Sustained Release Excipients Market Trends



  • Rising incidence of both acute and chronic illnesses is driving the market growth


The market CAGR for sustained release excipients is expected to grow in the future due to the increasing incidence of both acute and chronic diseases. Diseases are classified into two main categories based on their duration and progression - acute and chronic diseases or such prolonged periods. Acute diseases are usually characterized by rapid onset of severe but transient symptoms. The duration of these illnesses is usually short—hours, days, or weeks—and they arise suddenly. Adjuvants with long-lasting diuretics are often used to treat acute and chronic problems. These features increase sales of adjuvants that maintain consistency, even maintain dosage levels, reduce side effects, and promote patient adherence and disease management well. NCD) Most deaths—approximately 17.9 million annually—are due to cardiovascular diseases, followed by chronic respiratory diseases (4.1 million), diabetes (2 million, including diabetic kidney disease), and cancer (9.3 million) by October 2022. U.S.-based A statement by the Pan American Health Organization, an international public health organization, documented that 10.6 million individuals will be infected with tuberculosis (TB) by 2021, up 4.5% from 2020. Thus, there is a market for extracted support that has a long history of severe and chronic increases due to mounting problems.


Going forward, the market for sustained release excipients is anticipated to rise at a rapid pace due to the increasing need for personalized medication. Medical practitioners use precision medicine to deliver and plan individualized care by analyzing each patient's distinct genes, proteins, and other body parts. This approach is known as personalized medicine or personalized care. Sustained-release excipients are essential to personalized medicine because they make it possible to create medication formulations that are specific to each patient's needs. For instance, about one-third of all newly authorized therapeutic molecular entities were approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2022, with 12 of those medications being personalized. Based on a paper from the US-based professional membership organization Personalized Medicine Coalition titled The Scope and Significance of Progress in 2022, this information has been compiled. Thus, the market for sustained release excipients is expanding due to the rising need for individualized treatment. Thus, driving the sustained release excipients market revenue.


Sustained Release Excipients Market Segment Insights


Sustained Release Excipients Product Type Insights


The Sustained Release Excipients Market segmentation, based on product type, includes Gelatin, Polymers, Minerals, Sugars, and Others. In 2023, the polymer segment dominated the market due to their versatility and fit for a range of pharmaceutical formulations. Polymers facilitate controlled drug release by forming a matrix that regulates the release of active ingredients. Because of their versatility, they are a preferred choice for sustained-release medicine delivery systems. Furthermore, polymers are still used in pharmaceuticals since longer half-lives and longer releases are needed for medications, especially for chronic illnesses.


Sustained Release Excipients Route of Administration Insights


The Sustained Release Excipients Market segmentation, based on route of administration, includes Oral, Intramuscular, Subcutaneous, Transdermal, Intravenous, and Others. The oral category generated the most income in 2023. It is the most sensible and preferred way to provide medicine. The availability of the largest active surface area for drug absorption in comparison to alternative drug delivery technologies is a significant factor in the high share. The ease with which tablets and capsules can be produced has contributed significantly to the long-standing use of the oral route of medication delivery.


Sustained Release Excipients Technology Insights


The Sustained Release Excipients Market segmentation, based on technology, includes Targeted Delivery, Microencapsulation, Wurster Technique, and Others. The targeted delivery category generated the most income in 2023. By delivering the medication to a desired location of action, targeted delivery lowers the possibility of drug toxicity by keeping the medication from entering unwanted bodily areas. Sustained release drug delivery systems achieve higher patient compliance, and localized drug distribution using targeted drug delivery technology leads to a consistent drug impact, less variation in drug levels in circulation, and a low chance of side effects.
