High potency active pharmacological substances are those that exhibit effects at incredibly low concentrations. Their substantial interest in the cutting-edge drugs under development highlights their importance and future applications. High potency active pharmaceutical ingredients (HPAPI) are also much more effective at much lower dosage levels than ordinary APIs, which is why the healthcare sector is employing them more and more to treat serious disorders.
Europe High Potency API’s Market Driving Factors and Challenges
Drivers: The market's main drivers are the expiration of drug patents, the introduction of more affordable generic alternatives, the rise in demand for cancer treatment, the large number of cancer treatment drugs under development, the growth in contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs) and contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDOs). The number of collaborations between CMOs, CDMOs, and pharmaceutical companies has increased recently. These companies often lack the resources necessary to move their products from the first stages of development to production and market launch. As a result, CMOs and CDMOs work with these organizations to advance the high potency API production phases, which expands the market.
Additionally, Industry expansion is also being driven by decreasing prices and factors such branded medicine patents expiring. About 20 oncology biologics have patents expiring in 2023, according to June 2021 American Journal of Managed Care research. This could result in the development of more biosimilars for cancer treatment and lower costs. The market can increase rapidly throughout the projection period as a result of these factors.
Challenges: Process designs are among the most important prerequisites for HPAPI production operations. Most HPAPI and ADC medication payloads require small clinical and commercial volumes to be produced. However, creating gram-scale GMP APIs and payloads is challenging. It could be challenging to keep containment control when using flexible, tiny equipment, particularly glass equipment. Every process and unit functioning requires a unique strategy. In order to ensure that the process fits the facility's equipment and capabilities when it is scaled up, maintaining appropriate process designs at the developing stage is also essential. Furthermore, there is a general lack of clarity in the market about HPAPI classification.
Impact of COVID-19 on Europe High Potency API’s Market
The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the European industry for High Potency Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (HPAPIs). During the pandemic, production and delivery of HPAPIs encountered challenges across the region due to decreased manufacturing capacities, lockdown protocols, and disruptions in global supply chains. Pharmaceutical businesses experienced delays in clinical studies and regulatory authorization because to logistical issues and budget allocation towards mitigating the infection. Moreover, the effectiveness of operations was hindered by the enforcement of stringent safety standards and social distancing measures in manufacturing plants.
