DUBLIN, July 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Pharmaceutical Excipients Global Market Report - Forecast to 2025" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The pharmaceutical excipients global market is expected to grow at a single-digit CAGR from 2018 to 2025 to reach $9,911.2 million by 2025. The pharmaceutical excipients market is segmented by source, products, process, functionality, drug dosage forms and finished products.

Pharmaceutical excipients are inactive substances in the drug which helps in modulating solubility, bioavailability, and stability of active substances for formulating final drug dosage forms. The excipients form the major part in any medicinal product and proportion of it when compared to Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) exceeds two to three folds in any pharmaceutical preparations. Hence, various characteristics such as functionality, regulatory status, sources, cost, consistency, bioavailability, physicochemical properties, stability, and pharmacokinetic parameters, etc. play a major role in determining the suitability of a substance as an excipient.

Pharmaceutical excipients market by the source is segmented as animal-based, plant-based, mineral-based and synthetic-based excipients. Plant-based excipients held the highest revenue in 2018 and it is a fastest growing segment at a high single-digit CAGR from 2018 to 2025, due to plant-based excipients are cost-effective, low toxic with the better patient tolerance, bio-compatible and they are easily available.

By-products, excipients are segmented into inorganic chemicals, organic chemicals and pharmaceutical water. The organic chemicals segment held the highest revenue in 2018 and it is expected to grow at a single-digit CAGR from 2018 to 2025, due to the use of these excipients in majorly all of the pharmaceutical formulations as they offer advantages such as increased efficacy in oral delivery of poorly soluble molecules along with increased compressibility and flowability properties.

Inorganic chemical excipients market by type, are further divided into calcium salts, halites, metallic oxides, silicates, and other inorganic chemicals, among which metallic oxides held a major revenue in 2018 and Calcium salts segment is expected to grow at a high single-digit CAGR from 2018 to 2025. Calcium salts are further sub-segmented into calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate, among which calcium phosphate held the highest revenue in 2018 and calcium carbonate segment is expected to grow at a high single-digit CAGR from 2018 to 2025. Calcium carbonate is further classified into GCC and PCC, among which PCC held the highest revenue in 2018 and it is expected to grow at a high single-digit CAGR from 2018 to 2025.
