The South America pharmaceutical excipients market is expected to grow from US$ 348.40 million in 2022 to US$ 526.54 million by 2028. It is estimated to register a CAGR of 7.1% from 2022 to 2028.
Rising Demand and Emphasis on Co-Processed Excipients is fueling the growth of South America pharmaceutical excipients market
Formulation scientists have recognized that single-component excipients do not always provide the requisite performance to allow certain APIs to be manufactured adequately. These scientists focus on producing co-processed and multifunctional excipients with enhanced performance. Co-processed excipients are a mixture of two or more existing excipients at the sub-particle level, offering substantial benefits of the incorporated excipients and minimizing their drawbacks. These multipurpose excipients have dramatically reduced the number of incorporating excipients in the tablet. The co-processed excipients are used to improve the drug's flow, disintegration, lubrication, and compressibility. The excipients also simplify the formulation process and make it cost-effective. They are increasingly used to convert complicated and labor-intensive formulation processes, such as wet granulation, to quick direct-compression processes, without affecting the final product quality or performance. Co-processed excipients play a crucial role in creating a stable, result-oriented drug delivery system with enhanced chemical, physical, and mechanical properties. The companies are focusing on developing co-processed excipients for drug formulations. For instance, in July 2021, DFE Pharma launched a co-processed excipient, Pharmacel sMCC 90, silicified microcrystalline cellulose (MCC). It has been developed as the synergistic solution for challenging oral solid dosage formulations. A co-processed excipient is a promising tool in the production of pharmaceutical products. Existing co-processed adjuvants cannot fulfill all the needs for the preparation of various novel formulations. There is also enough space for the production of new co-processed excipients to satisfy the demand of the pharmaceutical industries, which is expected to act as an opportunity for the growth of the South America pharmaceutical excipients market during the forecast period.
South America Pharmaceutical Excipients Market Overview
South America includes Argentina and Brazil. The pharmaceutical excipients market in the region is expected to have growth opportunities in both countries. Growing geriatric population in both countries and increasing prevalence of chronic diseases are driving the market. Moreover, developments in the healthcare industry and a rise in research and development in the pharmaceutical sector are likely to foster the market’s growth during the forecast period. Hence, the need for functional excipients is growing across the country, driving the pharmaceutical excipients market in the country. Brazil is the fifth-largest country globally by area and population. The country is experiencing the fastest demographic aging and a rise in the prevalence of noncommunicable Diseases (NCD), which is expected to serve wider growth opportunities for the market. For instance, in 2020, the elderly population accounted for 30.1 million, about 14.3% of the population. In addition, as per the Brazil Statistical Institute, people aged 65 and above are expected to reach 36% by 2050. As the geriatric population in Brazil grows, it leads to an increased incidence of various health illnesses such as lifestyle heart disorders and other cardiovascular diseases, which may lead to increased morbidities and demand for services in the healthcare system. Most companies are increasing their presence in the Brazilian market to capture the significant potential available in the pharmaceutical excipients market.
