With exponentially rising demand for drugs, the global API market is expected to follow a notable growth trajectory during the forecast period. "Considering the rapidly growing global population, technological advancements, and widening pool of patients suffering from chronic diseases, the pace of development of drugs is likely to increase by leaps and bounds," says a TMR analyst. The rising geriatric population worldwide is also escalating the demand for various types of drugs, which in turn working in favor of the global market.

Empowering Presence of Generic Drugs to Inhibit Adoption of API

The burgeoning sales of generic drugs are acting as a major bottleneck in the development of the global API market. The patent expiry along with the shortage of blockbuster drugs, poor accessibility in remote areas of several emerging countries, and unaffordability are fuelling the consumption of generic drugs. However, several government organizations are taking measures to mitigate this issue. The European Union (EU) are setting up manufacturing facilities that not only help in improving the quality of the drugs sold in the market, but also in ensuring the sales of government-approved and quality-checked scientifically-developed drugs.
