“The nutraceutical excipients market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.3% in terms of value.The key drivers include increasing adoption of dietary supplements and fortified food & beverage products as a preventive healthcare measure, which, in turn, is boosting the market growth for nutraceutical excipients.”
The global nutraceutical excipients market size is estimated at USD 3.4 billion in 2020 and projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.3% to reach USD 4.9 billion by 2025. The nutraceutical excipients market is driven by the growth in demand for nutraceuticals and advances in nanotechnology used to impart new functions to excipients. Several multinational excipient manufacturers have made minimal investments in R&D for excipients in the past few years, except in the area of specialty excipients. The decline in the returns on R&D investments for developing new and innovative excipients due to several challenges is expected to restrict the growth of the excipients market in the long run.
“Prebiotics is projected as the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period.”
Based on the end product, the market for prebiotics is projected to be the fastest-growing during the forecast period. Prebiotics manufactured in the capsule form usually have a coating agent—HPMC—as an excipient. This coating agent helps in maintaining the integrity of the capsule and prevents damage due to moisture. It acts as a barrier to the external environment and protects the active ingredient from humidity. HPMC is also increasingly used in the manufacture of prebiotic capsules to help in the efficient delivery of both the active ingredients. Thus, in prebiotic preparation, excipients support product performance.
“Based on form, dry are projected to form the larger market during the forecast period.”
Based on the form of the nutraceutical excipients, the dry form segment is projected to form the larger segment. The popularity of the dry form can be attributed to its cost-effectiveness and convenience in multiple applications. An increase in demand for dry beverage mixes with additional nutrients (including customized mixes) and consumer preference for fortified beverages are fueling the growth of the dry segment in the nutraceutical excipients market.Among the regional and local players in the global nutraceutical excipients market, various manufacturers, such as Cargill (US), ABF (UK), Seppic (France), BASF SE (Germany), Shin-Etsu Chemical Co (Japan), Fuji Chemicals Industry (Japan), PharmatransSanaq AG (Switzerland), Pioma Chemicals (India), Kerry (Ireland), and other players offer portfolios of excipients in the dry form to various industries, such as functional foods, dietary supplements, and fortified beverages.
“The flavoring agent segment, by functionality is projected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period.”
Nutraceuticals, dietary supplements, and functional or fortified foods & beverages impart flavors that might at times, be unappealing to consumers. The oral administration of bitter or unpleasant-tasting medications is often a major obstacle for patients in the pediatrics and geriatrics groups. To mask these hard flavors, such as the metallic flavor of minerals and sour taste of vitamins, flavoring agents find application in nutraceutical products, which include dietary supplements and premixes. Flavoring agents are widely used in the nutraceuticals industry due to the increase in consumer preference for natural flavors and their increased acceptance of flavored tablets. Certain flavoring agents, such as sweeteners, are added to drug formulations to mask undesirable tastes and promote better patient compliance. These excipients are usually categorized as natural, artificial, nutritive, non-nutritive, polyols, and novel.
