What Is The Crucial Factor Driving The Global Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients Market?
The active pharmaceutical ingredients market is anticipated to grow, driven by the rising prevalence of chronic diseases. Chronic diseases, defined as diseases persisting for three months or longer and possibly deteriorating over time, are predominantly characterized by conditions like cancer, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and arthritis. Active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are utilized in the production of high-quality medications to treat diseases related to oncology, cardiology, neurology, orthopedic, among other illnesses. For example, the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), a Belgium-based organization dedicated to advocating for the global treatment, control, and eradication of diabetes, predicts in its IDF Diabetes Atlas that the global diabetes population is set to increase to 578 million by 2030, and 700 million by 2045. Alarmingly, nearly half of diabetes-related fatalities are among adults under the age of 60, ranking it among the top 10 causes of death. Consequently, the escalating prevalence of chronic diseases is projected to fuel the growth of the active pharmaceutical ingredients market.
