Key Factors Boosting Demand in the Pharmaceutical Intermediates Market
The rising production of pharmaceutical drugs is a primary driver stimulating growth in the pharmaceutical intermediates market. The drug production process involves multiple stages to synthesize complex molecules, with pharmaceutical intermediates representing the compounds generated during these intermediate steps. As more intricate and targeted drugs are developed, the need for such intermediates rises accordingly.

For instance, data from November 2023 released by the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA), a Belgium-based trade association representing Europe’s pharmaceutical sector, showed that pharmaceutical production in Europe reached €390,000 million ($422,803 million) in 2023, an increase from €363,300 million ($393,857 million) in 2022. This growing pharmaceutical output clearly drives demand for pharmaceutical intermediates.
