Alcohol excipients serve as inactive substances utilized alongside active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) to enhance drug formulation and delivery. They function as solvents or carriers, enhancing drug solubility, stability, and absorption, thereby playing a critical role in ensuring the efficacy and safety of pharmaceutical products by facilitating regulated release and consistent bioavailability.
Common types of alcohol excipients include sorbitol, mannitol, propylene glycol, glycerin, and others. Sorbitol, a sugar alcohol, finds widespread use in pharmaceuticals and personal care items. Its diverse applications span various sectors such as pharmaceuticals, personal care, cosmetics, and others, distributed through channels such as direct tender or retail sales.

This alcohol excipients market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The alcohol excipients market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.63 billion in 2023 to $2.88 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4%. The growth observed in the historical period can be ascribed to several factors including a heightened preference among consumers for self-medication, an upsurge in global healthcare expenditures, the expansion of personalized medicine, the rise of biologics, and an enhanced consumer consciousness regarding health and wellness.
The alcohol excipients market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.16 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6%. In the forecast period, growth is anticipated due to various factors such as the escalating prevalence of chronic illnesses, increased investments in pharmaceutical research and development, a growing emphasis on patient-centric formulations and personalized medicine, heightened consumption of medicinal drugs, and the expanding elderly demographic. Notable trends in the forecast period encompass the adoption of natural and plant-based alcohol excipients, advancements in technology, the development of controlled-release formulations, the utilization of multifunctional excipients, and progress in personalized medicine.
The growth of the alcohol excipients market is anticipated to be driven by the rising consumption of medical drugs. These drugs, utilized for diagnosis, treatment, prevention, or health enhancement, are increasingly integrated into everyday life due to factors such as the aging population, medicalization trends, and healthcare system incentives. Alcohol excipients play a crucial role in pharmaceutical formulations, enhancing drug solubility, stability, transport, and palatability, thus ensuring the effectiveness and acceptance of medicinal medications. For example, in December 2022, the Government of Canada reported a 5.7% increase in patented medication sales, reaching $18.4 billion, underscoring the influence of escalating medical drug consumption on the alcohol excipients market's expansion.
Leading players in the alcohol excipients market prioritize innovation, focusing on advanced technologies such as direct compression to meet evolving industry needs efficiently. Direct compression, a tablet manufacturing method that directly compresses powders, including alcohol-based excipients, into tablets without granulation, is gaining traction. For instance, in November 2022, Roquette Freres introduced PEARLITOL CR-H, a blend of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and mannitol designed specifically for direct compression in medicinal tablet formulations. This innovative excipient enables the gradual release of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) without conventional wet granulation techniques, streamlining tablet production by enhancing powder mixture flowability and compressibility while facilitating controlled-release medication development.
In April 2021, Aceto Corporation, a US-based chemical firm, acquired A&C Limited to expand its manufacturing and packaging capabilities, enrich its biopharmaceutical product portfolio, and enhance customer support throughout the drug development process. A&C Limited, a Canada-based excipient manufacturer specializing in alcohol excipients, aligns with Aceto Corporation's strategic goals for growth and innovation in the pharmaceutical sector.
