India: The Growing Hub of API

August 6, 2025

India is rapidly emerging as a global powerhouse in the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) sector. With over 2000 APIs in production and a projected growth rate of 13.7% CAGR, India has solidified its position as the world’s third-largest API producer. Notably, it contributes 57% of the WHO’s prequalified API list, reflecting its critical role in global healthcare.

Indian pharma companies lead with cost-effective API production, enabling access to affordable, high-quality medicines worldwide. Backed by a robust manufacturing base, India exports APIs to over 200 countries, establishing itself as a key player in the global pharmaceutical supply chain.

Compliance with international standards, such as USFDA, WHO-GMP, and CEP ensures reliability, safety, and quality. Moreover, Indian manufacturers offer tailored formulations to meet diverse regulatory and market demands, ensuring flexibility and a competitive edge.

Innovation remains at the core, with continuous R&D driving better drug efficacy and patient outcomes. Indian APIs also span a wide therapeutic spectrum, from cardiovascular care to oncology.
