The Indian pharmaceutical industry is projected to grow at a CAGR of over 10% to reach a size of
US$ 130 billion by 2030 https: //www. ibef. org/industry/pharmaceutical-india
(3) Key Trends in the Pharma Industry
Changing Government and Regulatory Landscape: Tightening of policy and faster regulatory
approvals are increasing competition, requiring companies to be right âfirst timeâ. With increased
vigilance from regulators, a focus on quality assurance and control has become even more critical.
Shifting Industry Dynamics: shift from âMake in Indiaâ to âDevelop in Indiaâ, increased
globalization, a focus on value addition versus pricing, and change from a competitive to
collaborative mind-set
The emergence of New Go-to-Market Models: managing multiple channels and consumers is
becoming increasingly critical. The rising role of pharmacists vs. physicians, and patient
empowerment are drivers.
Digital: Backbone of Transformation- To remain competitive, companies need to demonstrate
agility in responding to the changing relationship dynamics triggered by new digital players and
invest in data and analytics capabilities.
(4) Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient
The Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) is the vital, biologically active compound in
pharmaceutical products driving therapeutic effects. Whether chemically synthesized or sourced
from nature, APIs play a pivotal role globally in the pharmaceutical supply chain, serving as the
foundation for drug development and manufacturing. As the pharmaceutical industry evolves
towards cutting-edge therapeutics and innovative delivery systems, the demand for sophisticated
APIs is likely to increase.
(5) Global API Market
The global active pharmaceutical ingredients market size was estimated at USD 237.47 billion in
2023 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.75% from 2024 to
s- 2030. Advancements in Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) manufacturing growth of the
biopharmaceutical sector, and an increase in geriatric population are among the key drivers of API
market. An increase in prevalence of chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases and cancer,
is anticipated to boost market growth.
https://www.grandviewresearch.com/industrv-analvsis/active-Dharmaceutical-ingredients-market
Favorable government policies for API production, along with changes in geopolitical situations,
are boosting market growth. The API market is undergoing immense changes due to supply chain
disruption by COVID-19. Countries such as India are being preferred over China for the export of
API owing to geopolitical situations and the demand to reduce dependence on China for API
products. Furthermore, governments of many countries have formulated plans and granted
incentives to promote the production of API.
(6) Indian API Market
The India active pharmaceutical ingredients market size was estimated at USD 18.29 billion in
2023 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 1.7% from 2024 to 2030.
https://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analvsis/india-active-Dharmaceutical-ingredients-
market-report
The key factors boosting the growth of the active pharmaceutical ingredients market are the rising
drug research, rapid technological advancements and development activities for drug
manufacturing, the increasing importance of generics, and the increasing uptake of
biopharmaceuticals. However, the unfavorable drug price control policies across various nations
and high manufacturing costs are expected to hinder the marketâs growth.
(7) Business Overview
Triochem Products Limited has been manufacturing and providing Active Pharmaceutical
Ingredients (API) since its inception in 1972. The Company has temporarily reduced activity after
the Covid-19 pandemic till a clearer picture emerges.
The Company is headquartered in Mumbai, and it has its manufacturing facility at Ambemath in
Maharashtra. The facility has all the required certifications from Indian authorities.
b) Opportunities, Threats, Outlook, Risks and Concerns
(1) Opportunities
The Indian pharmaceutical industry ranks third globally in pharmaceutical production by volume
and is known for its generic medicines and low-cost vaccines. India is one of the biggest suppliers
of low-cost vaccines in the world. The company is well placed to grow as the demand for the
product grows with the fact that this product is the fundamental product.
(2) Threats & Concerns
There is significant competition from other Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) manufacturers
both within India and foreign, however the markets and volumes are quite large. Further, the
governmentâs actions towards price controls on pharmaceutical products might affect the price of
the products in the coming times. The ongoing geopolitical crises have led to supply chain
disruptions and rising cost of raw materials. Your company is also prone to these near-term risks.
