Worldwide Biopharmaceutical Excipient Manufacturing Industry to 2035 - Featuring ABITEC, Avantor and BASF Pharma Among Others

DUBLIN, March 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Biopharmaceutical Excipient Manufacturing Market by Type of Biologics, Type of Excipient, Scale of Operation and Key Geographies: Industry Trends and Global Forecasts, 2022-2035" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

This report features an extensive study of companies engaged in manufacturing of biopharmaceutical excipients. The report features an in-depth analysis, highlighting the capabilities of various stakeholders engaged in this domain. 

Over the years, the rising popularity of biologics has led to a paradigm shift in the healthcare industry. In the last decade alone, the annual number of approvals of biopharmaceuticals (including monoclonal antibodies, recombinant proteins, vaccines and gene therapies), by the US FDA, have steadily risen. In fact, over 8,000 biological pharmaceutical products are currently under clinical investigation worldwide.

Given the evident benefits of biologics over small molecule drugs (including high efficacy, target specificity and favorable safety profiles), the biopharmaceutical market is poised to witness continued and consistent growth over the next several years. However, biological therapeutics are inherently less stable than small molecules and, hence, more prone to degradation by several physical and chemical degradation mechanisms.

Therefore, a variety of excipients, which are pharmacologically inert substances themselves, are used to stabilize biologics during the manufacturing process and storage. Furthermore, excipients play a critical role in biologics development by enhancing the solubility and bioavailability, controlling pH and tonicity of the active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Additionally, biopharmaceutical excipients act as bulking agents, antioxidants or preservatives. As a result, the demand for biopharmaceutical excipients has grown considerably. However, for some of the biopharmaceutical excipients, such as lipids, the associated manufacturing processes are highly complex, capital-intensive and fraught with multiple challenges. Some of the major issues related to the production of GMP grade biopharmaceutical excipients include the need for specialized expertise, lack of facilities with the necessary infrastructure and capacity to produce the required quality of substances, as well as concerns related to storage, safety and efficacy.

Considering the technical and routine operations-related challenges, an increasing number of biologics developers are increasingly relying on biopharmaceutical excipient manufacturers. The benefits of engaging such third-party service providers are numerous; for instance, contracting a supplier for medical grade biopharmaceutical excipients enables sponsors to leverage specialty biopharmaceutical excipients (available with the manufacturers), access larger capacities and achieve greater operational flexibility.

Presently, there are several contract manufacturers that claim to have the required capabilities to manufacture a variety of biopharmaceutical excipients, including lipids, lactose, trehalose, mannitol, succinate, Tween 20 and benzyl alcohol. These companies are increasingly focusing on the development of co-processed multifunctional biopharmaceutical excipients to improve the stability and effectiveness of novel biotherapeutics.

It is worth highlighting that biopharmaceutical excipient manufacturers are actively trying to consolidate their presence in this field by entering into strategic alliances, enhance their respective manufacturing capabilities in order to meet the growing demand for excipients used in biologics.

In fact, recently, a number of deals were inked between vaccine developers and biopharmaceutical excipient manufacturers in order to cater to the urgent need for lipids for the formers' respective COVID-19 vaccines. With outsourcing being increasingly accepted as a viable and beneficial business model within this field, we anticipate the biopharmaceutical excipient manufacturing market to grow at a steady pace in the coming years.
