Sugar-based Excipients Market continues to expand with Colorcon Inc. launching Opadry SGR, a rapid sugar film coating system

 


Different types of Sugar-based excipients are included in food and beverages to make them sweet and tasty. Generally, there are two types of excipients: physical and chemical. The chemical form of excipients contains carbon dioxide, carbonic acid, and water together with some additional substances that enhance its visibility as a solid, and thus, increase its stability for storage and transportation. The primary factor that fuels growth of the sugar-based excipients is the rapidly increasing use of co-processed excipients. These excipients have been developed to handle changes in the physical properties of particles at sub-particle levels. Thus, co-processed excipients have witnessed high adoption in pharmaceutical dosage. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), India’s domestic pharmaceutical market reached US$ 20.03 billion in 2019, increasing from US$ 18.12 billion in 2018. Such factors can bolster growth of the Sugar-based Excipients Market in the near future.

When it comes to regional impact, Europe seems to be gaining significant traction in the Sugar-based Excipients Market. This is due to the presence of major pharmaceutical companies such as Associated British Foods PLC, Meggle AG, and more across Europe. On the contrary, Asia Pacific is registering a positive outlook with improving healthcare infrastructure in the region. Recently, in January 2018, Colorcon Inc. launched Opadry SGR, a rapid sugar film coating system.

The physical form of sugar-based excipients includes the crystals of cane sugar, brown sugar, raw sugar, turbinado sugar, corn sugar, fructose, molasses, maple sugar, sucrose, and so on. However, stringent quality control procedures can be a major challenge in the development of the said market. Besides, increasing regulatory requirements leading to a shortage of U.S. FDA-approved manufacturing sites could potentially impede growth of the Sugar-based Excipients Market in the near future.

Natural sugar-based excipients are extensively used in the manufacturing of diabetic products, particularly in the manufacture of diabetic inhalers and insulin products. These ingredients possess long stability properties and therefore are suitable for inhalation medications. They have low permeability properties, therefore ensuring a high level of solubility. Over the years, the development of orally disintegrating tablets (ODT) has expanded across the globe. ODTs are typically used for patients who experience dysphagia, which is difficulty in swallowing. Sugar-based excipients are widely used in the production of ODTs. Hence, such factors can accelerate growth of the sugar-based excipients market.
