Market Overview 

The France market for excipients is the market for those substances other than the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) that are incorporated in the development of a drug product. These excipients are inactive in therapeutic terms but contribute significantly to the production, stabilization, and drug delivery. The market is composed of a vast array of excipient types such as binders, coatings, disintegrants, glidants, lubricants, diluents, and flavors, among others. The growing adoption of generic drugs and the increasing need for multifunctional excipients are anticipated to be among the significant drivers of revenue growth. Excipients have been seen to render greater functionality and competitive value in drug products, and this has been a contributing factor to their enhanced adoption by pharmaceutical companies. Continued research on and identification of perfect or near-perfect materials that can be employed in drug formulations and delivery have certainly provided the market with a clear boost. Another reason for growth is that most pharmaceutical companies have been creating more advanced excipients with a greater role in drug delivery.
