Small molecule API is a technology platform used by biotechnology and other chemical industries for the production of a variety of pharmaceutical products. The term "API" is an abbreviation for "amperspace ingredient". This term has been recently approved by FDA as recognized by leading health care organizations such as FDA and CFSAN. It refers to isolated proteins that can be used as components of various cell cultures and injectables, with the potential of being used in the manufacture of therapeutic proteins. In this regard, Small Molecule is a highly versatile high-quality protein source for biotechnology research and development. Biotech businesses and generic biotechnological product manufacturers use small molecule products in their respective cell cultures and injectable delivery systems for the development of therapeutic proteins for various diseases.
Small molecule API has a global market opportunity. It provides several opportunities such as off-product outsourcing, pre-clinical and clinical research support, primary and secondary drugs manufacturing, and primary and secondary packaging design and validation facilities. Moreover, it is considered to be one of the best platforms for small molecule manufacturers and biotechnological product developers. Additionally, the cost of this product is less compared to established products.
Currently, the demand in this industry is projected to grow at a significant CAGR growth rate over the coming years. Factors like increasing access price and lowering the barrier of entry for new entrants will contribute to the slowdown in the growth of this industry. Research and development spending has been increasing in the last few years to counter the competition. The competition in this industry is expected to grow with an increase in core cell production capacity. Thus, Small Molecule API has a significant role in the preclinical and clinical research application.
