Market Overview

Pharmaceutical solvent is a liquid that is used for dissolution and dilution in pharmaceutical production such as solubilizing APIs for a wide range of delivery routes such as parenteral, oral, topical, ophthalmic, and optic delivery. These solvents are important in pharmaceutical processes performing a variety of functions, including the synthesis, extraction, purification, and formulation of medications and pharmaceutical products as they allow active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) and other excipients to dissolve, making it easier to create prescription formulations and preserve product stability. Further, they are also employed in purification and extraction processes. Based on their chemical property and intended use, pharmaceutical solvents can be divided into several types, including water, organic solvents, co-solvents, and solvent combinations. The increasing initiatives for promoting sustainability for pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals and the introduction of green solvents are providing lucrative market growth opportunities for pharmaceutical solvents. Further, the designing of a continuous solvent recovery system for end-to-end integrated continuous manufacturing in the pharmaceutical industry in order to achieve the goal of sustainable manufacturing promotes the pharmaceutical solvent market growth.
