Impact of COVID-19 on the current market size and forecast.

COVID-19 pandemic has led multiple operations to cease. The global nutraceutical excipients market is increasingly impacted due to the uncertain circumstances that have occurred worldwide. The effects of COVID-19 primarily affect the supply chain of final products, as well as raw material ingredients of global manufacturers. As its major applications are concentrated in products belonging to dietary supplements, followed by food & beverages, the market is projected to witness a slow-down until the local and national governments do not ease import and export regulations. Overall, this market is dominated by the global players that have manufacturing facilities in certain regions and operations/supply across countries.

The binders segment is estimated to account for the largest share in the nutraceutical excipients market in 2020, by functionality.

Based on functionality, binders accounted for the largest market share in 2019, followed by the fillers & diluents functionality segment. Binder is increasingly being used by dietary supplement manufacturers since these excipients are formulated to act as an adhesive to “bind together” powders, granules, and other dry ingredients to impart the required mechanical strength. Binders can also help in adding volume to low-active dose tablets, resulting in producing effective tablets with appropriate actives by holding the ingredients together. In addition, some binders also act as fillers and diluents in an array of application products, namely magnesium stearate, which is used widely as food and supplement additive. Due to factors such as versatility and vital importance in gaining product efficiency, binders are gaining traction and are witnessing a rise in consumption as an excipient in the nutraceutical industry.

The segment estimated to account for the largest share in the market in 2020, by end product, is the probiotics segments.

Probiotics are yeast and good bacteria that are beneficial for consumers, as they enhance digestion and gut health, improve immunity, increase nutrient absorption, and lower the chances of food allergies. Probiotic products are offered in different forms, including yogurt and drinks, and supplement forms such as tablets and capsules. However, there are two main challenges to develop a probiotic formulation viable for commercial utilization. The first one is the quality of health attributes that the probiotic organisms can confer, and the second one is the stability of the formulation until the end of its shelf life. Companies are focusing on developing and offering probiotic blend products, which includes APIs (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient), containing probiotic formulations by using different types of excipients. Among the excipients used in these blends for probiotics formulation, mannitol was found the most suitable, which helped in the enhancement of the shelf life of end-products.

North America is estimated to dominate the nutraceutical excipients market in 2020

North America accounted for the largest market share in 2019. The nutraceutical excipients market in North America is dominating, owing to the concentration of the global players such as DuPont (US), Kerry (Ireland), Cargill (US), and Ingredion (US). The market for nutraceutical excipients here is mature, and hence, the growth is moderate compared to other regions. Other factors contributing to the growth of nutraceutical excipients in North American region include the busy lifestyle of consumers, prevalence of chronic diseases due to hectic lifestyles, and an increase in awareness among consumers regarding the health benefits of nutritional foods, including food supplements, which has driven the demand for functional food products. In addition, the use of technological advancements and new product launches have made excipients available for a wide range of applications in the fortified food & beverage, dietary supplements, and nutraceuticals sectors, which is projected to drive the growth of the market in the region.