The pandemicâs impact on the API market. The API market encountered significant challenges
during the recent global health crisis. Disruptions in worldwide supply chains and logistical
hurdles, including transportation restrictions and delays, impeded the timely acquisition of raw
materials and the distribution of finished forms. Moreover, stringent regulatory measures and
increased scrutiny of the pharmaceutical supply chain introduced complexities, resulting in delays
in production and approval processes. These collective challenges not only impacted production
capacity but also highlighted the need for resilience and adaptability in the API market, but there
are vulnerabilities due to the regional dominance and lack of global spread.
(3) Strengths
The company with existing registrations and regulatory approvals has an established customer
base in India and in various foreign countries that will enable it to further enhance their growth.
(4) Outlook
The rise in the aging population is one of the major drivers of the pharmaceutical API
manufacturing market. As the aging population increases, the demand for pharmaceutical drugs
also increases. API acts as a specialty drug in these medicines to cure a particular disease. For
instance, in October 2022, according to an article shared by WHO, a Switzerland-based specialized
agency of the United Nations responsible for international public health, 80% of senior citizens
will reside in low and middle-income nations by 2050.
The rise in chronic conditions is expected to propel the pharmaceutical API manufacturing market
going forward. Chronic conditions, also known as chronic diseases, refer to long-term health
conditions that last for extended periods, often for a person''s entire life, and typically cannot be
cured completely. The quality, effectiveness, and safety of the medication depend largely on the
API used. Pharmaceutical API manufacturing helps to produce essential medications for managing
chronic diseases. Or instance, in 2023, according to the National Library of Medicine, a US-based
government medical library, by 2035, nearly 36% of US adults aged 50 and older are projected to
have at least one chronic condition, with this number anticipated to rise to almost 48% by 2050.
Therefore, the rise in chronic conditions is driving the pharmaceutical API manufacturing market.
The oudook is positive for the company considering its product mix, market conditions and the
expected increase in the demand of the product. The focus is to operate with the highest
Environment, Health and Safety standards, while improving efficiency, unit costs and ensuring
business continuity.

controls ensure efficiency of operations, compliance with internal policies, applicable laws and

(3) Key Trends in the Pharma Industry
Changing Government and Regulatory Landscape: Tightening of policy and faster regulatory
approvals are increasing competition, requiring companies to be right âfirst timeâ. With increased
vigilance from regulators, a focus on quality assurance and control has become even more critical.
Shifting Industry Dynamics: shift from âMake in Indiaâ to âDevelop in Indiaâ, increased
globalization, a focus on value addition versus pricing, and change from a competitive to
collaborative mind-set
Emergence of New Go-to-Market Models: managing multiple channels and consumers is becoming
increasingly critical. The rising role of pharmacists vs. physicians, and patient empowerment are
drivers.
Digital: Backbone of Transformation- To remain competitive, companies need to demonstrate
agility in responding to the changing relationship dynamics triggered by new digital players and
invest in data and analytics capabilities.
(4) Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient
The Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) is the vital, biologically active compound in
pharmaceutical products driving therapeutic effects. Whether chemically synthesized or sourced
from nature, APIs play a pivotal role globally in the pharmaceutical supply chain, serving as the
foundation for drug development and manufacturing. As the pharmaceutical industry evolves
towards cutting-edge therapeutics and innovative delivery systems, the demand for sophisticated
APIs is likely to increase.
(5) Global API Market
The global active pharmaceutical ingredients market size was estimated at USD 237.47 billion in
2023 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.75% from 2024 to
2030. Advancements in Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) manufacturing, growth of the
biopharmaceutical sector, and an increase in geriatric population are among the key drivers of API
market. An increase in prevalence of chronic diseases, such as cpdiovascular diseases and cancer,
is anticipated to boost market growth.
httDs://www.grandviewresearch.com/industrv-analvsis/actTOjpharmacednelhingredients-market
It o i Mumbai i g is
Favourable government policies for API production, along with changes in geopolitical situations,
are boosting market growth. The API market is undergoing immense changes due to supply chain
disruption by COVID-19. Countries such as India are being preferred over China for the export of
API owing to geopolitical situations and the demand to reduce dependence on China for API
products. Furthermore, governments of many countries have formulated plans and granted
incentives to promote the production of API.
