Global Pharmaceutical Excipients Market Size Expands at Significant CAGR of 5.82% to Reach USD 13.21 Billion by 2030
Global Pharmaceutical Excipients Market is flourishing because of the rising demand for pharmaceuticals and increasing shift towards generic drugs.
Report Ocean, a leading strategic consulting and market research firm, in its recent study, estimated the Global Pharmaceutical Excipients Market size at USD 8.89 billion in 2023. During the forecast period between 2024 and 2030, Report Ocean expects the Global Pharmaceutical Excipients Market size to expand at a CAGR of 5.82% reaching a value of USD 13.21 billion by 2030. Growing demand for pharmaceutical products and generic medications and increasing investments in R&D programs to create innovative excipients, are key driving factors for the global pharmaceutical excipients market. An increasing emphasis on patient-centric formulations is also projected to drive the Global Pharmaceutical Excipients Market.
Opportunity: Launch of innovative pharmaceutical excipients
The rising investments in the R&D sector for the development of novel excipients and the launch of new products are anticipated to present lucrative growth opportunities to the global pharmaceutical excipients market during the forecast period. For instance, Roquette, a pharmaceutical and nutraceutical excipients manufacturer, launched three new excipient grades for moisture-sensitive active pharmaceutical ingredients. In another instance, Clariant, a multinational specialty chemical company based in Switzerland, introduced high performing pharmaceutical ingredients that allow for a wide range of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) formulations and administration routes.
Impact of Escalating Geopolitical Tensions on Global Pharmaceutical Excipients Market
The escalating geopolitical tensions negatively impacted the growth of the global pharmaceutical excipients market. For instance, Ukraine is a flourishing pharmaceutical excipient manufacturer and has been significantly investing in the field of medical research as well. However, Russia's invasion of Ukraine completely disrupted the growth of the Ukrainian pharmaceutical industry. The shortage of resources, supply chain disruption on Western borders, and seaport blockade due to the war led to low production capacities in the pharmaceutical industry, significantly altering the demand for pharmaceutical excipients as well. In addition, collaborative research projects and global alliances that are essential for medication development may come under pressure after the crisis in Ukraine, which might impede advancements in the sector.
