Vietnam Artemisinic Acid Market to Grow with a CAGR of 4.23% through 2030

Cost-effectiveness of Artemisinic acid production and advances in biotechnology is expected to drive the Vietnam Artemisinic Acid Market growth in the forecast period, 2026-2030.


According to TechSci Research report, “Vietnam Artemisinic Acid Market - By Region, Competition, Forecast and Opportunities, 2030F”, the Vietnam Artemisinic Acid Market stood at USD 2.01 Million in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 2.58 Million by 2030 with a CAGR of 4.23% during the forecast period. 

The Vietnam Artemisinic Acid Market has experienced considerable growth and transformation in recent years, driven by both domestic and global factors. As Vietnam continues to battle malaria, the demand for artemisinin-based therapies (ACTs) has escalated, leading to a growing need for artemisinic acid, a key intermediate in the production of artemisinin. The country’s strong focus on improving public health outcomes, particularly in regions with high malaria incidence, and the Vietnamese government’s commitment to self-sufficiency in pharmaceutical production are major drivers of the market’s expansion.

Artemisinic acid is a naturally occurring compound derived from the Artemisia annua plant, and it serves as the precursor to artemisinin, the active ingredient in ACTs, which are widely used to treat malaria. While the plant remains a significant source of artemisinic acid, biotechnological methods, such as microbial fermentation, have emerged as an alternative, enabling the large-scale, cost-effective production of artemisinic acid. Vietnam’s emphasis on adopting these innovative methods, alongside the growing interest in biotechnological advancements, has contributed to the increased local production of artemisinic acid, reducing reliance on imports and bolstering the local pharmaceutical industry.

Southern Vietnam has emerged as the dominant region in the artemisinic acid market, largely due to its economic infrastructure and the concentration of pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities in cities like Ho Chi Minh City. This region benefits from a highly developed industrial base, including well-established supply chains, access to skilled labor, and proximity to ports for international trade. These factors have allowed Southern Vietnam to scale up the production of artemisinic acid efficiently. Southern Vietnam plays a central role in global pharmaceutical exports, and as the demand for artemisinin-based therapies continues to grow worldwide, local manufacturers are well-positioned to meet both domestic and international needs.

Government policies have been pivotal in supporting the growth of the artemisinic acid market. The Vietnamese government has implemented public health initiatives aimed at reducing the burden of malaria, including national malaria elimination programs that focus on improving access to affordable antimalarial drugs. This aligns with the broader objective of reducing the country’s dependence on imported medicines and increasing the domestic production of essential drugs like artemisinic acid. By fostering a domestic supply chain, the government is not only addressing public health concerns but also ensuring that Vietnamese manufacturers can meet the growing demand for artemisinin-based therapies and artemisinic acid.

Vietnam's commitment to sustainability and self-sufficiency has further bolstered the market. There is a clear effort to reduce reliance on foreign imports of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), and as a result, local production of artemisinic acid is gaining traction. With the government supporting local R&D and biotechnological innovations, the Vietnamese pharmaceutical industry is working to enhance production capabilities while ensuring the sustainability of malaria treatments. As more companies invest in biotech-based methods like microbial fermentation, the market is expected to witness further growth, leading to improved production scalability and a stable supply of artemisinic acid.

While Southern Vietnam leads the market, other regions such as Central Vietnam and Northern Vietnam are also contributing to the overall development of the artemisinic acid market. Northern Vietnam has made strides in pharmaceutical manufacturing, particularly in cities like Hanoi, and has seen some involvement in artemisinic acid production. However, the region’s pharmaceutical industry is still catching up in terms of infrastructure and technological adoption compared to the south. Central Vietnam, which includes cities like Da Nang, is similarly not as heavily involved in the production of artemisinic acid, resulting in a more modest contribution to the market. However, these regions continue to play important roles in the overall distribution of artemisinin-based treatments, as well as in expanding healthcare access to underserved populations.

The Vietnam Artemisinic Acid Market is segmented into type, regional distribution, and company.

Based on type, Antimalarial injections are the second dominant segment in the Vietnam Artemisinic Acid Market, although they do not command the same market share as antimalarial tablets. Their relatively smaller share can be attributed to their specific use cases and more complex requirements compared to oral formulations. Despite this, antimalarial injections remain a critical part of malaria treatment in Vietnam, especially for severe cases of malaria, and thus contribute significantly to the demand for artemisinic acid.

One of the primary reasons antimalarial injections are still an essential part of the artemisinic acid market in Vietnam is due to the effectiveness of these injections in treating severe malaria, which can be life-threatening if not treated promptly. In cases of severe falciparum malaria, where the malaria parasite infects the bloodstream and causes symptoms like cerebral malaria, kidney failure, or severe anemia, injectable artemisinin derivatives such as artemether or arteether are used as the treatment of choice. These injectable forms are administered in hospital settings, where rapid absorption and onset of action are crucial. This makes them indispensable for patients in critical conditions, where oral medications may not be effective or quickly absorbed.

Based on region, Northern Vietnam is the dominant region in the Vietnam Artemisinic Acid Market, though it is essential to note that the region’s contribution to the market is driven by specific factors such as the location of pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities, strategic public health initiatives, and a focus on malaria control efforts. While Southern Vietnam plays a significant role due to its advanced industrial base and high concentration of pharmaceutical companies, Northern Vietnam holds a unique position in the artemisinic acid market due to its emphasis on healthcare infrastructure, government support, and supply chain connectivity for antimalarial treatments. Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, is located in Northern Vietnam, and it is the hub for governmental activities related to public health and pharmaceutical regulation. As the government’s policymaking center, Northern Vietnam plays a significant role in the development and implementation of malaria control programs. This includes large-scale public health initiatives to combat malaria, which involve both prevention and treatment strategies. The region benefits from a strong focus on access to medicines, including artemisinic acid and artemisinin-based therapies (ACTs), which are pivotal in the treatment of malaria. The government’s investment in public health and efforts to make antimalarial drugs more accessible are key drivers of the artemisinic acid market in Northern Vietnam.

Northern Vietnam also sees a significant number of malaria cases, particularly in mountainous and rural areas where access to healthcare may be limited. The country’s northern provinces are closer to China and Laos, where malaria transmission rates have been historically higher, making Northern Vietnam an area of particular focus for malaria elimination efforts. The demand for artemisinin-based therapies and, consequently, for artemisinic acid, is substantial in these regions to support local treatment programs and ensure that malaria cases are effectively managed.
