Excipients are inert substances that are generally used to manufacture different forms of drugs and are present in the finished products. Excipients help in providing long-term stability and make solid formulations bulkier. They also improve the functionality of drugs and make them safer.
Based on functionality, the pharmaceutical excipients market is segmented into fillers & diluents, binders, suspending & viscosity agents, flavoring agents & sweeteners, coating agents, colorants, disintegrants, lubricants & glidants, preservatives, emulsifying agents, and other functionalities. The large share of the fillers and diluents segment can be attributed to the increased use of fillers and diluents in the development and production of solid oral drugs.
On the basis of type of formulation, the oral formulations segment dominated the market. The oral route of administration is the most common and traditional route for drug delivery. With the development of excipients to improve the functionality of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in tablets and capsules, the demand for these formulations is high. This in turn will also propel the market growth in the coming years.

The global Excipients market was valued at xx million US$ in 2018 and will reach xx million US$ by the end of 2025, growing at a CAGR of xx% during 2019-2025.