(6) Indian API Market
The India active pharmaceutical ingredients market size was estimated at USD 18.29 billion in
2023 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.7% from 2024 to 2030.
https://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analvsis/india-active-t)harmaceutical-ingredients-
market-report
The key factors boosting the growth of the active pharmaceutical ingredients market are the rising
drug research, rapid technological advancements and development activities for drug
manufacturing, the increasing importance of generics, and the increasing uptake of
biopharmaceuticals. However, the unfavourable drug price control policies across various nations
and high manufacturing costs are expected to hinder the marketâs growth.
(7) Business Overview
Triochem Products Limited has been manufacturing and providing Active Pharmaceutical
Ingredients (API) since its inception in 1972. The Company has temporarily reduced activity after
the Covid-19 pandemic till a clearer picture emerges.
The Company is headquartered in Mumbai, and it has its manufacturing facility at Ambemath in
Maharashtra. The facility has all the required certifications from Indian authorities.
b) Opportunities, Threats, Outlook, Risks and Concerns
(1) Opportunities
The Indian pharmaceutical industry ranks third globally in pharmaceutical production by volume
and is known for its generic medicines and low-cost vaccines. India is one of the biggest suppliers
of low-cost vaccines in the world. The company is well placed to grow as the demand for the
product grows with the fact that this product is the fundamental product.
(2) Threats & Concerns
There is significant competition from other Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) manufacturers
both within India and foreign, however the markets and volumes are quite large. Further, the
governmentâs actions towards price controls on pharmaceutical products might affect the price of
the products in the coming times. The ongoing geopolitical crises have led to supply chain
disruptions and rising cost of raw materials. Your company is also prone to these near-term risks.
The pandemicâs impact on the API market. The API market encountered significant challenges
during the recent global health crisis. Disruptions in worldwide supply chains and logistical
hurdles, including transportation restrictions and delays, inm^ddii^Smely acquisition of raw
materials and the distribution of finished forms. Moreov^^HngeiM^matory measures and
increased scrutiny of the pharmaceutical supply chain introduced complexities, resulting in delays
in production and approval processes. These collective challenges not only impacted production
capacity but also highlighted the need for resilience and adaptability in the API market, but there
are vulnerabilities due to the regional dominance and lack of global spread.
(3) Strengths
The company with existing registrations and regulatory approvals has an established customer
base in India and in various foreign countries that will enable it to further enhance their growth.
(4) Outlook
The rise in the aging population is one of the major drivers of the pharmaceutical API
manufacturing market. As the aging population increases, the demand for pharmaceutical drugs
also increases. API acts as a specialty drug in these medicines to cure a particular disease. For
instance, in October 2022, according to an article shared by WHO, a Switzerland-based specialized
agency of the United Nations responsible for international public health, 80% of senior citizens
will reside in low and middle-income nations by 2050.
The rise in chronic conditions is expected to propel the pharmaceutical API manufacturing market
going forward. Chronic conditions, also known as chronic diseases, refer to long-term health
conditions that last for extended periods, often for a person''s entire life, and typically cannot be
cured completely. The quality, effectiveness, and safety of the medication depend largely on the
API used. Pharmaceutical API manufacturing helps to produce essential medications for managing
chronic diseases. Or instance, in 2023, according to the National Library of Medicine, a US-based
government medical library, by 2035, nearly 36% of US adults aged 50 and older are projected to
have at least one chronic condition, with this number anticipated to rise to almost 48% by 2050.
Therefore, the rise in chronic conditions is driving the pharmaceutical API manufacturing market.
The outlook is positive for the company considering its product mix, market conditions and the
expected increase in the demand of product. The focus is to operate with the highest Environment,
Health and Safety standards, while improving efficiencies, unit costs and ensuring business
continuity.
c) Internal Control Systems and Their Adequacy

controls ensure efficiency of operations, compliance with internal policies, applicable laws and
regulations, protection of resources and assets and accurate reporting of financial transactions. The
