HP (High Potency) APIs Global Market Report 2024

The hp (high potency) apis market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $23.39 billion in 2023 to $25.5 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.0%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be ascribed to a heightened demand for oncology therapies, a growing focus of pharmaceutical companies on the production of high-potency active pharmaceutical ingredients (HPAPIs), an upsurge in healthcare awareness and expenditure, robust economic growth in emerging markets, and a rise in government initiatives.

The hp (high potency) apis market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $36.38 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be linked to an increase in the number of cancer cases, a heightened emphasis on precision medicine, and the continuous growth of the ageing population, all contributing to driving the expansion. Major trends expected in the forecast period involve a strategic emphasis on activities such as expanding production facilities and engaging in mergers and acquisitions, a dedicated focus on augmenting investments to bolster HPAPI production, the incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) in manufacturing APIs, an emphasis on environmentally sustainable manufacturing practices, and a concentration on launching new, innovative products.

The growth of the HP (high potency) APIs market is driven by the increasing number of cancer cases and the concurrent rise in sales of cancer drugs. The surge in cancer incidence is leading to heightened research and development efforts for anticancer drugs, consequently fueling the demand for the market. According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) report by the World Health Organization, the global cancer burden is anticipated to witness an increase of 29.5 million new cases and 16.4 million deaths by 2040. Notably, 70% of cancer-related deaths occur in middle and low-income countries. As a result, the escalating prevalence of cancer is expected to boost revenues for the HP (high potency) APIs market.

Government initiatives aimed at enhancing cancer care and treatment are poised to drive the future growth of the HP (high potency) APIs market. These initiatives encompass policies, funding, and programs implemented by governments to enhance the accessibility, affordability, and quality of care for individuals diagnosed with cancer. The importance of High Potency (HP) APIs in cancer treatment lies in their ability to target specific molecular pathways, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of therapies. An example is the revival of the Cancer Moonshot Initiative unveiled by President Biden in September 2023. The initiative, supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), aims to halve the cancer death rate within 25 years and provide comprehensive support to cancer survivors and their families. Consequently, government initiatives to improve cancer care and treatment are propelling the growth of the HP (high potency) APIs market.
