By Manufacturing Type, the Captive APIs segment is projected to dominate the market size in 2024.

The active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) market encompasses groundbreaking innovations in the form of new chemical entities (CIs), biologics, biosimilars, and other novel formulations. These advanced APIs, which have yet to be utilized in commercial products, are the lifeblood of the pharmaceutical sector, fueling the creation of superior drug therapies. The development of these complex APIs necessitates extensive research and development (R&D) and regulatory approval before commercial application. The burgeoning demand for sophisticated treatments for a myriad of diseases and conditions propels the innovative APIs market forward.

By Type, Innovative APIs  segment is expected to hold the largest market size for the year 2024.

In the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) market landscape of 2023, captive API manufacturing held the largest market share. The expansion of healthcare services has driven substantial growth in this sector. The priority to expand access to affordable healthcare services has fueled the demand for cost-effective medicines, consequently increasing the need for economical APIs for producing finished drugs. To meet this growing demand for affordable drugs, innovators are outsourcing either the bulk actives or late-stage intermediates to Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMOs), thereby shrinking the market share of captive API manufacturing.

Asia is forecasted to hold the largest market size by region in 2024.

In the global Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) market, Asia, particularly India, holds the largest market share. Indian manufacturers, such as Lupin Ltd. and Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., have demonstrated expertise in producing pharmaceutical products adhering to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) standards. These companies cater to the regulatory requirements of US and European generic drug firms, supplying bulk products on a large scale. Their success in the US generic drug market underscores their capability to manufacture both APIs and finished dose forms with the required quality for regulated markets.
