Dry from dominated the Nutraceutical Excipients Market

The Nutraceutical Excipients market has been segmented on the basis of form into dry and liquid. Nutraceutical products require proper mixing of active nutraceutical ingredients and inactive ingredients such as excipients to ensure accurate distribution in the formulation. The major forms of nutraceutical excipients considered in the report are dry and liquid forms. Powder flowability is among the important determining factors responsible for influencing the optimal performance of an excipient. Excellent flow-ability of the excipient powder is an essential characteristic required for it to function as a filler, diluent, or a binder in nutraceutical products such as in orally dissolving tablet (ODT). The taste masking capabilities of an excipient in the form of powder also have significant effects on the acceptability of the end product, as an active nutraceutical ingredient often possesses an undesirable taste.

Prebiotics, probiotics and minerals market are poised to grow at significant rate during the forecast period

On the basis of end product, the nutraceutical excipients market is segmented into prebiotics, probiotics, proteins & amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids. Proteins & amino acids accounted for the largest share, followed by the omega-3 fatty acids, in 2016. Excipients facilitate stabilization of proteins and protect them from undesirable chemical reactions. Excipients play a vital role in controlling and enhancing the organoleptic characteristics of nutraceutical products, while monitoring their delivery and ensuring that they remain chemically inert until the point of delivery. Excipients are being increasingly used in protein & amino acid nutraceutical products.

North America dominated the nutraceutical excipients market in 2016.

North America accounted for the largest market share in 2016. The nutraceutical excipients market is consolidated in North America and dominated by a few companies such as DuPont, Kerry, Cargill, and Ingredion. The market for nutraceutical excipients here is mature, and hence, the growth is moderate compared to other regions.
