Europe Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Rising Incidence of Chronic Diseases

The rising prevalence of chronic diseases fuels the market. According to the International Diabetes Federation, approximately 463 million people worldwide were diagnosed with diabetes in 2019. Furthermore, the annual number of new cancer cases is expected to reach 23.6 million by 2030. Aside from cancer, many other diseases have seen an increase in prevalence. As a result of the growing number of chronic disease cases, the market's demand and growth increase.

• Growing Approvals from ANDA

The increasing number of Abbreviated New Drug Applications (ANDA) approvals raises the demand for active pharmaceutical ingredients (API). To market a generic drug, a company must file an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA). ANDA approval indicates that the generic drug is similar to the original drug in terms of dosage form, route of administration, strength, quality, performance characteristics, and intended use. As a result, these approvals aid in the faster adoption of APIs.

Opportunities

• Higher Adoption of Synthetic API

The API process may involve multi-step drug synthesis and fermentation, crystallization, drying, packing, purification, milling, labelling, and testing. Some drugs that have been treated with an API may be bulk-finished products. Furthermore, because of safety concerns, active pharmaceutical ingredients in paediatric formulations have gotten a lot of attention from regulatory agencies all over the world. Small molecule drugs are currently gaining popularity in many drug pipelines. Small molecule drugs have received the most regulatory approvals, and this trend is expected to continue in the future. This factor is accelerating market growth.

Restraints/Challenges

• Unavailability of Appropriate Treatments

The high capital requirement for API production is due to the process's need for extremely systematic protocols, which results in the outsourcing of various APIs. It is unaffordable for low and middle-income countries.
