Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/fz7954/pharmaceutical) has announced the addition of the "Pharmaceutical Excipients Market by Products & Functionality - Global Forecast to 2018" report to their offering.

The pharmaceutical excipients market has high-growth potential. This is partly due to the fact that a high number of drugs are going off-patent in the forecast period, which in turn leads to an increase in demand for pharmaceuticals for generic products. On the other hand, stringent regulations appear to restrain the growth of the overall market to a certain extent.

Besides the structural market drivers, there are strong geographic drivers for the growth of the pharmaceutical excipients market. The economic situation and cost-containment issues have diverted excipient manufacturers from the North American and European regions to emerging markets such as India, China, and Brazil. Major companies are establishing their subsidiaries in these regions and are investing in building a stronger foothold in these countries. The Asia-Pacific region forms one of the most promising pharmaceutical excipients markets in the world. Developing countries such as India and China have a relatively high CAGR rate and are expected to see significant market growth due to low labor costs and the rising demand for healthcare.

The market has witnessed a paradigm shift in the use of co-processed excipients and the direct compression method, causing a positive impact on the overall growth of the market. In order to keep up with this change, excipient manufacturers are applying various novel technologies to reduce the processing time in order to yield more production.
