The pharmaceutical intermediates market has been witnessing significant growth over the past few years. Pharmaceutical intermediates are chemical compounds produced during the various steps of pharmaceutical drug synthesis. They help in efficiently manufacturing drugs in large quantities with minimum resources. Rising prevalence of chronic diseases along with increasing R&D investments by pharmaceutical companies are fueling the demand for intermediates. Additionally, the growing geriatric population worldwide prone to chronic medical conditions is positively influencing the market growth. However, strict regulatory frameworks for the approval of new intermediates and high capital requirement for setting up manufacturing facilities are some challenges restraining the market growth. Overall, the widespread use of intermediates in streamlining drug production processes indicates huge opportunities for market expansion in the coming years.
The global pharmaceutical intermediates market is primarily driven by the growing incidence of lifestyle-induced chronic diseases like diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disorders, etc. Favorable government policies supporting local drug manufacturing is another key factor pushing the market growth. On the other hand, factors like high R&D costs associated with developing novel intermediates and lengthy approval times from regulatory bodies are slowing the market progress. Also, intense competition among established players poses major challenge to new entrants. However, rising pharmaceutical outsourcing trends from developing countries present lucrative opportunities for market players. Continued technological innovations to develop safe and eco-friendly intermediates will further support the market expansion over the forecast period.
