Superdisintegrants Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2022 - 2027)

The superdisintegrants market studied was expected to grow with a CAGR of approximately 8.1% over the forecast period. The major factors accrediting to the growth of the market are increasing adoption of orally disintegrating tablets, and increasing healthcare expenditure and awareness. Furthermore, the increasing number of pediatric patients and the geriatric population cannot swallow solid forms of medication. These agents are used as a viscosity-improving agent in drug-loaded films, having improved performance, and maintains high drug content uniformity. Superdisintegrants are added to solid dosage forms such as capsules or tablets that aids them to disintegrate when submerged in liquid. Due to this benefit, these are significantly used in the manufacturing of disintegrating oral formulations, which further increases the demand for superdisintegrants in the market. However, the concerns related to safety and quality are the major drawback of market growth.
