The generic pharmaceutical market is on the rise as product innovation declines and patented drugs lose their exclusive rights. It is expected that generic drugs will become widespread in almost all major pharmaceutical markets by 2020, with a particular focus on this trend in India and China. This shift has created a competitive landscape where manufacturers of patented therapies must now contend with generic drug manufacturers.
As the generic pharmaceutical market gains prominence, manufacturers are increasingly prioritizing cost reduction to stay competitive. This heightened competition has prompted pharmaceutical innovators to explore more efficient manufacturing processes to maintain their market share. Traditionally, cost-cutting measures were implemented in the later stages of clinical development, but the growing pressure to save money has led innovators to empower their employees to develop the necessary skills for cost-effective production.
One strategy employed by pharmaceutical innovators is the investment in new technologies to enhance the productivity and efficiency of manufacturing intermediates for drugs like duloxetine. Duloxetine is a medication used to treat major depressive disorder and chronic musculoskeletal pain. The main brand of duloxetine, Cymbalta, lost its patent protection in December 2015, opening up opportunities for cost reduction in its production.
One key area of innovation in cost reduction is the use of biocatalysts in the manufacturing process. Biocatalysts are substances that accelerate chemical reactions, and in the pharmaceutical industry, they play a crucial role in reducing costs while maintaining a sustainable and environmentally friendly manufacturing process. Incorporating biocatalysts in the production of duloxetine can lead to significant cost savings without compromising the quality of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API).
By adopting more effective manufacturing processes and embracing new technologies, pharmaceutical innovators aim to not only cut costs but also to maintain the quality and efficacy of their products. This strategic approach is essential in the face of increasing competition from generic drug manufacturers who benefit from lower production costs due to the absence of research and development expenses.
Duloxetine Atorvastatin Intermediates Market Size was valued at USD 49.09 Billion in 2023. The Global Duloxetine Atorvastatin Intermediates industry is projected to grow from USD 51.80 Billion in 2024 to USD 73.40 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.95% during the forecast period (2024 - 2032). Duloxetine intermediate is a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) which is widely approved for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence in women, major depressive disorder (MDD), and other chronic diseases. The atorvastatin intermediate is commonly used in lowering the cholesterol level and helps prevent cardiovascular diseases.
Rising prevalence of major depressive disorder (MOD), the growing importance of generics, increasing demand for atorvastatin intermediate, rising incidence of chronic diseases are expected to enhance the duloxetine intermediate and atorvastatin intermediates market growth. However, factors such as increasing healthcare cost and unfavorable drug price control policies across various countries may restrain the duloxetine intermediate and atorvastatin intermediates market growth during the forecast period.
The duloxetine intermediate and atorvastatin intermediates market has been primarily driven by the rising prevalence of major depressive disorder (MOD), the growing importance of generics, increasing demand for atorvastatin intermediate, and growing incidence of chronic diseases. For instance, as per the survey carried out by the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology in 2016, around 37.5% (43.2 million) to 48.6% (56 million) of the US adults were on treatment by atorvastatin intermediate. Factors such as rising healthcare cost, unfavorable drug price control policies across various countries may restrain the duloxetine intermediate and atorvastatin intermediates market growth during the forecast period.
The duloxetine intermediate and atorvastatin intermediates market is segmented into an intermediate type. Based on intermediate, the market is bifurcated into duloxetine intermediates and atorvastatin intermediates. Duloxetine Intermediate segment held a duloxetine intermediate and atorvastatin intermediates market share of 32393.03 USD Million in 2017.
The prominent players in the Duloxetine Intermediate and Atorvastatin Intermediates market are Jiangxi Aifeimu Technology Co., Ltd, Zhejiang Jiuzhou Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd, Jigs Chemicals, Manus Aktteva, Arch Pharmalabs, Afine Chemicals Ltd, Shodhana Laboratories, Fluorochem Ltd, Chiral Bio Sciences Ltd, Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.
The duloxetine intermediate and atorvastatin intermediates market, based on region, has been divided into the Americas, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East & Africa.
The Americas accounts the largest market share, wherein North America is expected to dominate the market mainly due to the increasing geriatric population and the availability of advanced healthcare facilities in this region.
Europe is anticipated to account for the second-largest market share during the forecast period. The factors responsible for market growth in this region are well-established healthcare infrastructure and the increase in adoption of duloxetine intermediate and atorvastatin intermediates for the treatment of various chronic disease and major mental disorders.
Asia-Pacific is estimated to be the fastest-growing region in the duloxetine intermediate and atorvastatin intermediates market. This can be attributed to developing economies such as China, India, and South Korea emerging as major destinations for the outsourcing of clinical trials, drug manufacturing, and pathology testing. Japan held a market share of 18.5% in 2017.
Also, the duloxetine intermediate and atorvastatin intermediates market in the Middle East and Africa region is projected to account for the least share during the review period. The Middle East is expected to influence the market owing to the increasing use of duloxetine intermediate and atorvastatin intermediates for the treatment of various chronic disorders in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the UAE.
