Global Pharmaceutical Excipients Market By Overview
Pharmaceutical Excipients Market accounted for USD 6.52 Billion 2020 and is estimated to be USD 10.49 Billion by 2030 and is anticipated to register a CAGR of 5.3%.
Pharmaceutical excipients are substances other than an active pharmaceutical ingredient contained in a drug delivery system. Pharmaceutical excipients are inactive substances contributing to lubricity, fluidity, disintegration, taste and can impart some form of antimicrobial function. Pharmaceutical excipients are used to simplify the manufacture of pharmaceutical products and help to promote the physiological absorption of the drug. These are also used to protect, support, or enhance stability of the formulation. Pharmaceutical excipients are substances other than the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) that have been appropriately evaluated for safety and are intentionally included in a drug delivery system. Simply said the excipients enable the drug substance to be applied to the patient in the right form and supports the way and place of action without being active themselves.
Global Pharmaceutical Excipients Market By Drivers & Restraints
Excipients provide better functionality
Excipients provide better functionality such as longer shelf life of formulations, which is a major factor driving the pharmaceutical excipients market. For instance, According to data published by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2018, that vaccines contains excipients with their role such as preservatives to prevent contamination for example, thimerosal, adjuvants help to stimulate a stronger immune response for example, aluminum salts, stabilizers keep the vaccine potent during transportation and storage for example, sugars or gelatin. In addition, rising demand for generic medicine across the globe is factor driving the growth of the pharmaceutical excipients market. For instance, according to data published by International Trade Administration, in 2016, in the United States, upon either patent expiration or a successful challenge of relevant patents, a manufacturer can produce a generic drug as long as it meets FDA approval and bioequivalence standards.
List of patent expired blockbuster drugs
In addition, list of patent expired blockbuster drugs in 2018 are expected to promote the pharmaceutical excipients market over the forecast period. For instance, Lyrica (pregabalin) for fibromyalgia and neuropathic pain manufactured by Pfizer Inc patent expired in December 2018. Multifunctional excipients are proving to be emerging areas of new product development which is expected to create lucrative growth opportunity for the major players operating in the pharmaceutical excipients market.
However, cost-efficiency and time consuming process of drug development are hindering the target market.
