The worldwide market for special chemicals known as chiral chemicals is on track to grow by about 11.25%. This growth is fueled by various reasons. A major one is the increased use of these chemicals in making medicines, especially in countries where the pharmaceutical industry is expanding. These chemicals are also finding more applications in creating agricultural chemicals, contributing to the overall growth of the market. The growth of the pharmaceutical sector in regions like South Asia is creating new opportunities for businesses involved in producing and selling these chemicals. Additionally, a new method of making these chemicals, called biocatalytic synthesis, is creating fresh possibilities. However, challenges, such as strict government rules and concerns about the environment due to the use of these chemicals in pesticides, could slow down the market's growth in the future.
Now, if we look at the global pharmaceutical market, it was worth a whopping USD 998.2 billion in 2018. North America, including the US and Canada, had the largest piece of this market at almost 49%, surpassing Europe and Japan. The growth in North America and Europe is being driven by their strong pharmaceutical industries, a growing population of older individuals, and an increase in people dealing with long-term health issues such as heart disease, cancer, respiratory problems, diabetes, and kidney diseases. In 2020, there were around 19.3 million new cases of cancer worldwide. Asia had the highest number of cases at nearly 50%, followed by the Americas (including North and Latin America) at 20.9%, and Europe at 22.8%. The global pharmaceutical industry is investing more money in research and development (R&D), which is expected to further boost the growth of the market. In Europe, the growth of the pharmaceutical industry in countries like Germany and France, combined with people's increasing preference for products made from natural sources, is likely to increase the demand for chiral chemicals.
In simpler terms, the global market for a special type of chemicals called chiral chemicals is expected to grow by about 11.25%. This growth is because more and more of these chemicals are being used to make medicines, especially in countries where they are making more and more drugs. These chemicals are also being used more in making agricultural chemicals, which is helping the market to get bigger. The pharmaceutical industry is growing a lot in places like South Asia, and that's creating new opportunities for companies that make and sell these chemicals. There's also a new way of making these chemicals called biocatalytic synthesis, which is giving companies more ways to create them. But, there are challenges too, like strict rules from governments and worries about how these chemicals might affect the environment when used in pesticides. These challenges could slow down how fast the market grows in the future.
Now, if we look at the big global market for medicines, it was worth a huge USD 998.2 billion in 2018. North America, which includes the US and Canada, had the biggest part of this market at almost 49%, beating Europe and Japan. The growth in North America and Europe is happening because they have strong pharmaceutical industries, more older people, and more people with long-term health problems. In 2020, there were about 19.3 million new cases of cancer around the world. Asia had the most cases at almost 50%, followed by the Americas at 20%, and Europe at 23%. The global pharmaceutical industry is spending more money on research and development, which is expected to help the market grow. In Europe, the growth of the pharmaceutical industry in countries like Germany and France, and the fact that people like products made from natural sources, is expected to make more people want chiral chemicals.
