Cholesterol API Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2022-2028)

Report Description

Global Cholesterol API Market is expected to grow at a significant rate of around 4.8% during the forecast period. Cholesterol is the most used sterol in the formulation of liposomes which can prevent liposome aggregation and improve the liposomal membrane’s stability. Cholesterol plays a crucial role in the stability of a liposomal membrane. Thus, the rising use of liposomal formulations in drug delivery systems is set to boost sales of cholesterol APIs across the globe. Moreover, Cholesterol API is found in the lipid shells used in the production of RNA vaccines, giving the vaccine exceptional stability by halting the activity of enzyme breakdown. They are often derived from plants and animals, although they can also be chemically manufactured in laboratories. For instance, in March 2022, Croda International Plc, announced the support of the UK government to the expansion of its manufacturing facility which is estimated to boost the development of high-purity lipid systems for next-generation nucleic acid drugs such as mRNA vaccines. Thus, the above-mentioned factors drive the cholesterol API market.

Merck KGaA, Cayman Chemical, CordenPharma International, Croda International Plc, NOF CORPORATION, Nippon Fine Chemical Co., Ltd., Akums, Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., Evonik Industries AG, CARBOGEN AMCIS are some of the key players in the market. Several M&As along with partnerships have been undertaken by these players to facilitate customers with hi-tech and innovative products/technologies.

Insights Presented in the Report

“Amongst source, animal-derived held a significant share in the market in 2020”

Based on source, the market is segmented into animal-derived, plant-derived, and synthetic. The animal-derived category held a significant market share in 2020. Plant-derived bioactive compounds, often called phytochemicals, are active substances extracted from different plants. Plant-derived cholesterol is becoming more and more in demand. For instance, in 2021, Evonik Industries AG, Phytochol® is a plant-derived cholesterol for mRNA delivery, gene therapy, and cell culture. Cholesterol is an important functional excipient for parenteral mRNA-based drug delivery systems.

“Amongst end user, the RNA vaccines held a significant CAGR during the forecast period”

On the basis of end user, the market is categorized into RNA vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, and others. Among these, RNA vaccines held a significant CAGR during the forecast period. This is mainly due to the cholesterol-lowering vaccine could help tackle heart disease. RNA-Cholesterol nanoparticles function as potent immune activators via TLR7 and TLR8. The innate immune system senses viral and bacterial ribonucleic acid (RNA) via pattern recognition receptors (PRR) leading to subsequent activation of the immune system.

“APAC held a significant share in the market”

In 2020, APAC held a significant share of the global cholesterol API market. This is mainly attributed to the presence of multiple domestic and foreign API producers in China as well as their ongoing investments in the globalization of supply chains are credited with the industry’s growth. The market will be driven by the presence of multiple generic API producers in India as well as the development of that nation’s pharmaceutical sector. In addition, a big number of foreign companies are expected to enter the Indian market as a result of the availability of labor and raw commodities that are reasonably inexpensive. The region’s bioprocess industry is also anticipated to drive up demand for cholesterol APIs.
