What is the Size of Small Molecule API Market?
The small molecule API market size is forecast to increase by USD 67.3 billion, CAGR of 7.5% between 2023 and 2028. The market is experiencing significant changes, driven by the shifting landscape of drug development and manufacturing. In developing countries, the small-molecule API manufacturing scenario is evolving, offering cost advantages to contract manufacturers. The increasing geriatric population is fueling demand for small molecule APIs in various therapeutic areas, including diabetes and cancer treatments. However, high investment costs and the risk of substantial financial losses are major challenges. Pharmaceutical companies are responding by adopting different manufacturing strategies, such as captive manufacturing and merchant manufacturing, to mitigate risks and optimize costs. Biologics and branded drugs continue to dominate the market, but the trend towards generic drugs is gaining momentum. This dynamic market requires continuous monitoring and strategic planning from industry players to stay competitive.
