The Latin America, Middle East and Africa Plant-based API Market would witness market growth of 9.9% CAGR during the forecast period (2023-2030).
The demand for plant-based APIs is increasing because of the preference for herbal medicines. In herbal therapy, herbal remedies are utilized in place of conventional pharmaceuticals. They alleviate symptoms, treat or prevent illnesses, boost energy, unwind, or reduce weight. Unlike medications, herbs are not subject to strict testing and regulation. In the coming years, the demand for herbal medicines would expand, and vendors would have opportunities to address equivalent requests.
Extraction, exploration, as well as screening of biological diversity, such as herbs, spices, microbes, and other natural resources, have evolved into essential practices around the region.

Phytochemicals are principally responsible for biological activities. Today, it is discovered that over 100 active compounds used in medications and treatments come from plants.
According to the Export.Gov, 59.4% of the pharmaceutical products purchased in the Gulf region are from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Both the public and private sectors were strongly encouraged to grow the life sciences sector in general and the pharmaceuticals sector in particular by Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and the NTP’s targets for job creation as well as economic diversification. The Kingdom’s expanding population, the rise in healthcare spending per capita, and the tendency to favor research-based medicines over more expensive patented items are the main factors influencing the pharmaceutical business. In recent years, the government’s initiatives to reduce pharmaceutical spending and support local manufacturing led to a quick expansion of the generics sector. Due to these factors, the regional market will develop expeditiously in the coming years.
