Pharmaceutical pellets are small, spherical particles containing one or more active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) along with excipients. They are used as a starting material in the production of various dosage forms such as tablets, capsules and granules. These pellets offer several advantages in pharmaceutical manufacturing, including improved drug release profiles, enhanced bioavailability and easier processing during formulation.
The pharmaceutical pellets market consists of sales of pharmaceutical pellets which refer to small, free-flowing spherical units ranging in size, prepared by agglomeration of fine powders called pellets. They are used in both injections and oral drug delivery. The size of pellets typically ranges between 0.5 and 1.5 mm, though other sizes can also be prepared.
The global pharmaceutical pellets market was valued at $1,151.0 million in 2018 which grew till 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 7.0%.
Increased Healthcare Spending
The increased healthcare spending propelled the growth of pharmaceutical pellets market. Healthcare spending refers to the final consumption of healthcare goods and services, including personal health care (curative care, rehabilitative care, long-term care, ancillary services and medical goods) and collective services (prevention and public health services as well as health administration), but excluding spending on investments. For instance, in May 2023, the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based statistics authority, reported that healthcare spending in the UK increased by 9.4% in nominal terms and 9.7% in real terms. UK total healthcare expenditure in 2021 was $367.25 billion (£280.7 billion) and pharmaceutical expenditure was $51.84 billion (£39.6 billion) in 2021. Furthermore, spending on preventive care was $45.93 billion (£35.1 billion) in 2021, more than doubling from the previous year. Further, in April 2022, according to the National Library of Medicine, a US-based medical library, pharmaceutical spending in the United States increased by 7.7% in 2021 compared to the previous year, reaching a total of $576.9 billion. Therefore, the increased healthcare spending drove the growth of the pharmaceutical pellets market.
Strategic Partnerships And Collaborations Among Market Players
Companies operating in the pharmaceutical pellets market are focusing on strategic partnerships and collaborations to expand their geographical presence and product portfolio.
