      DUBLIN, Jan. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients: Global Markets" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

      The global market for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) should grow from $135.4 billion in 2020 to $173.3 billion by 2025, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1% for the period of 2020-2025.

      This report is an overview of the pharmaceutical industry landscape and active pharmaceutical ingredients (API), along with the current trends and dynamics shaping the API market landscape. API sourcing trends and regulatory guidelines that impact the procurement of APIs are studied here. The increasing importance of outsourced API manufacturing activities and the impact on the pharmaceutical industry are covered in the report.

      The global API market is expected to grow over the next five years, driven by the increasing demand for pharmaceutical products such as generics and biological drugs, price impacts from COVID-19 and the increasing demand for critical drugs, which are in short supply due to the pandemic.

      In this report, the API market is segmented into molecular entity, manufacturer type, end use, and region. Further, it is segmented into two molecular entity groups: natural and synthetic API. Synthetic APIs are further segmented into chemical synthesis, biocatalytic and cell culture. Under the category of molecular entity, APIs are segmented into small molecules and large molecules. By sourcing type, the market is segmented into the captive market, merchant market and contract manufacturing organization (CMO). In terms of end use, the market is segmented into clinical trial use and commercial use.

      In terms of geography, this report analyzes the market by the following regions: North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World (Latin America and the Middle East). The API market is very fragmented. Therefore, attempts have been made to present the market share held by selected companies.

      The report includes:

      • Estimation of the market size and analyses of market trends, with data from 2018, 2019, estimates for 2020 and projection of CAGR through 2025
      • Highlights of quantitative and qualitative data of the API market by molecular entity, manufacturer type, origin, end use and region
      • Detailed description of API sources, production methods, route of synthesis, and contract manufacturing organizations
      • Information on regulatory perspective on production methods of API and discussion on harmonization of API GMP standards and supply chain integrity
      • Discussion on issues like patent expiry and its impact on the pharmaceutical market, and details of changes in pharmaceutical drug development
      • Coverage of events like mergers & acquisitions, joint ventures, collaborations or partnerships, and other key market strategies
