Global Pharmaceutical Hot Melt Extrusion Equipment Market Definition

In the early 1930s, hot-melt extrusion (HME) processing was introduced, and it quickly became the most frequently used processing method in the plastic, rubber, and food sectors. HME was first employed in the pharmaceutical sector in the early 1970s, and it was used in both formulation and product development, as well as production. Hot-melt extrusion is a continuous process that involves applying pressure and heat to melt a polymer and forcing it through an orifice. In the rubber, plastic, and food sectors, it is a widely used processing method. More than half of all plastic goods, including sheets, tubes, bags, films, fibers, foams, and pipes, are made by hot-melt extrusion (HME).

Because of its capacity to create innovative medications with improved bioavailability, the hot-melt extrusion technique is increasingly being used in pharmaceutical applications. The use of heat, agitation, and pressure via the extrusion channel to mix components and force them into the desired form is known as hot-melt extrusion. The hot-melt extrusion technique is used to increase the bioavailability of beneficial medicinal compounds. It’s also used to make precursors for a variety of thermoplastic drug-eluting devices, including intravaginal rings, subcutaneous implants, and intraocular implants.

For drug administration via oral, transdermal, and transmucosal channels, HME has emerged as an alternative platform technology to other established approaches for making pharmaceutical dosage forms such as tablets, capsules, films, and implants. With the introduction of HME to pharmaceutical formulation production, sophisticated equipment such as the extruder, specialized downstream auxiliary equipment, and monitoring instruments have become accessible for use in assessing product performance and quality. This increased accessibility has aided the adoption of this cutting-edge approach in pharmaceutical production procedures involving single and twin-screw extruders.

Global Pharmaceutical Hot Melt Extrusion Equipment Market Overview

The Global Pharmaceutical Hot Melt Extrusion Equipment Market is expected to grow during the forecasted period due to the rising demand for novel drugs, increasing bioavailability issues of drugs, and the growing awareness among the manufacturers. Moreover, competitive pricing strategies, strategic mergers & acquisitions, and technological advancements are major drivers of the market’s growth.

Furthermore, the die plates may be replaced according to the extruded diameter. As a result of these characteristics and benefits, the demand for pharmaceutical hot melt extrusion is expected to increase. However, the market is expected to be restrained by rising concern about the overall quality of the whole procedure and non-adherence to certain compulsory regulations.
