Global Propofol API Market Size, Competition Landscape and Supply Chain Research Report 2025

Research Summary

Propofol API refers to the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) used in the formulation of propofol, a widely used intravenous anesthetic agent. The API is the key component responsible for the pharmacological effects of the drug. In the case of propofol, the API is 2,6-diisopropylphenol, also known as propofol or its chemical name, 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol. Propofol API is typically manufactured through chemical synthesis processes and must meet strict quality standards set by regulatory authorities to ensure its safety, efficacy, and purity. Once produced, propofol API is then formulated into injectable solutions for clinical use. These formulations often include additional ingredients such as emulsifiers, stabilizers, and preservatives to create a suitable dosage form for intravenous administration. Propofol API is essential in anesthesia, sedation, and critical care medicine, playing a crucial role in surgeries, medical procedures, and intensive care settings.
