In the pharmaceutical industry, the term API stands for Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient. This is the component of a drug that is biologically active and responsible for its therapeutic effects. The significance of APIs extends beyond mere chemical compounds; they are essential for the efficacy and safety of medicinal products. Understanding APIs is crucial for anyone involved in drug development, manufacturing, and regulation.
The last round of price increases has made many enterprises suffering, among them, the chemical market supply and demand is seriously out of balance.Recently, the news that nearly 100 leading enterprises in the chemical industry have collectively stopped production has caused a strong impact on the chemical market, which may be followed by a new round of price rises.
The announcement of close to 100 chemical companies involved in PE, bisphenol A, PC, PP and other chemicals.It is understood that the production of enterprises, part of the enterprise is part of the device maintenance, there are also part of the full stop maintenance, maintenance time is roughly 10-50 days.At the same time, some enterprises directly said that “surplus inventory is not much, or will be broken”!

1. Scale Formation As water evaporates, dissolved minerals such as calcium and magnesium can precipitate, leading to scale deposits on heat exchange surfaces. This buildup reduces efficiency, increases maintenance costs, and can ultimately lead to equipment failure.
Furthermore, geopolitical tensions and trade disputes can pose risks to the stability of the supply chain. The reliance on a single country for essential pharmaceutical components can create vulnerabilities, especially in times of crisis. Diversification of supply sources and strategic partnerships are increasingly being explored by companies to mitigate these risks.
