Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Market: US Continues to Rely Heavily on Foreign API Sources

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) initially highlighted concerns about the heavy US reliance on foreign active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) manufacturing in 2019. At that time, a significant 72% of API facilities supplying the US were overseas, and China accounted for 13% of these sources. While investment into the domestic API manufacturing sector has been a focus in recent years, reliance on foreign suppliers persists. To provide further insight into this situation, the USP (US Pharmacopeia) employed the Medicine Supply Map tool. This system uses machine learning and data from the FDA and other global regulatory agencies to map manufacturing locations for approximately 90% of active API Drug Master Files (DMFs) worldwide. This analysis provides a snapshot of the US reliance on foreign API sources as of the end of 2021.

The USP Medicine Supply Map analysis highlights that India currently accounts for 48% of active API DMFs in the US pharmaceutical manufacturing market, with China following at 13%, and the US trailing at only 10%. Examining trends over time reveals India's dominance has grown significantly, contributing 62% of active API DMFs filed in 2021, compared to just 20% in 2000. In contrast, Europe's contribution has fallen from 49% in 2000 to only 7% in 2021. While China's contribution has increased, the US's share of new API DMF filings remains low at 4% in both 2019 and 2021.

Pain Therapeutics are Leading the Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Market, Control Over 32.7% Market Revenue

Chronic pain is a widespread and debilitating health issue with far-reaching consequences. Globally, an estimated 1.5 billion individuals – a staggering one in five people – suffer from chronic pain, with prevalence increasing as people age. In the United States alone, roughly 50 million adults are affected, resulting in an annual cost to society of $560-$635 billion.  Studies indicate that over 30% of the Chinese population experiences chronic pain, and the issue is particularly pronounced in middle- and low-income countries, reaching up to 56% among the elderly.  Worldwide, the percentage of adults suffering from pain stands at 20%, with 10% receiving a new chronic pain diagnosis annually.

Leading causes of chronic pain include arthritis, nerve damage, and cancer pain. Conditions like low back pain, neck pain, and osteoarthritis are among the top contributors to years lived with disability (YLD) on a global scale. Osteoarthritis alone impacts 15% of the world's population over 30, with projections estimating nearly 1 billion sufferers by 2050, adding more fuel to the demand for pain medicine in pharmaceutical manufacturing market. Opioids, while effective in some cases, carry a high risk of addiction.  In 2023, a quarter of a billion opioid prescriptions were written in the US.  Commonly prescribed pain medications include hydrocodone-acetaminophen (the most prescribed), ibuprofen, and tramadol.  Alongside medications, treatment often involves physical therapy and off-label use of antidepressants and anti-seizure drugs.

Chronic pain's impact extends beyond the individual, contributing significantly to disability while disrupting lives through sleep problems, depression, and fatigue.  Disadvantaged socioeconomic groups often face the highest burden of pain while having limited access to effective treatment options. It's essential to remember that medications carry risks – acetaminophen can cause liver damage, and NSAID overdoses, while often asymptomatic, can lead to complications.
