Phytochemical APIs are active chemical compounds extracted from plants with the help of semi-synthetic procedures and possess medicinal properties. Phytochemicals are divided into two categories such as primary and secondary constituents. Primary phytochemicals includes chlorophyll, proteins, sugar, and amino acids, while secondary constituents contain terpenoids and alkaloids. Phytochemical API plays an important role in pharmaceutical companies for the production of new drugs for curing various diseases.

Global Phytochemical API Market Drivers

Increasing preferences of herbal medicines over allopathic drugs is expected to boost growth of the phytochemical API market. Moreover, increasing initiatives by pharmacognosy research to develop drugs containing natural chemical compounds is another factor to drive the phytochemical API market growth. For instance, in 2017, as per new research paper published in the Journal of Natural Compounds, International Cooperative Biodiversity Group discovered new chemical, Patentiflorin A, which is derived from willow-leaved Justicia. Patentiflorin A could inhibit the action of reverse transcriptase much more effectively than Azidothymidine (AZT). AZT is an antiretroviral medication used to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS. Patentiflorin A acts as a novel anti-HIV agent that can be used with current anti-HIV drugs to suppress the activity of HIV virus and prevent AIDS.

However, availability of prominent allopathic drugs to cure disease conditions in lesser time interval than herbal drugs is expected to hinder the growth of phytochemical API market.
