Pharmaceutical Excipients Market to Witness Robust Expansion Throughout the Forecast Period 2018 - 2026

Pharmaceutical
excipients are critical components of a pharmaceutical dosage
form, ensuring drug safety and efficacy. Therefore, compatibility
with API, adjacent excipients and dosage form are essential factors
that need to be considered while selecting an excipient. Various
types of excipients are used in a pharmaceutical formulations. This
includes binders, diluents, glidents, disintegrants, emulsifiers,
compressing agents, taste masking agents, lubricants, coating agents,
sweeteners, and vehicles (base). Use of excipients is high in oral
and topical dosage forms compared to parenteral. These excipients are
extracted from different sources such as plant, animals, and minerals
or are synthetically developed. The International Pharmaceutical
Excipients Council (IPEC), formed in 1991, focuses on harmonizing
manufacturing standards for pharmaceutical excipients globally.
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.
Increasing demand
for oral dosage forms is projected to propel the market growth for
pharmaceutical excipients in oral application during the forecast
period. Moreover, patent expiry of blockbuster drugs would fuel
demand for pharmaceutical excipients in the near future. However,
regular inspection of FDA approved manufacturing sites by local
regulatory authorities is impacting supply of pharmaceutical
excipients globally.
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.
Patent Expiries
To Provide Opportunities For Pharmaceutical Excipient Manufacturers
Symbicort
(Budesonide/Formoterol Fumarate Dihydrate), Cialis (Tadalafi),
Velcade (Bortezomib), Alimta (Pemetrexed), Vytorin (Ezetimibe and
Simvastatin), Cubicin (Daptomycin), Reyataz (Atazanavir) and
Sandostatin LAR (Octreotide Acetate) are some of the major
blockbuster brands going off-patent in 2017. This will pave way for
generic brands boosting the demand for respective pharmaceutical
excipients. According to the McKinsey’s Global Generics report,
nearly US$ 97 billion of drugs will go off-patent during 2017 –
2019.
In addition, advent
of biosimilars would further propel growth of the pharmaceutical
excipients market. Companies are investing in development of
biosimilars to capitalize on this billion dollar market opportunity.
However, strict regulatory hold over approval of biosimilars is
slowing the approval of biosimilars being developed, in turn
hampering growth of the pharmaceutical excipients market.
Growing Demand
For Low Cost Medicines
Affordable
healthcare is the primary objective of health regulators globally,
something that is propagated by various such initiatives in place
such as Obama Care Act and the actions of Drug Price Control Order
(DPCO) in India. The DPCO has capped the prices of over 467 drugs to
cater to unmet need of population with low income levels. According
to the IMS Health 2015 data, average price of branded products has
increased from US$ 71.91 in 2010 to US$ 91.92 in 2015. On the other
hand, average price of generic products has declined from US$ 26.23
in 2010 to US$ 20.92 in 2015. Pricing pressure and high competition
are major attributable factors to this decline. This has further
contributed to wards the growth of pharmaceutical excipients market.
Increase in
preferences for low cost medicine will drive the demand for
pharmaceutical excipients, especially the on form natural sources to
reduce production cost of the product.
