The global high potency active pharmaceutical ingredient (HPAPI) market was pegged at US$ 21.0 billion in 2020 and is expected to witness a CAGR of 8.4% during the forecast period.
Market Fundamentals
High potency active pharmaceutical ingredients are pharmacologically active substances that exhibit biological activity at extremely low concentrations. Each HPAPI has a limit of daily therapeutic dose of <10 mg or an occupational exposure limit (OEL) of < 10¼g/m3 at an 8-hour average. In order to manufacture these compounds, specialized considerations must be made for the facility design, equipment, operation, and safety processes to achieve the best level of containment of the drug product. HPAPI can be a small-molecule, biologic, or a hybrid of the two such as an Antibody-drug conjugates, which links a cytotoxic small-molecule to a monoclonal antibody. Examples of HPAPIs include cytotoxic compounds as well as sex hormones such as estrogen.
