biodiversity concerns while catering to cultural and religious preferences. The launch of PhytoSquene marks a significant step toward reducing reliance on animal sources and promoting sustainable manufacturing in the pharmaceutical field.
