Tablet Coatings Market by Polymer Type, Type, Functionality, End User

List of Tables

The Tablet Coatings Market was valued at USD 2.28 billion in 2023, expected to reach USD 2.46 billion in 2024, and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.26%, to USD 3.98 billion by 2030.

Tablet coatings are crucial within the pharmaceutical industry, primarily designed to enhance the integrity, aesthetic value, and efficacy of tablets. These coatings protect the tablet's contents from environmental impact and improve patient compliance by masking tastes or odors. The necessity of tablet coatings lies in their ability to control the release of active pharmaceutical ingredients, ensure product stability, and provide a barrier to moisture and oxidation. Applications span various forms, such as enteric coatings, that offer targeted drug delivery within the gastrointestinal tract, and film coatings, that provide a polished, dust-free surface. End-use scope extends to pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries, which rely heavily on these coatings to enhance product appeal and functionality.
