Biologic excipients are substances other than the pharmacologically active drug component, which are included in the biologic drug manufacturing process or are contained in a finished pharmaceutical product dosage form. They facilitate formulation design and perform a range of functions such as increasing lubricity, enhancing flow ability, and improving compressibility, among others. Increasing demand for biologic excipients coupled with growing demand for extended-release or sustained-release formulations are driving the growth of the biologic excipients market globally.
Biologic excipients product types include polymers, sugar alcohols, polysorbates, inorganic salts, amino acids, surfactants and others. Excipients are small molecules but critical part of every biologic drug. The key accomplishment in unlocking the potential for manufacturing pharmaceutical grade excipients to be used in developing biologics has been attained by initiating mass manufacturing of biologic excipients for pharmaceutical applications. An excipient being a pharmacologically inert substance is used as a delivery vehicle for APIs, or as flavor that is essential for obtaining improved palatability of medicines. Leading companies in the biologic excipients industry are actively manufacturing various excipients for formulation development of biologics and other small and large molecule pharmaceuticals. Polymer excipients are mostly preferred over other biologic excipients available in the industry.
Market Value and Forecast
In terms of revenue, the global biologic excipients market is projected to expand at a CAGR of 3.6% during the forecast period and is expected to be valued at US$ 1,706.2 million by the end of 2028.
Market Dynamics
Growth of global biologic excipients market is primarily driven by rising demand for medicines from emerging economies pushing local drug production, greater uptake of biologics driving demand for parenteral formulation, increasing acquisition of contract research organizations (cros), increasing demand for oral solid liquid formulation, patent-expiration of major blockbuster drugs and growing adoption of advanced drug delivery technologies. The ability of biologic excipients to offer increased efficacy of biologics through enhancement of solubility and bioavailability, enabling controlled/sustained release delivery performance coupled with introduction of innovative technologies focused to target pediatric and geriatric patient populations has made biologic excipients a key preference for biologic drug manufacturers.
Also, oral dosage forms generally require more amount of excipients than other forms during the drug manufacturing process and is being promoted due to adoption of increased patient-centricity approaches by drug manufacturers. However, lack of proper data documentation on GRAS status of excipients, regulatory audits restricting supply capacity, regulatory hurdles deterring novel excipient development, and stability testing of excipients imposing cost liabilities on drug manufacturers limit the growth of biologic excipients market over the forecast period.
