The global biopharmaceutical excipients market size is expected to reach USD 3.76 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 5.50% from 2023 to 2030. The increasing focus of pharmaceutical players on the generic market, rising adoption of multifunctional excipients, and patent expiry of biological actives are the key factors propelling market growth. Furthermore, the cost-efficiency & competency of manufacturers and the chemical and physical instability of biopharmaceuticals are boosting the development of excipients, thus propelling the market.

The demand for biosimilars has increased in recent years, which has in turn led to a rise in the demand for biopharmaceutical excipients. Supporting factors such as patent expirations, increasing government funding, patient demographics, and rising affordability have propelled the adoption of biosimilars across the globe. In addition, the rapidly evolving healthcare infrastructure in developing economies has increased their use in the production of biogenerics. Furthermore, the introduction of well-framed legislation to ensure proper regulatory and testing standards for biosimilars globally is set to ease market entry for manufacturers.
