Excipients are integral non-therapeutic material used in the manufacturing, designing and development of a drug from active molecules. With the help of excipients, consistency, dose accuracy, and better patient compliance can be easily achieved. Superdisintegrants are the excipients used in the pharmaceutical industries for tablet-based drug delivery. It is used as a viscosity-enhancing agent in drug-loaded films, having superior performance, and possesses high drug content uniformity. Superdisintegrants are added to solid dosage forms such as capsules or tablets that aids them to disintegrate when submerged in liquid. Owing to this benefit, these are greatly used in the manufacturing of disintegrating oral formulations, which further increases the demand for superdisintegrants in the market. Thus, the use of superdisintegrants acts as a superior alternative to the conventional viscosity enhancing agents and it is comparatively more economical.
Segmental Outlook
The global superdisintegrants market is segmented on the basis of product type, formulation, and therapeutic area. Based on the product type, the market is sectioned as synthetic superdisintegrants and natural superdisintegrants. Based on the formulation, the market is bifurcated into tablets and capsules. On the basis of the therapeutic area, the market is segmented into infectious diseases, CVD, hematological diseases, neurological diseases, oncology, and others.
Natural Superdisintegrants segment to register significant growth
Based on the product type, the natural superdisintegrants segment shows lucrative growth during the forecast period. Natural superdisintegrants such as ispaghulla, gellan gum, fenugreek seed mucilage, and gum karaya, among others have many benefits over synthetic superdisintegrants, such as biodegradability, chemical inertness, and non-toxicity. Moreover, it can be modified in several ways in order to obtain tailor-made materials for drug delivery systems that aims to enhance safety by the formulation of a convenient dosage.
