Pharmaceutical Excipients Market Drivers

Surging Demand for Generic Medicine 

• Costs of drugs and pharmaceuticals are reaching all-time highs around the world and this has led to the high popularity of generic medicine. Growing emphasis on increasing healthcare accessibility and reducing healthcare costs is projected to bolster the demand for generic medicine thereby also favoring pharmaceutical excipients market development.   

Advancement in Drug Delivery  

• Growing investments in the development of novel drug delivery systems is also bolstering the demand for novel pharmaceutical excipients. Pharmaceutical excipients that can improve bioavailability of drugs and improve patient health are projected to witness a robust hike in demand as novel drug delivery technologies are adopted.  

Pharmaceutical Excipients Market Restraints 

High Costs of Manufacturing and Development 

• Pharmaceutical excipients require a substantial amount of research in their development and this leads to high costs for the whole product lifecycle. Rising use of advanced equipment for the manufacturing of different types of pharmaceutical excipients will also add up to the overall costs of manufacturing and thereby impede sales to a certain extent in the future.  

Fluctuations in Raw Material Supply and Prices 

• Pharmaceutical excipients are manufactured using multiple raw materials sourced from different parts of the world. Disruptions to supply chain or changes in economic conditions affect the availability and pricing of these raw materials, which in turn, is expected to hamper pharmaceutical excipients market growth potential going forward.
