DMF filings surge 44% in Q1 2025; India tops list with 51% rise in year-on-year submissions

The first quarter (Q1) of 2025 witnessed an impressive surge in Drug Master File (DMF) submissions to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), signaling a robust expansion in pharmaceutical development activities, the looming threat of tariffs notwithstanding.A total of 339 Type II DMFs were submitted during this period, as opposed to 235 submissions in Q1 2024, marking an exceptional increase of 44.26 percent. PharmaCompass’ data suggests that this is a record high for any first quarter.Overall, 440 DMFs were submitted across all categories (Types II, III, IV, and V) during Q1 2025, compared to 353 in the same period last year — representing a 24.65 percent increase.India and China continued to dominate the DMF landscape. India led with 162 submissions in Q1 2025, posting a remarkable 51.4 percent increase over 107 submissions recorded in Q1 2024. China followed with 135 submissions, representing a 33.66 percent increase over the 101 filings in Q1 2024.Taiwan sprung a surprise as a distant third. It made 12 DMF submissions in Q1 2025, as opposed to just one in Q1 2024. Western countries like the US, Spain, Germany, and Italy have maintained relatively stable or declining submission rates. Only the Netherlands showed significant growth with four DMF submissions in Q1 2025, up from zero in Q1 2024. View FDA DMF Filings in Q1 2025 (Power BI Dashboard, Free Excel Available)Indian giants MSN, Aurobindo, Cipla, Dr Reddy’s lead record-breaking DMF surgeIndia lived up to its “pharmacy of the world” reputation with the highest DMF submissions. In fact, seven of the top eight companies in the DMF tally were headquartered in India. MSN Group, emerged as the unequivocal leader with 23 submissions in Q1 2025, as against 15 in Q1 2024. Aurobindo Pharma increased its DMF activity from seven submissions in Q1 2024 to 12 in Q1 2025. Alivus Life Sciences, formerly known as Glenmark, made a dramatic leap with eight submissions in Q1 2025, quadrupling its previous year’s count of just two. Cipla more than doubled its DMF submissions — from three in Q1 2024 to eight in Q1 2025.Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, one of India’s largest generic drugmakers, filed seven DMF submissions. The company’s Q1 2025 DMF portfolio includes high-value molecules like deucravacitinib, finerenone, enzalutamide, niraparib tosylate monohydrate, tucatinib, and tizanidine hydrochloride.Dr. Reddy’s has also indicated that they are open to manufacturing in the US. Meanwhile, Hetero Drugs filed seven submissions while Lee Pharma recorded six in Q1 2025.Chinese manufacturer Jiangsu East-Mab Biomedical Technology also established a significant presence with six DMFs. View FDA DMF Filings in Q1 2025 (Power BI Dashboard, Free Excel Available) Semaglutide, finerenone see most DMF submissions; first-time filings surge 64%Semaglutide and finerenone emerged as the most documented molecules in Q1 2025, each garnering nine DMF submissions. Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist that has revolutionized diabetes management and weight loss treatment, continues to attract significant manufacturer interest. Similarly, finerenone, a non-steroidal drug used in treating chronic kidney disease in type 2 diabetes patients, has garnered attention from manufacturers.Carfilzomib, used in multiple myeloma treatment, secured the third position with five DMF submissions. Deucravacitinib, a novel drug approved for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, followed with four DMF submissions.There were several molecules with three DMF submissions each. Among them were tapinarof, a novel drug for psoriasis, and tirzepatide, a GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist that has shown remarkable efficacy in diabetes and weight management. During the quarter, 23 molecules received their inaugural DMF submissions. This number has risen by 64 percent since Q1 2024, when only 14 drugs saw their first DMF filings.In Q1 2025, these 23 first-time molecules collectively garnered 30 DMF submissions, with deucravacitinib emerging as the clear leader. Indian companies Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories and Cipla filed DMFs for this plaque psoriasis treatment as did Spain’s Curia and PMC Global.The Q1 2025 roster of first-time DMF filings include retatrutide (another GLP-1 receptor agonist), sotagliflozin, setmelanotide acetate, daridorexant, nusinersen, zavegepant, belzutifan, elacestrant dihydrochloride, selumetinib sulfate, sotorasib, atogepant, omadacycline tosylate, osilodrostat phosphate, ensifentrine, landiolol hydrochloride, maralixibat chloride, maribavir, methyl olivetolate, diazoxide choline, sparsentan, thinnertide, and vismodegib. View FDA DMF Filings in Q1 2025 (Power BI Dashboard, Free Excel Available) Our viewGiven Trump’s rhetoric around tariffs on imported drugs, the record-breaking DMF submissions in Q1 2025 sent out a strong message that the global pharmaceutical industry is willing to take on the complex geopolitical situation with resilience and strategic foresight.On a different note, the rise in DMF filings also indicate increased workload for the FDA staff, as also more inspections by the agency. It seems like more ‘laid off’ FDA employees will be asked to return to work in the coming days.

