Global biologic excipients market segmental analysis and forecast

The global market is segmented based on excipient type, end user and region.

Based on excipient type, the market is segmented into sections such as polymers, sugar alcohols, polysorbates, inorganic salts, amino acids and surfactants. Polymers biologic excipients are anticipated to lead the biologic excipients market over the forecast period. Polymer biologic excipients account for the highest revenue share and are anticipated to witness a growth rate of 3.7% over the forecast period.

By end user, the market is segmented into sections such as biopharmaceutical manufacturers, contract research organisations (CRO) / contract manufacturing organisations (CMO) and research organisations. Biopharmaceutical manufacturers is the leading segment in the global biologic excipients market over the forecast period. This segment accounts for a relatively higher revenue share, which is expected to register a CAGR of 6% over the forecast period.

Global biologic excipients market dynamics

Growth of the global biologic excipients market is primarily driven by rising global demand for medicines, greater uptake of biologics driving demand for parenteral formulations, increasing acquisition of contract research organisations, patent expiration of major blockbuster drugs, growing adoption of advanced drug delivery technologies, increasing research in pediatric formulations, growing demand for extended-release or sustained release formulations, increasing demand for oral solid drug formulations, rising demand from emerging economies pushing local drug production and increasing per capita healthcare expenditure.

However, lack of proper data documentation on gras status of excipients, regulatory audits restricting supply capacity, regulatory hurdles deterring novel excipient development, and stability testing of excipients imposing cost liabilities on drug manufacturers are some factors expected to hamper the growth of the global biologic excipients market over the forecast period.

A key trend witnessed in the biologic excipients market is increasing adoption of continuous processing of biologic excipients, the dependence of large drug manufacturers on in-house biologic excipients production, a vast proportion of imported excipients leading to production delays, and regulatory harmonisation with respect to the gradation of excipients.

In addition, the growing importance of developing biologic excipients by big players in order to enhance their product portfolio, growing importance for manufacturing authorisation, growing market for topical and parenteral applications and compulsory licensing promoting demand for biologic excipients are the key trends likely to be witnessed in the global biologic excipients market.
