Global Pharmaceutical Pellets Market Size is valued at USD 2.1 Billion in 2024 and is predicted to reach USD 6.0 Billion by the year 2034 at a 10.9% CAGR during the forecast period for 2025-2034.
Pellets or granules are free-flowing units created by agglomeration processes in capsules. Fine powders are transformed into fine particles using agglomeration processes. Compared to alternative dosage forms, these particles have various advantages, including the ability to administer multiple medications in a single dose, disguise the desired drug aftertaste, and improve patient compliance with drug administration.
Furthermore, medication pellets have a wide range of applications in the pharmaceutical industry since they can improve the appearance of drugs and are compatible with chemically incompatible drugs. The rising prevalence of chronic disorders is propelling the pharmaceutical pellets industry forward. Furthermore, increased government spending on healthcare programs and infrastructure is supporting the expansion of the pharmaceutical pellet market.
However, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted every other industry's supply chain. The healthcare industry is expected to rise by double digits by 2025. This, in turn, has offered attractive prospects for new entrants and emerging market players.
The Pharmaceutical Pellets Market is segmented on the basis of technology and mechanism of action. The Technology segment includes dry powder layering, extrusion, fluid bed granulation, solution & suspension layering, spray congealing, and spray drying. The mechanism of action segment includes diffusion, erosion, and osmosis.
The extrusion category is expected to hold a major share of the global Pharmaceutical Pellets Market in 2024. Extrusion is one of the most used methods for producing pellets. Extrusion is a multi-stage process that produces uniform-sized pellets. Dry mixing to achieve homogeneity is one of the key steps, followed by wet mixing to form an appropriate plastic mass. Another recent method that has gotten a lot of interest in solution and suspension layering. The pellets or particles are formed consistently in this procedure, resulting in excellent surface morphology. The solutions and suspension layering category has grown over time, contributing to the expansion of its market share.
The diffusion segment is projected to grow at a rapid rate in the global pharmaceutical pellets market. It is the most often utilized method for releasing drugs from pellets. Diffusion is the most precise and effective technique for the creation of medicinal pellets. Over the projected period, the osmosis segment is expected to grow steadily and profitably.
The North America Pharmaceutical Pellets Market is expected to register the most increased market share in terms of revenue shortly. Pharmaceutical pellets market expansion is being fueled by the rise in R&D activities in the pharmaceutical sector as well as rising expenditure on healthcare infrastructure. Because of the growing number of elderly individuals, the Asia Pacific area is predicted to develop rapidly during the projection period. Furthermore, increased government investments to improve the country's healthcare environment boost market growth. Meanwhile, the growing availability of biopharmaceuticals is driving market expansion in the region.