DMF filings hit all-time high in Q3 2024; China tops list with 58% increase in Type II submissions

Drug Master Files, or DMFs, are confidential documents that play a crucial role in the pharmaceutical industry. These files, submitted to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), contain detailed information about ingredients, manufacturing processes, and packaging of medicines. They help the FDA oversee drug quality. Of the four types, Type II DMFs involve active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for both branded and generic drugs. The third quarter (Q3) of 2024 saw Type II DMF submissions set a new record. A total of 309 Type II DMFs were submitted to the FDA during this period, a substantial 24.6 percent increase over Q3 2023 (with 248 submissions). The second quarter of 2024 too saw a remarkable increase, with 237 Type II DMFs being submitted compared to 178 in Q2 2023. View FDA DMF Filings in Q3 2024 (Power BI Dashboard, Free Excel Available) China witnesses steep rise in DMF submissions, beats India with maximum filings In Q3 2024, China filed 153 DMFs submissions, marking a substantial 57.7 percent increase from the 97 submissions filed in Q3 2023. India maintained its strong position but fell to the number two spot with 110 DMFs, representing a modest 3.8 percent increase from 106 in Q3 2023. The US, which came a distant third, saw a slight decline in DMF submissions, with 13 filed in Q3 2024, as compared to 18 in Q3 2023. For several years, India had a lead in Type II DMFs. Since 2020, which marked the start of the pandemic, we have noticed a gradual increase in DMFs filed by China. This year, China has surpassed India considerably in the first three quarters. During the first nine months of 2024, China submitted 372, while India filed 286 DMFs. If this lead is maintained in Q4, DMFs from China will surpass that of India in 2024. Amongst European countries, Spain led with seven DMFs, followed by Italy at four, and Germany and the Netherlands at three each. Among other nations, Japan contributed six while Israel submitted four DMFs. In company-wise tally, China’s Jiangsu East-Mab Biomedical Technology topped the list with an impressive 14 DMFs. On its heels were Indian companies — MSN at 13 DMFs, and Vamsi Labs and Hetero Drugs at nine DMFs each. China’s Porton Pharma and Wuxi AppTec filed five, while Shanghai Keze Yongxin Biotechnology, and Qingdao Glycogene Pharmaceutical contributed four submissions each. India's Maithri Drugs also submitted four. Japanese company Santeja filed five. Overall, Asia accounted for nearly 90 percent, with China contributing a dominant 49.5 percent of all DMF submissions. India was at 35.6 percent, the US at 4.2 percent, while Europe contributed 6.5 percent. View FDA DMF Filings in Q3 2024 (Power BI Dashboard, Free Excel Available) Diabetes, obesity, cancer, women’s health drugs emerge as hot molecules in Q3 2024 In terms of molecules, semaglutide (used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and weight management) and relugolix (to treat prostate cancer and uterine fibroids) saw six DMF filings each in Q3 2024, indicating significant industry interest in these compounds. Following closely behind were semaglutide’s competitor tirzepatide and overactive bladder therapy vibegron, garnering four DMFs each. Finerenone (a non-steroidal drug for chronic kidney disease associated with type 2 diabetes) and voclosporin (an immunosuppressant for lupus nephritis) saw three DMFs each. The last quarter also witnessed the introduction of 14 molecules with first-time DMFs. Among them were acetoxy empagliflozin, cabozantinib fumarate, tivozanib hydrochloride monohydrate, diosmetin, trilaciclib, clenbuterol hydrochloride, fenoterol hydrobromide, tapinarof and fezolinetant. Fezolinetant, with a DMF from Spain’s Moehs Iberica, is the active ingredient in Astellas’ Veozah, which is the first non-hormonal treatment for menopausal symptoms approved by the FDA. Tapinarof, filed by India’s Maithri Drugs, is used in Vtama, a novel steroid-free psoriasis cream. Other compounds that made their DMF debut include berotralstat, calcium phosphoryl choline chloride, phloroglucinol dihydrate, belumosudil mesylate and trimethylphloroglucinol. During Q2 2024, there were 19 drugs that saw DMF submissions for the first time, including molecules like triptorelin, sorafenib, pralsetinib, trilaciclib dihydrochloride, resmetirom (hepatology) and teneligliptin hydrochloride hydrate (metabolic disorders). View FDA DMF Filings in Q3 2024 (Power BI Dashboard, Free Excel Available) GDUFA fee for FY 2025: The FDA’s Generic Drug User Fee Amendments (GDUFA) is a law designed to speed access to safe and effective generic drugs to the public and reduce costs to the industry. The fiscal year 2025 fee rates were published on July 31, 2024. The FDA has revised fees under GDUFA III for all categories. While there is a slight increase in the DMF fee from US$ 94,682 in 2024 to US$ 95,084 in 2025, the ANDA fee has witnessed a significant jump — from US$ 252,453 in 2024 to US$ 321,920 in 2025. FY 2024 and FY 2025 User Fee Rates Generic drug fee category Fees rates for FY 2024 Fees rates for FY 2025 Applications: Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) US$ 2,52,453 US$ 3,21,920 Drug Master File (DMF) US$ 94,682 US$ 95,084 Facilities: Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API)—Domestic US$ 40,464 US$ 41,580 API—Foreign US$ 55,464 US$ 56,580 Finished Dosage Form (FDF)—Domestic US$ 2,20,427 US$ 2,31,952 FDF—Foreign US$ 2,35,427 US$ 2,46,952 Contract Manufacturing Organization (CMO)—Domestic US$ 52,902 US$ 55,668 CMO—Foreign US$ 67,902 US$ 70,668 GDUFA Program: Large size operation generic drug applicant US$ 17,29,629 US$ 18,91,664 Medium size operation generic drug applicant US$ 6,91,852 US$ 7,56,666 Small business generic drug applicant US$ 1,72,963 US$ 1,89,166 Our view The highlight of the last few quarters has been the sharp rise in Type II DMF filings from China. The submission of a DMF is not required by law or any FDA regulation. FDA’s DMF guideline offers guidance on acceptable approaches to meeting regulatory requirements. Moreover, DMFs establish trust in APIs from lesser-known companies. With a growing emphasis on compliance and quality assurance, it appears that Chinese drug companies are eager to demonstrate their commitment to high standards and build trust in the US market. And that’s good news for the pharmaceutical industry.
