Global Study on Pharmaceutical Excipients Market, 2015-2021
Pharmaceutical excipients are substances other than pharmacologically active drug components, which are included in the drug manufacturing process or contained in a finished pharmaceutical product dosage form. They facilitate formulation design and perform a range of functions such as increasing lubricity, enhancing flowability and improving compressibility, among other characteristics. The global market for pharmaceutical excipients has been segmented based on the source of origin or chemistry type as per U.S. pharmacopeia, i.e. plant-based, animal-based, mineral-based and synthetically derived excipients. The market has also been segmented by application type and functionality of various excipients, and by regions.
