APIs are frequently referred as "bulk pharmaceuticals". The active pharmaceutical ingredient is a biologically active portion of any pharmaceutical drug. Occasionally, API needs cofactor in order to attain specific effects on the body. Some active pharmaceutical ingredients are unidentified and therefore need additional substances, which can work in combination with the API to generate the required medicinal effect on the body. In herbal medicines, the API is generally a mixture of various substances, which act collectively on the body.

The market for API is expected to have the highest growth rate in the forecast period. The increasing prevalence of diabetes, neurological disorders, and other chronic diseases are the major driving factor of the global API market.
