Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) are witnessing a massive surge in production during COVID-19 Pandemic
An active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) is any substance or
combination of substances typically used in a finished pharmaceutical product
(FPP). The conventional term used for active pharmaceutical agents is pharmakon
that originally denoted a magical drug or substance. Generally, pharmaceutical
companies are involved in the production of APIs in their home countries.
However, these companies have started outsourcing the manufacturing overseas,
in order to cut costs. As a result of this, there have been significant changes
in how drugs are regulated and relevant guidelines. A number of research
institutions have been working hard to come out with effective and useful APIs
for the betterment of mankind.
They are also looking forward to providing useful information on
these powerful medicines to the patients. This information has been included in
an active
pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) market report that has been made
available to the consumers. This is a useful reference for anyone who is
looking forward to making some research on the various benefits of these
ingredients. The healthcare industry has witnessed a massive surge in the
recent past. This is typically due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has
necessitated the demand for innovative drugs and treatments.
Singapore, particularly, witnessed a spike of 86% in
pharmaceutical production in 2020 so far with around a 175% increase in
pharmaceutical shipments. The companies and government agencies in Singapore
are focused on building large inventories of active pharmaceutical ingredients.
Key companies in Italy, Singapore, and the U.S. are focused on research and
development activities, in order to come up with innovative content. As a
matter of fact, some pharmaceutical companies in Italy are ramping up their
research and development activities with additional investment and expansion of
production facilities to boost API production. Furthermore, the U.S. Government
has also launched projects to promote API manufacturing with the construction
of new facilities.
