The "Active
Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) Global Market - Forecast to 2025"
report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's
offering.

According to analysis, the global Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient
market is expected to grow at a high CAGR to reach $307.2 billion by
2025.

Adoption of biologics in disease management and increasing regulatory
approvals in the past year, increasing scope of HPAPI market, patent
expiration of major drugs, increasing trend of outsourcing and increase
in geriatric population are some of the factors driving the market
growth. The global API market is mainly segmented by synthesis, by
business type, by application and by geography.

API market based on synthesis is further divided into synthetic API,
Biotech API, and HPAPI. Synthetic API holds a major share in 2018 and is
expected to grow at a mid-single digit CAGR from 2018 to 2025. The major
factors driving the synthetic chemical API market are patent expiration
of synthetic (small molecule drugs), increasing number of small
molecules in clinical trials, increasing outsourcing by the
pharmaceutical companies, CMOs investments to expand manufacturing
facilities, rise in incidence of chronic and age-related diseases, rapid
growth in oncology market, technological advancement like cryogenic and
continuous flow manufacturing.

Based on the customer, the synthetic API is further divided into branded
API and generic API. Branded API accounted for the largest share in 2018
and is expected to grow at a mid-single digit CAGR from 2018 to 2025.
Generic API is expected to grow at a high single-digit CAGR from 2018 to
2025, due to Patent expiry of blockbuster drugs, rising healthcare
expenses, increasing outsourcing and shift towards the generic medicines
led by the government initiatives.

Biotech API is expected to grow at a high single-digit CAGR from 2018 to
2025. Increased investment in R&D by pharmaceutical companies for
developing biologic drugs, adoption of biological therapies in disease
management, increasing outsourcing, increasing biologics approvals in
the past year, increasing chronic and autoimmune illnesses, increasing
number of branded drugs going off-patent creating a scope for
biosimilars, requirement of novel biologics therapeutics for rare
diseases, increasing demand for antibody conjugates are few factors
driving the biotech API market. Biotech API is further segmented into
monoclonal antibodies, recombinant proteins, vaccines and others (stem
cell therapy and gene therapy).

Monoclonal antibodies accounted for the highest share in 2018 and
expected to grow at a double-digit CAGR from 2018 to 2025. Development
of next-generation antibodies such as antibody-drug conjugates and
rising venture capital investments and applications of monoclonal
antibodies are the factors booming monoclonal antibodies market growth.

Based on the customer, biotech API is further divided into biologics and
biosimilars. Biologics accounted for the largest share in 2018 and is
expected to grow at a high single-digit CAGR from 2018 to 2025.
Biologics market is driven globally due to the adoption of biological
therapies in disease management, increasing biologics approvals in the
past year, increasing chronic and autoimmune illnesses and increasing
elderly population globally.

Biosimilars are expected to grow at a mid-double-digit CAGR from 2018 to
2025. Factors driving the biosimilar drug market are patent expiry of
biological drugs, low cost compared to biologics health care
expenditure, increase in chronic diseases, growing geriatric population,
demand for quality healthcare.

HPAPI is expected to grow at a high single-digit CAGR from 2018 to 2025.
Rapid growth in the oncology market, low toxicity and lower side
effects, technological advancements in HPAPI, increasing outsourcing,
increasing the incidence of chronic and age-related diseases are few
factors driving the HPAPI market growth.

Based on customer, HPAPI is further divided into branded API and generic
API. Branded API is accounted the largest share in 2018 and is expected
to grow at a high single-digit CAGR from 2018 to 2025, increased
development of targeted therapy APIs, increased investments in the
manufacturing of branded HPAPI are the factors driving the market.

Generic API is expected to grow at a high single-digit CAGR from 2018 to
2025. Patent expiry of blockbuster drugs, rising healthcare expenses and
shift towards the generic medicines led by the government initiatives
are some of the factors driving the generic HPAPI market.

By business type, the global API market is divided into captive API and
merchant API. Captive market holds major share in 2018 and is expected
to grow at a mid-single digit CAGR from 2018 to 2025, captive API is
further divided into branded captive API and generic captive API,
branded captive API accounted for the largest share in 2018 and is
expected to grow at a mid-single- digit CAGR from 2018 to 2025.

Merchant API market is the fastest growing segment with a high
single-digit CAGR from 2018 to 2025. Novel drugs patent expiry, high
cost of innovative drugs and complications in innovative drug
manufacturing are some of the factors driving the growth of the Merchant
API market. Merchant API market is further divided into branded merchant
API and generic merchant API.

Generic merchant API accounted for the largest share in 2018 and is
expected to grow at a double-digit CAGR from 2018 to 2025. Increasing
outsourcing, advanced manufacturing facilities, lack of in-house
manufacturing capability, high capital investment and cost of API
manufacturing are the factors driving the Merchant API market.

By therapeutic applications, API market is segmented into infectious
diseases, oncology, cardiovascular disorders, central nervous system, a
pulmonary disorder, gastrointestinal disorder, endocrine disorders,
metabolic disorders, genito-urinary disorders, musculoskeletal disorders
and others. In the application segment, Oncology holds a major share in
2018 and expected to grow at a high single-digit CAGR from 2018 to 2025.

In synthetic API, infectious diseases accounted the largest share in
2018 and is expected to grow at a high single-digit CAGR from 2018 to
2025, oncology is expected to grow at a high single-digit CAGR from 2018
