Excipients play a vital role in drug formulations, and glucose is an important type of pharmaceutical excipient used in different formulations. Glucose serves its role as excipient by acting as an osmotic agent, sweetening agent, binder, base for syrups, and parenteral formulation, among others. Liquid glucose is used in conjunction with sugar to make flavored candies and chocolates. It is also used to make glucose biscuits. Excipients help keep food products soft and fresh as well as acting as preservatives. Glucose excipients are also widely used in cosmetic formulations.
Market Dynamics:
Increasing demand for glucose excipients from various end-use industries, such as the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries, growing focus on the drug discovery and development, growing adoption of alcohol-based glucose excipients, and increasing use of cosmetic products are major factors expected to augment the growth of the global glucose excipient market. Moreover, increasing adoption of glucose based excipient for taste masking of obnoxious drugs is also a major driving factor for global glucose excipient market. Moreover, rising elder and pediatrics population who prefers flavored medication is also expected to drive the market growth.
