Disintegration Tester Market Report 2024

This Disintegration Tester market report covers market characteristics, size and growth, segmentation, regional and country breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends and strategies for this market. It traces the market’s historic and forecast market growth by geography.

The disintegration tester market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $96.41 billion in 2023 to $103.09 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth during the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including the rising number of automatic disintegration tests, the expansion of the pharmaceutical industry, increased research and development efforts, a growing need for regulatory compliance and quality assurance, higher healthcare expenditures, and an increasing emphasis on quality control.

The disintegration tester market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $135.87 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The anticipated growth during the forecast period can be linked to the rising incidence of chronic diseases, increased health awareness among consumers, growth in the production of generic drugs, a greater emphasis on quality control in drug manufacturing, and a rising demand for automation. Significant trends expected during this period include product innovation, advancements in pharmaceutical technology, integration with digital technologies, innovations in in-line testing techniques, and the incorporation of the Internet of Things (IoT).

The anticipated growth of the pharmaceutical industry is expected to significantly drive the expansion of the disintegration tester market in the future. The pharmaceutical industry focuses on the research, development, production, and distribution of drugs and medications that prevent, diagnose, treat, and cure diseases. Factors contributing to the expansion of this sector include an aging population, increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, advancements in medical technology, improved healthcare access, and heightened awareness of health and wellness. Disintegration testers are essential tools in the pharmaceutical industry, used to assess the time it takes for tablets, capsules, or other solid dosage forms to break down into smaller particles when subjected to specific fluids under controlled conditions similar to those in the human gastrointestinal tract. For example, data from the Government of Canada in August 2024 indicates that domestic pharmaceutical exports increased from 10.71 billion in 2021 to 12.79 billion in 2022, while imports rose from 26.63 billion in 2021 to 30.21 billion in 2022. Thus, the growth of the pharmaceutical industry is a key factor driving the demand for disintegration testers.

Leading companies in the disintegration tester market are focusing on developing innovative products, including digital high-volume dissolution testers and cable-free disintegration baskets. A high-volume dissolution tester is a laboratory device that evaluates the rate at which a drug dissolves in a specified solvent under controlled conditions. Cable-free disintegration baskets are designed to test how quickly a tablet or capsule disintegrates into smaller particles in a liquid, which is crucial for evaluating drug release. For instance, in January 2022, ERWEKA GmbH, a manufacturer based in Germany, introduced the DT 9510 and ZT 730, a digital high-volume dissolution tester and a cable-free disintegration basket, respectively. The DT 9510 is the first of its kind designed for efficient and precise testing, featuring an airlift system that allows for easy motorized adjustment of the dissolution head. The ZT 730 is the first cable-free disintegration tester, incorporating air-basket technology in its unique design, which eliminates the need for cables, thereby simplifying setup and usage. Additionally, the DT 9510 includes automated disintegration time detection, utilizing sensors to automatically determine the disintegration time.

In May 2023, Verder Group, a Netherlands-based manufacturer of laboratory and analytical equipment, acquired ERWEKA GmbH for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to create synergies that would enhance innovation, improve service offerings for customers in the pharmaceutical industry, and accelerate growth through the provision of advanced, cutting-edge equipment. ERWEKA GmbH specializes in manufacturing disintegration testers and laboratory equipment specifically for the pharmaceutical sector.

A disintegration tester is a laboratory device primarily utilized in the pharmaceutical industry to assess the time required for tablets, capsules, or other solid dosage forms to break down into smaller particles when exposed to specific fluids, such as gastric or intestinal fluids, under controlled conditions. This instrument is essential for quality control and compliance with pharmacopeial standards, ensuring the drug's effectiveness and proper release of active ingredients.

The main types of disintegration testers include 2-station, 4-station, and 6-station disintegration testers, among others. A 2-station disintegration tester is a pharmaceutical testing device that features two testing stations. These testers are distributed through various channels, including direct sales, distributors, and online retail, and find applications in multiple industries, such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food.
