COVID-19 Impact on Global Pharmaceutical Excipients Market:
The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the pharma industry. Lockdowns imposed in the wake of the outbreak disrupted the supply of raw materials from manufacturing hubs such as India and China. This slowed drug development and manufacturing, with severe impacts on companies that relied heavily on outsourcing. The entire pharmaceutical ecosystem was disrupted initially. Moreover, regulatory authorities also had to reframe and construct new laws to ensure maximum patient safety after drug consumption.
The end of the lockdowns saw the pharma industry gaining momentum, especially given the demand for drugs such as hydroxychloroquine and Remdesivir, which showed positive results against COVID-19. The increasing demand for these drugs drove revenue growth for some companies. The above mentioned factors suggest that the Covid-19 impact on the pharmaceutical excipients market is negligible as it is the starting material in manufacturing of pharmaceutical drugs.
Expected Revenue Growth:
The pharmaceutical excipients market is projected to reach USD 10.6 billion by 2026 from USD 7.9 billion in 2021, at a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period. The overall growth of the pharmaceutical excipients market is largely driven by the growing pharmaceuticals market, advancements in functional excipients, and the growing generics market.
