Pharmaceutical Excipients Market - Trends, Analysis and Forecast till 2024

Posted by Rajkumar on March 5th, 2019

Pharmaceutical excipients are crucial contents of a formulation that enable effective drug absorption. Excipients must suit the intended dosage form and comply with regulatory requirements i.e. pharmacopeial standards to ensure finished product quality. Moreover, their compatibility is crucial in dosage forms that involves taste masking, coating, controlled and sustained release, and oil base (emulsifiers). The International Pharmaceutical Excipient Councils (IPE) governs the global pharmaceutical excipient manufacturing by providing harmonized excipient guidelines to manufacturers.

Excipients used in drug manufacturing serve as binders, diluents, glidents, or disintegrants. Thus, multifunctional excipients can lower the drug development and manufacturing cost of the product. Generics market has witnessed robust growth in recent times, owing to patent expiries, in turn acting as a major factor driving demand for pharmaceutical excipients. Moreover, meeting growing demand for pharmaceutical products and large patient population base would propel growth of pharmaceutical excipients market. However, stringent regulations, especially inspection of manufacturing sites by the regulatory authorities such as the FDA, MHRA and TGA has impacted the supply of pharmaceutical excipients globally.

China and India are the major suppliers of pharmaceutical excipients outside the U.S. and European markets. China is the largest supplier of low cost API and excipients. Demand for high-quality and functional excipients is high in developed markets, while emerging economies tend to prefer low cost alternatives.

The global pharmaceutical excipients market was valued at US$ 5,394.2 million in 2015 and is expected to witness a robust CAGR of 6.9% during the forecast period (2016 – 2024).

Market Dynamics

Demand for high-quality excipients is more in developed economies, while affordability is the key criteria considered for price sensitive emerging economies. China has emerged as the largest supplier of low-cost pharmaceutical API and excipients. India is the other fast emerging market to which production of excipients is outsourced owing to lower labor and production costs. North America and Europe lead the market for excipients as the number of excipient manufacturers are high in these regions. Moreover, high cost of manufactured excipients generates higher revenue for these regions compared to cost of material produced by manufacturers in Asia Pacific. However, growing pharmaceutical drug price pressure across the globe is expected to drive growth of the markets in China and India characterized by high supply of low cost excipients.

Market Taxonomy

This report segments the global pharmaceutical excipients market on the basis of chemistry, functionality, application, and geography. On the basis of chemistry, the market is categorized into plants, animals, minerals and synthetic sources. On the basis of functionality, the market is segmented into binders, diluents, glidents, disintegrants, and others. The application segment is divided into oral, parenteral, topical and others. For comprehensive understanding of market dynamics, the global pharmaceutical excipients market is analyzed across key geographical regions namely North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Africa, and Middle East. Each of these regions is analyzed on basis of market findings across major countries in these regions for a macro-level understanding of the market.

Oral and topical segment is driving the pharmaceutical excipients market growth

Excipients are largely used in the production of oral dosage forms such as tablets, capsules, and liquids when compared to parenteral dosage forms. The growth of excipients usage in oral dosage forms is expected to be 7.2% over the forecast period. Local players entering the pharmaceutical industry mark their entry with oral dosage forms, as manufacturing of these are easier when compared to other dosage forms. Economies such as India, Brazil, China, and U.S. are few major pharmaceutical excipients markets, as they have large presence of regional pharmaceutical players. Therefore, demand for excipients is expected to be high in such economies. Moreover, growing topical solutions (cream, gel, eye drops, skin patch) in dermatology and pain management categories is also expected to increase the demand for excipients, thereby driving growth of the market.

Key companies covered as a part of this study include BASF SE, The DOW Chemical Company, Evonik Industries, FMC Corporation, Croda International PLC, Ashland Inc., Roquette Group, Lubrizol Corporation, Innophos Holdings Inc. and MEGGLE Group Wasserburg BG Excipients & Technology
