    Key Takeaways of Specialty Active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) Market Study

    • Europe, followed by North America, is expected to be the most lucrative region and account for a notable revenue share of about 29% in the global specialty active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) market in 2020 and trend is expected to continue owing to large number of drugs going off-patent during forecast period. 

    High patient population and growing pharmaceutical contract manufacturing organizations in Asian countries is expected to propel the growth of the specialty active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) market in the region

    Specialty API Market Witnessing a Paradigm Shift

    Shift of Specialty API Market from Type I DMFs (Drug Master Files) to Type II DMFs is expected to further drive market growth. Type II DMF drug encloses drug substances, substance materials and intermediates used in drug product’s penetration.

    Extensive DMF filings are reflected through API manufacturers envisaging the steep increase in demand for outsourcing intermediates or APIs. DMF filings could also be attributed to growing investments for enhancing production facilities on the part of manufacturers based in Asia Pacific.

    Also, regulatory agencies such as SAHPRA, Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency, MHRA, TGA, and U.S. FDA are in a DMF approval mode; thereby acting as another driving factor.

    Covid-19 to Stall Short-term Momentum

    The outbreak of Covid-19 has not left any vertical untouched,  and specialty API market is no exception. Certain manufacturers are dependent on China for APIs. This influx has slowed down due to this ongoing pandemic. The trend is expected to continue at least for the next few months till manufacturers come up with an alternative to by in sync with the “new” normal.
