Dublin, Aug. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Cytotoxic Drugs & HPAPI Manufacturing Market Industry Trends and Global Forecasts to 2035, by Type of Product, Company Size, Scale of Operation, Type of Molecule, Type of Highly Potent Finished Dosage Form and Key Geographies" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global cytotoxic drugs and HPAPI manufacturing market is estimated to grow from USD 11.7 billion in the current year to USD 39.9 billion by 2035, at a CAGR of 11.6% during the forecast period to 2035.

With advances in clinical pharmacology and oncology research, and the increasing demand for targeted therapies, high potency active pharmaceutical ingredients (HPAPIs) and cytotoxic drugs have become the key focus of researchers and drug manufacturers across the world. It is worth highlighting that 45% of the drugs globally are highly potent leading to specialized HPAPI production. However, manufacturing HPAPIs is a complex process and therefore, there are various challenges associated with the process.

The biggest challenge is to inhibit cross-contamination during manufacturing followed by the protection of the environment, workers and everyone across the supply chain. It is equally important to choose the correct containment and protective strategy, inclusive of containment equipment, procedures and PPE. HPAPIs handling generally requires continued investment in the area of safe handling, the need for global guidance and advance technical expertise adding to the challenges in the domain. Therefore, drug developers are actively outsourcing their manufacturing operations.

Understanding the vast potential and positive growth outlook of the contract manufacturing market, the majority of big pharma players are looking to make investments to expand and / or upgrade their current manufacturing facilities. A number of CMOs are investing in new facilities in developing countries such as Japan, China, India and Brazil to avail the benefits of lower manufacturing costs, cheap and skilled labor and supportive regulatory landscapes in these areas.

Driven by the overall growth of the anti-cancer therapeutics industry, recent technological advancements and the growing trend of outsourcing, the market is anticipated to witness steady growth in the coming decade.
