Catalysts used in API production in Western Europe Market

In the pharmaceutical industry, catalysts are used to synthesize active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). The specific catalysts used depend on the reaction being performed, but common catalysts include palladium, platinum, and ruthenium. Platinum group metal catalysts have extensive applications in various industries, including pharmaceutical synthesizing. Their key strength lies in enabling highly selective and efficient reactions. For instance, platinum and palladium catalysts are vital in production of API’s like risperidone, salbutamol sulphate and terbutaline sulphate. Other than platinum group metal different catalysts used in production of API include RA-nickel, Sodium hydroxide and others.

The global demand for catalysts is experiencing rapid growth due to ongoing development in chemical and pharmaceutical industry worldwide. The continued industrialization and economic growth in emerging economies, notably in Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Africa, drive the demand for catalysts worldwide.

Catalysts are essential in both API manufacturing and various industrial sectors, enabling more efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable chemical processes while reducing environmental impact and waste production. The choice of catalyst depends on the specific reaction and desired outcomes in each application.
