Superdisintegrants are one of the many excipients utilized in the pharmaceutical industry for tablet-based drug administration. Disintegrants are substances that expand and dissolve when wet causing the tablet to break apart in the digestive tract, releasing active ingredients for absorption. In addition, they make sure that when the tablet is in contact with water, it breaks down rapidly into smaller fragments, making way for dissolution, thus reducing the time required for the drug release.

MARKET DRIVERS:

Increasing healthcare expenditure and healthcare awareness among individuals have accounted for the growth of the global superdisintegrants market.

Worldwide healthcare expenditure is growing continuously, and the trend is anticipated to grow in the coming years. YOY growth in the aging population, growing chronic disease patient count, and increasing costs of medical technologies are contributing to the growing healthcare expenditure worldwide. According to statistics published by the World Health Organization (WHO), worldwide healthcare expenditure was valued at USD 6.5 Trillion in 2010 and increased to USD 9.7 Trillion in 2019. The developed countries accounted for the major proportion of global healthcare spending. On the other hand, healthcare spending from developing and underdeveloped countries is also increasing as they seek better healthcare access and increasing the burden of various diseases. The growing healthcare expenditure is resulting in the growing consumption of superdisintegrants and boosting the market’s growth rate.

The growth of the global superdisintegrants market is further attributed to factors such as the growing population of geriatric and pediatric patients, the growing generic drugs market, and the development of new superdisintegrants in the pharmaceutical industry. In addition, increasing demand for manufacturing highly accurate and useful drugs with appropriate dosage levels of various excipients and active ingredients elevates the market's growth rate. Furthermore, the growing healthcare expenditure and increasing disposable income in urban areas are further propelling the superdisintegrants market growth.

The main goal of drug manufacturers is to reduce the dissolving time of a tablet in the digestive part and release active ingredients, which is solely to set up growth opportunities for the market. The growing prevalence of producing generic drugs is also fuelling the market's growth. In addition, rising incidences of chronic diseases and other health disorders due to lifestyle changes and food habits create chances for the market to grow eventually.

MARKET RESTRAINTS:

However, the declining financial support for R&D fields hinders the market's growth. Although synthetic Superdisintegrants have been the standard for many decades now, more significant research into natural Superdisintegrants will motivate the future growth of the global superdisintegrants market.

Impact of Covid-19 on the global superdisintegrants Market:

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the global economy. It is due to the commercial and industrial zones have been put under lockdown by government bodies. However, if no more lockdowns are enforced worldwide, the economy is expected to rebound quickly and return to pre-COVID levels by the end of 2021. Pharmaceutical and biotech companies collaborate with governments worldwide to combat the COVID-19 epidemic, from vaccine production to preparing for pharmaceutical supply chain challenges.

Besides that, widely used medications like Hydroxychloroquine have seen a significant rise in demand for the treatment of COVID-19. Since many developing countries are low on these medications, the high demand has presented a tremendous opportunity for manufacturers of COVID-19 control drugs. Superdisintegrants are agents added to tablets to speed up the tablet's breakdown into small fragments in aqueous conditions, allowing the substance to be released more quickly into the body. The global effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are already being felt, and the superdisintegrants market will be significantly impacted in 2020. Superdisintegrants have gained the attention of the pharmaceutical industry in recent years because they improve the solubility of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) in the body by increasing drug absorption, thus increasing drug bioavailability. Tablets and capsules contain the super disintegrant agent. Therefore, the market for superdisintegrants has been steadily growing in recent years, and it is expected to continue growing during the forecast period.
