The global sugar-based excipients market is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period (2021-2027).  The excipient is a pharmacologically inactive agent that is combined with the medication's active ingredient. This occurs for a variety of reasons, including adding material to a formulation, preventing denaturation, facilitating drug absorption by a patient, and other pharmacokinetic considerations. Pure sugar, polymer, complex carbohydrates, and even human and animal gelatin are all instances of excipients. The most frequent type of excipient used in oral medication is a sugar-based excipient. It is particularly important for drugs intended for toddlers and youngsters. It's found in a variety of products, including sucrose, glycerol, saccharin sodium, sorbitol, and others. Antibiotics and cough syrups for youngsters are the most common instances in which sugar-based excipients are used to reduce the bitterness of active medicines.

Among all sugar-based excipients, mannitol is the most expensive diluent kind of excipient utilized in chewable tablets to refresh feeling. Increased use of co-processed excipients, the rapid rise in the generics market owing to the rising development of Orally Disintegrating Tablets (ODT) are important factors driving the market growth for sugar-based excipients. Sugar alcohol is the fastest-growing sugar-based excipient owing to the widespread use of mannitol in a variety of dosage forms. Another attributable factor for the sugar alcohol segment's strong growth in the next years is the high adaptability of alcohol-based sugar excipients in developing formulation technology such as orally disintegrating tablets and others. When it comes to sugar-based excipients, granular form sugar-based excipients have a substantial market share owing to their widespread use in the pharmaceutical industry.
