Global Nutraceutical Excipients Market Definition

Nutraceutical Excipients are the inactive components that are prepared with Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) for bulking up solutions that possess powerful active ingredients. These nutraceutical excipients are made use of in standardized and pharmaceutical-grade supplements. Nutraceutical is a term used for the food or fortified food which is derived from food sources that not only supplement the diet but also provide additional health benefits along with the basic nutritional value present in foods. Other terms used for nutraceuticals are medical foods, functional foods, designer foods, etc. They also aid in providing medical benefits and help in treating or preventing diseases in ensuring improved health conditions.

Nutraceutical products contain various compounds which are unstable to heat, light, oxygen, alkaline pH, and elevated humidity. They may also have poor flow, bulk density, and variable particle size distribution. This unstable nature of compounds is controlled by incorporating different nutraceutical excipients such as fillers, diluents, disintegrates, binders, coating agents, flavoring agents, colorant, sweeteners, lubricants, and others during the production of different form of supplements i.e. tablets, capsules, powders, and liquid syrups. There are numerous forms of nutraceutical products available in the market, such as antioxidants, probiotics, prebiotics, dietary supplements, and others, when used in combination with physical exercise was seen as beneficial for cardiovascular diseases.

Global Nutraceutical Excipients Market Overview

The growing need of stabilizing the physiochemical properties in nutraceuticals due to their unstable nature coupled with the rising demand for multipurpose excipients will drive the growth of the market in the forecast period. Poor drug physicochemical properties can be improved by associating the drug with a pharmaceutical carrier. A drug delivery system (DDS) can enhance a drug’s pharmacokinetics and cellular penetration. Moreover, the drug delivery system (DDS) may also address obstacles arising from low drug solubility, degradation, fast clearance rates, nonspecific toxicity, and inability to cross biological barriers.

In addition, advancement in nanotechnology is also driving the market. Nanotechnology-enabled drug delivery systems (NDDS) are used to cater to the issue of drug toxicity. There are two major approaches to use nanotechnology as a drug delivery system (DDS). The first is to reduce the size of nutraceutical drug crystals to ensure enhanced solubility and bioavailability, while the second approach is to use some form of nano-carrier for effective delivery of active ingredients. Hence, the use of nanotechnology for improving the functionalities of excipients is also projected to drive the growth of the Nutraceutical Excipients Market during the forecast period.

Furthermore, owing to the increasing demand for nutraceuticals and dietary supplements due to increasing awareness among consumers regarding lifestyle diseases further propel the market growth. The high use of excipients with multifunctional properties is witnessed as an emerging trend among the key players along with a rising number of government initiatives and awareness campaigns is expected to create new growth opportunities for the growth of the market.

However, the decrease in the returns on R&D investments and high clinical trials and registration restraints the market growth prospects. high R&D investments do not give equal returns in terms of productivity, as even after successful molecule discovery, the cost of bringing a new nutraceutical product and a new excipient into the market is significantly high. At the same time, the risk of failure also remains high. The cost of proving the effectiveness of an excipient through clinical trials is also relatively expensive and can be a major hindrance to the development of novel excipients in the market.
