UAE Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) Market Overview, 2027

"The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has made considerable advances in the synthesis of APIs (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients). The UAE has evolved as a prominent participant in the global pharmaceutical sector due to its solid infrastructure, favorable business climate, and strategic position. The UAE government understands the significance of building a robust indigenous pharmaceutical sector and minimizing dependency on imports. As a result, a determined effort has been made to attract investments and create collaborations with major pharmaceutical corporations in order to establish API production facilities in the country. In the pharmaceutical business, the UAE is also dedicated to maintaining high quality and safety standards. To assure the manufacturing of safe and effective APIs, the government has created strong regulatory frameworks and follows international recommendations. This dedication to quality has earned the UAE a reputation as a reliable provider of pharmaceutical components. The expansion of the UAE's API manufacturing business has not only bolstered the domestic pharmaceutical sector but has also aided the country's economic diversification initiatives. The growth of a dynamic API manufacturing business has resulted in job creation, international investment, knowledge transfer, and technology exchange. Finally, the UAE's API manufacturing business has grown significantly as a result of favorable government regulations, modern infrastructure, strategic location, and a dedication to quality. The UAE is positioned to significantly increase its footprint in the global pharmaceutical industry as a top API producer, thanks to its strong foundations and ongoing government backing.

According to the report titled ""UAE Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients Market Overview, 2027"", published by Bonafide Research, the market is expected to grow exorbitantly over the forecast period. Though synthetic APIs are widely used to manufacture drugs, biotech APIs are expected to grow rapidly over the forecast period. This is due to the launches of new drugs and biological products, acquisitions, collaborations, and regional expansion initiatives being taken by the companies to maintain stability in the market. The captive segment has the largest market share and is anticipated to grow in the future owing to the easy availability of raw materials and huge investments by major companies to develop high-end manufacturing facilities. Recent advancements and research suggest that companies are more focused on in-house manufacturing than outsourcing to others. The captive API segment accounted for the major market share and is expected to grow at a steady CAGR over the forecast period. Generic APIs are expected to be in demand over the forecast period as the branded API segment's demands are declining. This is due to the consolidation in the pharma industry and various drugs going off-patent. Due to a rise in over-the-counter drugs and the lower cost of generic drugs, it is expected to lure consumers. The increasing obesity, diabetes, and other chronic diseases, which are long-lasting and require the patient to consume the drugs on a daily basis, drive the demand for cheaper alternatives to save costs. Thus, the demand for generic API will rise in future years coupled with government incentives.

The cardiovascular diseases segment accounts for the largest application due to increasing heart-related diseases worldwide. Rising awareness, preventive treatment, and government measures are further expected to drive future demand for API. On the other hand, oncology applications are expected to grow rapidly over the forecast period due to the changing lifestyles of Millennials and the growing number of cancer patients in recent years. The metabolic disorders caused by sedentary lifestyles and hormonal imbalances created in the human body are the factors increasing the risks of these diseases. Diabetes is another chronic disease that is on the rise among the populace in the country. Though synthetic APIs led the market, biotech APIs are expected to grow rapidly in the forecast period owing to increased demand for biopharmaceuticals and the number of innovations in the field to meet medical needs for various diseases. It is considered to be a highly profitable segment that has attracted many key players to invest in these manufacturing facilities.

COVID-19 Impact: The pandemic had a combination of effects on the API market, creating demand shocks across the world, but some drugs that were required to treat the virus' effects were in huge demand. There was an increased demand for fever, cold, and cough drugs. In 2020 it decreased by -2.80% due to supply chain logistics which were at a standstill. However, the future markets are projected to grow exorbitantly as they have recovered from the pandemic shocks. Many manufacturing units in UAE were shut down due to a lack of raw materials and the pandemic effects which affected the world markets for API. Also, the decrease in demand for pharmaceuticals for certain elective procedures has also led to a decline in the market's growth in 2020. The sales declined also because the supply chain logistics were at a standstill due to immobility. Although the demand for drugs like paracetamol, azithromycin, and hydroxychloroquine is up, the demand for them is down. To treat the symptoms and numerous health conditions that a COVID-19 patient may have, such as cough, cold, and high fever, a variety of medications are employed, leading to the pharmaceutical industry being the epicenter of the pandemic. UAE API manufacturers are placing a strong emphasis on meeting international quality standards and regulatory compliance. UAE API manufacturers are increasingly engaging in strategic partnerships and collaborations with global pharmaceutical companies and research institutions. These collaborations facilitate knowledge exchange, technology transfer, and co-development of APIs, enabling UAE manufacturers to gain access to new markets, expertise, and research advancements. To optimize production processes and boost productivity, UAE API producers are utilizing cutting-edge technologies like process automation, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML). To reduce their negative effects on the environment, UAE businesses are introducing eco-friendly procedures and green production techniques.
