Overview


According to FutureWise analysis, the Sterile Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients market is estimated to be US$ 74.31 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 124.1 billion in 2031 at a CAGR of 6.60%.

Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) are used as ingredients in sterile medicinal products that need to be sterile unless the ultimate dosage form undergoes terminal sterilization or is created by a process that involves a step of sterilizing filtration. APIs intended for parenteral products must also comply with relevant pyrogens or bacterial endotoxins specifications. The manufacture of sterile APIs must be strictly controlled to minimize the risk of contamination with microorganisms, endotoxins, and particulates. In cases where the final dosage form is not sterilized by filtration, the APIs should be practically free of particles. The manufacture of sterile APIs is generally conducted within clean rooms, the grade required (A, B, or C) being dependent on the type of processing carried out. Clean rooms should be appropriately designed and equipped to maintain the relevant air quality regarding particulates and microbial levels. Air supplies should be filtered through HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters with proper efficiency. The number of air changes should be related to the room's classification, the equipment, and the number of persons present in the worst situation. An air pressure differential of 10-15 Pascals (higher air change rates may be necessary, e.g., when handling APIs that generate many particles) is recommended. HEPA filters should be regularly tested for integrity using a suitable aerosol challenge test. An initial test should be done when the HEPA units are installed; then, integrity testing should be repeated appropriately. Care should be given to the frequency of change of the HEPA filters.
