Lewes, DE -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/21/2016 -- World Excipients Market—Opportunities and Forecasts, 2014–2020, projects that the world excipients market would reach $6.4 billion by 2020 at a CAGR of 7.6% during 2015 and 2020. Organic chemicals would continue to be the highest revenue-generating segment during the forecast period. North America and Europe will continue to be the lead revenue generating economies through 2020. These regions collectively accounted for about three-fourth of share in the global excipients market in 2015.

Factors that drive the global excipients market are rising demand for pharmaceutical drugs, increasing popularity of functional excipients, drug pipeline, development of novel excipients, and increasing generic drugs market caused by expiration of various bestseller drugs patents. Factors that are likely to impede the market growth include, supply chain issues, high market fragmentation, and implementation of stringent regulations.

Binders segment generated highest revenue in 2015 and is anticipated to maintain this trend throughout the forecast period. This is attributed to the higher use of binders in pharmaceutical drugs as compared to fillers and diluents. However, fillers and diluents led this segment in terms of volume (units) in 2015 and accounted for about one fourth of the overall market. Economical cost and high popularity of fillers and diluents across pharmaceutical and excipient industries were the key factors responsible for the dominance of filler and diluents segment.
