The losartan potassium active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.75 billion in 2024 to $1.87 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to factors such as the growing adoption of antihypertensive drugs, the rising incidence of lifestyle-related disorders, increased awareness of cardiovascular health, higher global healthcare expenditure, and the growing demand for affordable generic medications.
The losartan potassium active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.44 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as an expanding patient population with chronic illnesses, a growing emphasis on preventive cardiovascular care, increased healthcare service penetration in emerging markets, advancements in drug formulation technologies, and rising government initiatives to promote generic drugs. Key trends during this period include advancements in manufacturing processes, the development of advanced drug delivery systems, the creation of pediatric-friendly formulations, innovations in packaging for extended shelf life, and the development of combination therapies involving losartan.
The rising prevalence of hypertension is expected to drive the growth of the losartan potassium active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) market. Hypertension is a condition characterized by persistently high blood pressure, which increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other serious health complications. The growing incidence of hypertension is largely attributed to diets high in salt and processed foods, which contribute to fluid retention and increased strain on the heart. Losartan potassium helps control hypertension by blocking angiotensin II, a hormone that constricts blood vessels. By relaxing and widening blood vessels, losartan potassium lowers blood pressure and reduces the workload on the heart. For instance, in January 2024, the American Heart Association reported that 131,454 deaths were primarily linked to high blood pressure in 2022, a rise from 124,508 deaths in 2021. As a result, the increasing prevalence of hypertension is fueling the growth of the losartan potassium API market.
Companies in the losartan potassium API market are focusing on developing innovative products to enhance patient compliance and precision in dosing, such as losartan potassium oral suspension. This liquid form of losartan potassium is designed for patients who have difficulty swallowing tablets. For example, in March 2025, Scienture Holdings Inc., a US-based biopharmaceutical company, received FDA approval for Arbli, a ready-to-use liquid formulation for hypertension treatment, stroke risk reduction in hypertensive patients with left ventricular hypertrophy, and diabetic nephropathy in type 2 diabetes patients. Arbli offers precise dosing without the need for compounding and comes in a 165 mL peppermint-flavored suspension (10 mg/mL) with an 18-month shelf life at room temperature.
In April 2025, Scienture Holdings Inc., a US-based pharmaceutical company, formed a partnership with Saptalis Pharmaceuticals LLC to manufacture Arbli (losartan potassium) Oral Suspension, 10 mg/mL. The collaboration includes warehousing and distribution agreements to ensure market readiness for the first FDA-approved ready-to-use oral liquid losartan, addressing unmet needs in hypertension treatment.
