The booming oncology research and rising cases of cancer, diabetes, and other cardiovascular diseases have created a sizeable demand for dedicated treatments, thereby driving the high potency active pharmaceutical ingredient (HPAPI) market. The HPAPI market stood at a valuation of US$2.64 bn in 2014. The cost containment strategies adopted by companies through outsourcing are favoring market growth.

This has brought down the cost of drugs drastically, making them affordable to a larger audience. The positive result of this trend is seen on the increased focus of companies on drug development and commercialization. As a result of these favorable trends, the HPAPI market is projected to be worth US$25.11 bn by 2023. Between 2015 and 2023, the market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 8.3%.

[b]Outsourcing Turns Focus on Drug Development and Commercialization[/b]

Increasing outsourcing of manufacturing activities by the HPAPI companies have drastically brought down the cost of drugs. It has also translated into the expansion of geographical spread of the market, thereby pushing HPAPI revenues upward. This change in strategy and supportive regulatory framework to safeguard patent infringement has also allowed pharmaceutical companies to focus on commercialization of drugs and drug development, thus allowing the companies to strengthen their pipelines. The noteworthy reduction in financial burden is expected to be an impactful market driver.

Development of drugs that are aimed at specific results has also substantiated the demand for HPAPI drugs. Furthermore, the biggest advantage of minimal or no side effects of these drugs is making them a preferred therapy option in the healthcare sector. A key market driver in the global HPAPI market is the patent expiry of patented drugs, which is paving the way for generic drug producers. This trend is expected to make the market exceptionally competitive and thus resulting in a sharp decline of prices.

However, despite the impending patent expirations of high revenue generating blockbuster drugs, the market for branded HPAPIs will remain larger than its non-branded counterpart thanks to the high cost of branded drugs.

[b]Lack of Skilled Labor Prevents Market from Reaching Larger Consumer Base[/b]

The capital intensive nature of high potency API manufacturing activities has been the major barrier for the market. Furthermore, the need to hire exceptionally skilled labor for drug development and production is also acting as a restraint for the overall market. Moreover, the lack of universality in establishing norms regarding occupational, health, and environmental safety while researching and manufacturing high potency APIs is also threatening the growth of this market.
