Both top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the complete market size. After that, market breakdown and data triangulation procedures were used to estimate the market size of segments and subsegments.

 
Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient Market Dynamics:

DRIVER: Adoption of organ on chip models in drug development

Despite massive investments in pharma R&D, there has been a direct decrease in the annual number of new FDA-approved drugs—almost directly proportional to the increase in R&D spending. To curb the high cost of drug development, there is a growing need to develop predictive tissue models using human cells to determine drug efficacy and safety in advance of clinical testing.

In this regard, the organ-on-a-chip technology is expected to fill the gaps in drug screening by offering predictive human tissue models. This technology has the potential to revolutionize the pharmaceutical industry by making drug development faster, cheaper, and successful. Thus, the adoption of organ-on-chip models in drug development is considered as a positive indicator of the growth of the APIs market.

RESTRAINT: Unfavourable drug price control policy

Over the last few years, there has been a gradual increase in the regulation of pharmaceutical drug prices globally. The US is a major unregulated market; however, several prominent countries have regulated drug prices. Governments induce price controls to limit spending on pharmaceuticals. However, regulated drug prices mostly result in revenue losses to pharmaceutical companies. These revenue losses lead to a reduction in global R&D spending, which results in fewer new molecular entities (NMEs) being developed per annum.

Such price control policies that reduce pharmaceutical revenues may provide modest relief to individual purchasers; however, they pose risks to long-term innovation in the pharmaceutical industry. For instance, the National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (NPPA) of India enforced the Drugs Price Control Order (DPCO) Act in 2013, which empowered it to fix a ceiling on the retail price of drugs. Since then, the list of drugs under price control has steadily expanded from 74 in 1995 to nearly 860 by 2019.
