A cornerstone of the pharmaceutical industry, ibuprofen API market commands a significant presence, fueling the production of numerous analgesics and anti-inflammatory medications. Recent analysis by Future Market Insights (FMI) underscores its pivotal role, estimating its worth at over US$ 626.2 million in 2022, with a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3% propelling it to a staggering US$ 772.2 million by 2029.
Increasing API drug shortages and assembling a task force to overcome these problems, the emergence of cost-effective drug manufacturers in various countries and the supply of API drugs, primarily in developing countries, are further driving ibuprofen API market growth.
The pharmaceutical API industry is witnessing a substantial crunch in supply and demand of Ibuprofen API, halted production from major ibuprofen API manufacturers, and supply chain disruption in China further led by declining sales in India.
The volatility in Ibuprofen API is due to factors such as a lower number of competitors, reduced utilization ratio, lower margin level, new higher-value opportunities in complex combinations and high-grade API, the pace of facility inspection by FDA, and ramping up production capacity of through mergers and consolidation.
The diverse range of diseases, primarily cardiovascular disease, infectious diseases, diabetes, and kidney-related complications, has a high prevalence, globally. Thus, the increasing prevalence of a diverse range of diseases among all age groups and its burden, globally, drives the demand for drug development and its market.
There has been an upsurge in the usage of advanced technologies, such as high throughput, bioinformatics and combinatorial chemistry for better drug candidate identification. Drug discovery has evolved significantly with emerging technologies, helping the process to become more refined, accurate, and less time-consuming. Due to automation, multi-detector readers, imaging hardware and software, high-throughput screening is one of the most widely used drug discovery technologies.
