 “The market is highly competitive, compelling the key players to aim at strategic partnerships. Some of the leading players have been focusing on strategic collaborations to expand their footprint and portfolio” says Sabyasachi Ghosh (Associate Vice President at Future Market Insights, Inc.

The use of external resources (people, equipment, and/or expertise) to facilitate the preparation of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) or advanced intermediates has become a common practice for most pharmaceutical development organizations. In early development, the reasons to seek external support for the manufacture of API were attributed to several factors, including a lack of sufficient internal capacity, a need to source unique technical expertise, or a desire to achieve overall cost reductions.

For organizations that have no internal GMP manufacturing capabilities whatsoever (e.g. biotech companies), outsourcing is, of course, a necessity. However, companies that have some level of internal manufacturing capacity may have options to use outsourcing to their strategic advantage. This outsourcing capability has increased the source of generating more revenue for new emerging companies. For the fast growth of the industry, they follow outsourcing strategies.

In addition, key players in the Global Small Molecule (API) Industry are keenly focusing on carrying out strategic activities such as advanced technology for manufacturing, and acquisitions, to create a strong position in the market is leading to vigorous developments which is helping the market to grow at a considerable rate.

For Instance, In January 2020, Novartis acquired of operations of Aspen in Japan. This acquisition strengthened Sandoz’s position in the world market of off-patent medicines and generic drug manufacturing.
