Report : Europe Pharmaceutical Excipients Market Forecast to 2028 - COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis By Product (Organic Chemicals, Inorganic Chemicals, and Other Products); Functionality (Fillers and Diluents, Suspending and Viscosity Agents, Coating Agents, Binders, Preservatives, Emulsifying Agents, and Other Functionalities); Type of Formulation (Oral Formulations, Topical Formulations, Parenteral Formulations, and Other Formulations)

At 6.5% CAGR, the Europe Pharmaceutical Excipients Market is speculated to be worth US$ 4,198.83 million by 2028, says Business Market Insights

According to Business Market Insights’ research, the Europe pharmaceutical excipients market was valued at US$ 2,878.05 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 4,198.83 million by 2028, registering an annual growth rate of 6.5% from 2022 to 2028.  Increasing product launches and growing generics are the critical factors attributed to the Europe pharmaceutical excipients market expansion.                   

The pharmaceutical excipients market is characterized by the presence of large and small market players. A few product launches have taken place in recent years. For instance, in October 2022, Rouqette, a pharmaceutical and nutraceutical excipients provider, launched two next-generation mannitol products—PEARLITOL CR-H and PEARLITOL 200 GT— for direct compression. These excipients have been specially formulated to overcome the unique drug formulation challenges in the pharmaceutical spaces, which helps the manufacturers optimize direct compression processes and expand into application areas such as mini tabs and controlled-release tablets. Similarly, in March 2022, Lubrizol Life Science Health launched Apisolex, a novel solubility-enhancing excipient for parenteral drug products. With the ability to improve solubility by up to 50,000-fold and support high drug loading, Apisolex excipient provides access to new and improved parenteral drug products. This is especially relevant in oncology, as direct injection of drugs into the bloodstream ensures higher bioavailability and lower patient variability compared to oral delivery.  The active participation of market players in product innovation and development leading to the increase in product launches fuel the growth of the Europe pharmaceutical excipients market.
