Nutraceutical Excipients Market

Market Synopsis:

The Global Nutraceutical Excipients Market was valued at USD 3.2 Billion in 2021 and is expected to reach a value of USD 4.8 Billion by 2028. In the projected period, the Global Market is anticipated to grow and exhibit a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 7.00%.

The inert additives known as Nutraceutical Excipients are created with Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) to bulk up solutions that include potent active agents. These Nutraceutical Excipients are used in standardized pharmaceutical-grade supplements. The term "nutraceutical" refers to food or food that has been fortified and is made from food sources that not only enrich the diet but also offer extra health advantages in addition to the actual nutritional content already present in meals. Medical foods, designer foods, functional foods, etc., are other words used to describe nutraceuticals. To provide better health conditions, they also assist in delivering medical benefits and aid in treating or preventing diseases. The market will expand during the projected period due to the rising demand for multipurpose excipients.

Nutraceuticals are very unstable by nature. As a result, there is a necessity to stabilize the physiochemical characteristics of nutraceuticals. This factor, in turn, is also expected to drive market growth. In addition, the development of the Nutraceutical Excipients Market is fueled by the usage of nanotechnology. The use of nanotechnology further enhances the functions of excipients. Furthermore, the growing demand for nutraceuticals and dietary supplements due to consumers' increased knowledge of lifestyle diseases also contributes to the markets expansion.

Along with increasing government initiatives and awareness campaigns, the increased use of excipients with multifunctional qualities is seen as an emerging trend among the leading players. Therefore, it is anticipated to open up new potential opportunities for the market.

On the contrary, the possibilities for the markets expansion are constrained by the declining returns on Research and Development (R&D) investments and the high costs of clinical trials and registration. Moreover, the expense of demonstrating an excipients efficacy through clinical studies is also relatively high and can seriously impede the commercialization of innovative excipients.
