Rising Chinese Investments in New Chemical Segments
China’s chemical industry originally focused primarily on basic chemicals, in line with the domestic needs of a developing economy and the lower technology requirements for the production of these materials. By now, China dominates the global market for many such chemicals – for example, the country accounts for about 55% of the global capacity for acetic acid, about 50% of the global carbon black capacity and about 45% of the global capacity for titanium dioxide. For many such commodity chemicals, China started out as a net importer, then built up domestic capacity and ended up being a major exporter.

Increasing the Sustainability of API Production
For Siegfried, sustainability is much more than a phrase with a green coating. The term, which encompasses social and economic criteria in addition to ecological aspects, is one of five central corporate values. One of the biggest levers for reducing energy and resource consumption in the pharma supply chain lies in the efficient production of active ingredients and pharmaceuticals. The company therefore works consistently on optimizing its processes.
Expanding Expertise in Highly-Potent APIs
After acquiring the two Catalonian sites in Barberà del Vallès and El Masnou about two years ago, Siegfried is now significantly expanding its expertise in the production of complex Drug Products containing Highly-Potent APIs (HPAPIs). In addition, the company has opened a new development center for oral solid dosage forms with active ingredients and HPAPIs as well as for ophthalmic sterile products. This not only strengthens Siegfried's position in the area of drug products, but also its global network and international competitiveness.
Small Substances with Big Effects
The market for APIs is expanding significantly. Experts predict annual growth rates between 4.5 and 7.6 percent by 2029. There are plenty of good reasons for this: Chronic diseases are on the rise - and with them the need for medicines and active ingredients. In addition, the economic upswing in several emerging countries means that more people can afford novel medicines. APIs are also benefiting from the trend toward personalized medicine and the growing understanding of diseases. Meanwhile, API developers and manufacturers are working on increasingly sophisticated methods to better handle these delicate substances.
Opportunities and Limits of Sustainability
The Pharmaceutical industry must prioritize sustainability. Jürgen Roos, Chief Scientific Officer (CSO) of Siegfried, explains opportunities and limits of sustainability.
Sustainability – The Many Facets of Action
Climate change, energy crisis, the call for a more environmentally compatible production method and socially responsible action do not stop at the pharmaceutical and biotech industries. Sustainability is becoming a central competitive and reputation factor and carries a high economic value. This need not be to the industry´s disadvantage. It helps companies to make processes more efficient, reduces energy consumption and keeps costs in check. But is the pharmaceutical industry already doing enough in this regard?
