INDIA BIOPHARMACEUTICAL EXCIPIENTS MARKET: OVERVIEW

As per Roots Analysis, the India biopharmaceutical excipients market is estimated to grow from USD 232 million in the current year to USD 467 million by 2035 at a CAGR of 9.3% during the forecast period, 2026-2040.

INDIA BIOPHARMACEUTICAL EXCIPIENTS MARKET: GROWTH AND TRENDS

Over time, the increasing popularity of biologics has led to significant transformation in the healthcare sector. Due to their unique advantages over small molecules, such as greater efficacy, specific targeting, and better safety profiles, biologics are anticipated to continue propelling advancements in treatments for cancer, autoimmune diseases, rare illnesses, and genetic disorders.

Biologics are structurally intricate and naturally less stable than small molecules, making them susceptible to both physical (such as aggregation, precipitation, and denaturation) and chemical (such as oxidation, deamidation, and hydrolysis) degradation. To mitigate these challenges, a variety of biopharmaceutical excipients including sugars (sucrose and trehalose), amino acids (arginine), surfactants (polysorbates), and polymeric substances (PEGs) are employed to stabilize formulations, enhance solubility, regulate pH and tonicity, and improve overall bioavailability. In fact, more than 70% of marketed biologics depend on polysorbates as stabilizers, while bulking agents, antioxidants, and preservatives broaden their functional capabilities. Furthermore, excipients have become essential in facilitating advanced drug product formats, including lyophilized vials, prefilled syringes, and ready-to-use liquid formulations. New innovations, especially in lipid-based excipients for mRNA vaccines and therapies, are further broadening the excipient landscape.

Notably the biopharmaceutical excipients market in India is expanding rapidly as it becomes a global center for the production of biologics and generics, bolstered by investments in manufacturing and research and development facilities. The industry exhibits reduced production expenses, a skilled workforce, and governmental initiatives, such as the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) program, which enhances domestic manufacturing of APIs and excipients. Increasing healthcare expenditures, spurred by a growing middle-class population along with the prevalence of chronic diseases, further intensify the need for specialized excipients in biologics formulations. Combined with the growing trend of outsourcing and increasing regulatory support for new excipients, the utilization of biopharmaceutical excipients is expected to experience continued market growth throughout the forecast period.

Growth Drivers: Strategic Enablers of Market Expansion

The demand for biopharmaceutical excipients in India is driven by enhanced R&D and manufacturing capabilities. Investments in biologics by domestic and global companies increase the demand for specialized excipients, such as polyols. Further, government initiatives and the rising prevalence of chronic diseases drive the rapid adoption of affordable excipients in generics and biosimilars.

Market Challenges: Critical Barriers Impeding Progress

Strict regulatory governance leads to delays in the approval of new excipients owing to comprehensive testing and absence of independent routes. Elevated production expenses from advanced facilities restrict affordability in regard to traditional alternatives. Inconsistent quality and differing standards among regions impede the adoption of innovation.

Antibodies: Leading Market Segment

In terms of type of modality, the India biopharmaceutical excipient market is segmented across antibodies, vaccines, cell and gene therapies, proteins / peptides and other biologics. Currently, antibodies segment captures around 50% of the overall market share. Monoclonal antibodies lead the biopharmaceutical excipients market because of their significant presence in the biologics sector, representing the majority of approvals, sales, and production volumes in treatments for cancer and autoimmune disorders.

Buffering Agents: Dominating Market Segment

In terms of type of excipients, the India biopharmaceutical excipient market is segmented across buffering agents, lyoprotectant agents, stabilizers and surfactants, tonicity agents, pH-adjusting agents and others. Currently, majority (~30%) of the market share is held by buffering agents. Buffering agents occupy a considerable market segment in the biopharmaceutical excipients market owing to their crucial role in preserving accurate pH levels, essential for stability, efficacy, and protection against degradation of sensitive biological molecules such as proteins and monoclonal antibodies throughout manufacturing, purification, and formulation.

Contract Manufacturers: Emerging Market Segment

In terms of end-users, the India biopharmaceutical excipient market is segmented across drug developers, hybrid players and contract manufacturers. Currently, majority (~60%) of the market share is held by drug developers. However, contract manufacturers are expected to grow at a higher CAGR of 12.7%.
