Global Plant Based Excipients Market to Grow with a CAGR of 4.21% through 2030
Global Plant Based Excipients Market to be driven by
growing interest in plan based excipients as an alternative to traditional
excipients in pharmaceuticals during the forecast period, 2026-2030.
According to TechSci Research report, “Plant Based
Excipients Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and
Forecast, 2030F”, Global Plant Based Excipients Market stood at USD 2.14
billion in 2024 and is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 4.21% in the forecast
period through 2030. Global Plant Based Excipients market is driven by the
growing demand for natural and sustainable products, an increasing focus on
patient safety, advancements in technology, regulatory support, and
cost-effectiveness. Additionally, increasing research and development
activities for the development of plant-based excipients that can be used to
improve the solubility, stability, and bioavailability of drugs is expected to
support the growth of global plant based excipients market in the coming years.
Plant based excipients such as alginate, cellulose, starch, proteins, and gums
have shown promise in various applications in the pharmaceutical industry.
Plant based excipients are a group of natural ingredients
used in pharmaceutical formulations to help stabilize, disseminate, and deliver
the active ingredients while ensuring proper dosage and efficacy. One of the
major advantages of plant based excipients is their low toxicity and high
biocompatibility, which makes them an ideal alternative to synthetic
excipients. Moreover, they offer a high degree of formulation flexibility,
which allows manufacturers to tailor the products according to the desired dosage
form, release profile, and site-specific delivery. Global plant based
excipients market has been driven by several factors, including the growing
demand for natural and eco-friendly products, the increasing prevalence of
chronic diseases, and the expanding nutraceutical and dietary supplements
industry.
The use of plant based excipients presents a lot of
challenges in terms of cost, regulatory approvals, acceptance, scalability,
among others. Scalability is a major concern hampering the growth of global
plant based excipients market. While natural sources like corn, potatoes, and
sugar cane are renewable, there may not be enough of these resources to meet
the increasing demand for plant based excipients. Moreover, the quality of
plant based excipients can vary depending on the source and conditions of cultivation,
which can impact their efficacy and consistency. Plant based excipients need to
meet strict regulatory requirements before they can be used in pharmaceuticals.
The regulatory approval process can be time-consuming and expensive, making it
difficult for smaller companies to develop and launch new plant based
excipients, thereby slowing down the growth of global plant based excipients
market. Also, the cost of plant based excipients can be higher than traditional
excipients, which may limit their use in some applications. Furthermore, plant
based excipients may not be compatible with all types of active pharmaceutical
ingredients (APIs). This can limit their use in certain drug formulations and
may require additional development and testing to ensure compatibility.

Global Plant Based Excipients Market is segmented into
type, application, regional distribution and company.
Based on Application, the Film Forming & Coating Agents
category is projected to exhibit the fastest growth in the Global Plant-Based
Excipients Market. This growth is largely fueled by the increasing demand for
natural and sustainable alternatives in pharmaceutical coatings and
encapsulations. Film-forming and coating agents play a critical role in
improving the stability, palatability, appearance, and controlled release of
active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Plant-based excipients, particularly
polysaccharides like cellulose derivatives (e.g., hydroxypropyl
methylcellulose), starches, and gums (e.g., guar gum, xanthan gum), are
increasingly replacing synthetic and animal-derived excipients due to their
favorable safety and compatibility with clean-label initiatives. The adoption
of plant-based film formers is accelerating as manufacturers respond to
regulatory and consumer pressure to eliminate synthetic dyes, titanium dioxide,
and animal gelatin from pharmaceutical products. For instance, the European
Union’s regulation (EU) 2022/63, which restricts the use of titanium dioxide in
foods and medicines, has driven pharmaceutical formulators to seek
plant-derived alternatives for coating tablets and capsules.
Based on the Region, Asia Pacific shows the fastest growth
in the Global Plant-Based Excipients Market. This rapid expansion is driven by
several converging factors, including increasing pharmaceutical and
nutraceutical production, growing health awareness, rising demand for natural
and sustainable ingredients, and supportive government policies favoring the
use of plant-derived components. Emerging economies such as China, India,
Indonesia, and Vietnam are witnessing significant growth in their pharmaceutical
and dietary supplement industries. According to the India Brand Equity
Foundation (IBEF), the Indian pharmaceutical industry is projected to reach USD
130 billion by 2030, with the country ranking as one of the top exporters of
generic drugs globally. This growing industry increasingly favors natural
excipients due to consumer preferences shifting toward clean-label and
plant-based ingredients. Similarly, China’s pharmaceutical manufacturing
capabilities are expanding, with companies seeking sustainable solutions to
align with environmental regulations and export standards.

“The Market is anticipated to grow significantly over the coming years,
driven by the rising demand for naturally derived, sustainable, and
biocompatible pharmaceutical ingredients. As the pharmaceutical and
nutraceutical industries increasingly shift toward cleaner and more transparent
formulations, plant-based excipients are gaining prominence for their
non-toxic, biodegradable, and allergen-free profiles. Consumers and
manufacturers alike are showing a growing preference for plant-derived substances
in response to increasing health consciousness, regulatory pressure for
clean-label ingredients, and the global push toward greener alternatives.
Excipients such as starches, cellulose derivatives, gums, pectins, and
plant-based sugars are widely used in drug formulations as binders, fillers,
disintegrants, and stabilizers due to their functional versatility and
biocompatibility. The use of plant-based excipients in traditional Chinese
medicine has been well-established. In recent years, there has been an increasing
interest in plant-based excipients for use in modern pharmaceutical products. ”
