Nutraceutical Excipients Market by Form (Dry, Liquid), Source (Inorganic Chemical, Organic Chemical), Function - Global Forecast 2024-2030

[189 Pages Report] The Nutraceutical Excipients Market size was estimated at USD 4.19 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 4.46 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 6.77% to reach USD 6.63 billion by 2030.

Nutraceutical excipients are inactive substances formulated alongside the active ingredients of a nutraceutical product. These excipients serve various functions, such as aiding in product stability, enhancing bioavailability, or improving the overall product aesthetic, such as taste or appearance. This market caters to the application of excipients in the form of binders, fillers, diluents, disintegrants, and coatings, among others, in the nutraceutical industry. Increasing health awareness with the rise in chronic diseases is expanding the consumption of nutraceuticals, subsequently driving the growth of the nutraceutical excipients market. Additionally, the expansion of the dietary supplement market and increased demand for functional foods have spurred the development of innovative nutraceutical excipients. Stringent regulatory requirements for approval and the complexity involved in formulating excipients that are compatible with a range of active ingredients hampers the growth of the market. Rising research and development for excipients that enhance the bioavailability of nutraceuticals represents an opportunity for the growth of the nutraceutical excipients market.

Dry form nutraceutical excipients, including include powders, granulates, and direct compression bases, are widely used in the industry due to their stability, ease of handling, and cost-effectiveness. The preference for dry excipients leans on stability concerns, ease of transport, and longer shelf life. This form also allows for high precision in dosage forms and is typically employed in the production of tablets and capsules. Liquid form excipients are used for the formulation of syrups, elixirs, and suspensions. These excipients can include solvents, preservatives, flavoring agents, and sweeteners. Liquid excipients are preferred when formulating solutions for individuals who have difficulty swallowing solid forms such as pills or capsules. These are also essential in pediatric and geriatric applications due to ease of dose adjustment and palatability.

Inorganic chemicals are excipients that consist of minerals and salts. They are prized for their stability, consistency, and cost-effectiveness. Inorganic excipients are primarily used for their bulking, buffering, and anti-caking properties. Calcium phosphates are used for their compressibility in tablet formulation. Magnesium stearate is used as a lubricant to prevent ingredients from sticking to manufacturing equipment. Organic chemicals are carbon-based excipients derived from natural or synthetic processes. They are essential for their versatility in functions, including as binders, coatings, flavoring agents, and disintegrants.

Binders are critical components that are used to ensure that tablets and capsules stick together successfully. They are typically added to ensure that the ingredients form a cohesive and solid dose. Common binders include cellulose derivatives, including, microcrystalline cellulose, as well as starches, sugars, and synthetic polymers. Coating agents are applied to the surfaces of tablets or granules to mask taste, improve swallowability, protect active ingredients from light or moisture, and control their release. Disintegrants are ingredients added to tablets or capsules that help them to break down into smaller fragments, enhancing the dissolution and absorption of the active components. Common disintegrants include sodium starch glycolate, croscarmellose sodium, and alginic acid. Fillers & diluents are inert substances used to add volume to nutraceuticals, ensuring that tablets and capsules are of a practical size for administration. Commonly used materials include lactose, cellulose, calcium phosphates, and mannitol. ​​Flavoring agents are used to improve the palatability of nutraceuticals, making them more appealing to consume. They can include natural and artificial flavors, such as fruit essences, menthol, or vanilla. Lubricants are substances that are added to nutraceutical formulations to prevent ingredients from clumping together and to ensure that tablets eject smoothly from press machines. Magnesium stearate, stearic acid, and silica are among the common lubricants used.

In the Americas, nutraceutical excipients are bolstered by a presence of robust and health-conscious consumer base with a high demand for functional foods and dietary supplements. Customers are inclined towards transparent labeling and clean excipients that align with their dietary preferences and lifestyle choices. Research initiatives are blending technology with health, as seen in the adoption of advanced delivery systems for improved bioavailability. The European Union exhibits a high level of regulatory rigor in the nutraceutical sector, promoting the safety and efficacy of products. Consumers in the region are inclined towards nutraceuticals with clinically proven health benefits and minimal processing. The EU's Novel Food Regulation is instrumental in guiding new excipients entering the market. Recent patents in the region emphasize innovative botanical extracts and synergistic combinations of excipients that enhance product stability and functionality. Asia-Pacific’s nutraceutical excipients market is rapidly expanding, driven by a growing middle class and an increasingly elderly population. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) influences the development and marketing of nutraceutical products. Patents in the region often incorporate herbal and natural components, with significant investments in research to validate the efficacy of these traditional excipients in modern applications. Middle East and Africa are experiencing rising demand for dietary supplements and functional foods due to a growing expatriate population and an increase in lifestyle-related diseases.
