The global lyophilized injectable market size was exhibited at USD 2.91 billion in 2022 and is projected to hit around USD 5.17 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 5.9% during the forecast period 2023 to 2032.
Key Pointers:
Lyophilization is the most commonly used method for the manufacturing of parenteral pharmaceutical products, when the product is unstable in aqueous solution. It is central to the protection of materials, which require low moisture content (less than 1%) in order to ensure stability and require a sterile and gentle preservation process.
Improved quality and shelf life of lyophilized drugs has attracted industry experts to implement lyophilization in their manufacturing processes. Contract research and manufacturing organizations have increased the use of lyophilized injectable drugs to provide quality products to customers. Therefore, rapidly growing contract research manufacturing services (CRAMS) is projected to drive the global lyophilized injectable market.
Lyophilized injectable drugs are stable at ambient temperatures and only require simple rehydration to be ready to use. This removes many sources of pipetting errors, while streamlining and simplifying workflows.
Elimination of the cold chain minimizes costs and carbon footprint, and provides a positive environmental impact by minimizing the need of expanded polystyrene (EPS or ‘Styrofoam’) containers often utilized to ship temperature-controlled products
Lyophilized products are considered safe for use, while delivering the desired functionality compared to non-lyophilized products. Moreover, lyophilization helps retain the biological and chemical activity of the chemical compound in the final product. This drives the demand for lyophilized injectable drugs in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.
The ever-evolving nature of coronavirus has become a major threat to the public health, owing to its severe respiratory symptoms. Ongoing studies are surfacing about the safety and efficacy of novel lyophilized therapeutic agents in hospitalized adult patients diagnosed with COVID-19. Amid all this, healthcare giant Cipla - a global pharmaceutical company is gaining recognition for introducing its CIPREMI, a remdesivir lyophilized powder for injection (100mg). Manufacturers in the lyophilized injectable market are taking cues from such innovations to increase the availability of the U.S. FDA-approved emergency use authorization (EUA) treatment for patients with severe COVID-19 symptoms.
Since India is suffering from a third wave of the pandemic, companies in the India lyophilized injectable market are increasing efforts to gain regulatory approval by the Drug Controller General of India (DCGI) for restricted emergency use in the country.
