Friability is the property of the solid matter to break into small pieces under conditions such as vibration, pressure, abrasion, and contact. Compressed mix of therapeutic compound powders in uncoated tablets can be easily breakdown into minute particles during handling and transit. This breaking down of uncoated tablets into tiny pieces is friability. It can be caused due to numerous factors such as an insufficient binder, poor tablet design, low moisture content, and others.

Friability testers are laboratory equipments used to test the strength and durability of tablets by rotating them in cylindrical drums with a baffle in the inner surface for a specified fixed time frame. It also measures the weight of tablet samples before and after the process to check the difference in order to check the friability and physical strength of tablets.

These equipments test the amount to which compressed powder uncoated tables breaks down into fine particles affected by friction, pressure, or vibration. Hence, increasing adoption of such laboratory testing equipments in rapidly expanding pharmaceutical sector and growing application across drug testing laboratories is bolstering the growth in the market.

Moreover, growing research and development (R&D) activities in the pharmaceutical industry to improve drugs quality, along with increasing advancement in tools & instruments used to test the quality parameters of products are positively influencing the growth in the friability tester market.

Which are Some Prominent Drivers Spearheading Friability Tester Market Growth?

The friability tester market is highly dependent on the demand from the pharmaceutical industry, being the primary drug testing equipment used before the packaging to ensure uncoated tablets do not shed into minute particles during handling and transit. Hence, growing emphasis of pharmaceutical companies on improving the quality of tablets and drug testing processes to deliver desired hardness of uncoated pills and tablets is estimated to augment the demand for friability testers in the market.

A significant rise in prevalence of conditions such as chronic ailments, muscular-related disorders, and infectious diseases is being witnessed across the globe, creating strong demand for therapeutic tablets and pills. For instance, according to a journal published by the America Cancer Society, around 19.3 million new cases of cancer were estimated to be reported, causing almost 10 million death worldwide in the year 2020.

Such rise in burden of diseases is accelerate the demand for novel and more effective drugs for the treatment of such ailments. As friability testers are extensively used in the quality testing processes during the manufacturing of pills and tablets, surging demand for therapeutics drugs is projected to create lucrative growth opportunities in the global market.

What are the Challenges Faced by the Friability Tester Market?

The safety measures, precautions, regulations, and drug development standards vary from country to country, due to which products designed and manufactured in one country may not comply with norms in other countries.

For instance, the drug quality and safety measures mentioned in North America Safety Requirement are different from the norms stated by the Medical and Healthcare products Regulatory agency in the U.K. This is creating difficulties for the market players to expand their footprint in foreign markets, thereby, restraining the growth in the friability tester market.

Why is Asia Pacific Excluding Japan Emerging as an Opportunistic Friability Tester Market?

Future Market Insights reveals that Asia Pacific Excluding Japan is expected to account for a significant share in the global friability tester meter market from 2022 to 2032.

With growing prevalence of various diseases and rapid expansion of the pharmaceutical industry in Asia Pacific, a swift rise in demand for therapeutics drugs such as tablets and pills is witnessed across the countries such as China, India, Australia, and South Korea among others.

Hence, key industry players are increasingly aiming at expanding their production capacity to cater to this growing demand. For instance, in 2021, Glenmark Life Science, an Indian manufacturer of therapeutics products and drugs announced its plan to invest nearly US$ 78.7 million for expanding its production capacity to more than double over the next four years. Such developments are anticipated to propel the demand for friability testers in the Asia Pacific Excluding Japan market.

How is Europe Contributing to the Growth of the Friability Tester Market?

As per FMI, Europe is projected to emerge as a highly remunerative market for friability testers during the forecast period 2022-2032.

As the quality testing equipments such as friability testers are increasingly gaining popularity across the pharmaceutical sector, leading players in the market are emphasizing on launching novel products with innovative technologies and features.

For instance, ERWEKA GmbH, a German manufacturer of pharmaceutical testing equipments recently announced introducing its new TAR-series friability testers with innovative features such as USP/JP/EP compliance, LED display, USB interface for connecting to printer and computer, and symbol style keypad. A multiplicity of such developments are estimated to accelerate the sales of friability testers in the Europe market.
