GLOBAL BIOPHARMACEUTICAL EXCIPIENTS MARKET: GROWTH AND TRENDS
The demand for biopharmaceutical excipients has grown considerably in the past few years as they play a critical role in development of biologics. These biopharmaceutical excipients enhance solubility and bioavailability of biologics, by controlling pH and tonicity of the active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). However, due to the highly complex and capital-intensive manufacturing processes of biopharmaceutical excipients, many contemporary biologic developers prefer to rely on CMOs for the supply of GMP grade excipients. Further, in order to cater to the growing demand for biopharmaceutical excipients across both clinical and commercial scales, CMOs with expertise in this field are expected to expand their capabilities and existing capacities in the coming years.
During our research, we identified various players that offer manufacturing services of biopharmaceutical excipients, including lipids, trehalose, lactose, mannitol, succinate, Tween 20 and benzyl alcohol. These companies are placing greater emphasis on developing co-processed multifunctional biopharmaceutical excipients to enhance the stability and efficacy of innovative biotherapeutics. In fact, over the past three decades biopharmaceutical manufacturers have developed some exceptional excipients which claim to increase the biopharmaceutical formulation shelf life by three times.
