Market Highlights
Rising adoption of recombinant albumin-based drug delivery systems by pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies is one of the key factors driving the albumin (as excipient) market. For instance, in 2014, Novozymes Biopharma DK A/S announced that its albumin-based VELTIS technology is used by GlaxoSmithKline plc in the manufacturing of type II diabetes drug (Tanzeum and Eperzan) in Europe.
The global albumin market is expected to grow at an approximate CAGR of 5.10% by 2022-2030
Various other factors such as increasing prevalence of chronic conditions, technological advancements, emerging markets in APAC and RoW, rising awareness about albumin as excipient, and increase in usage of albumin for non-therapeutic applications are also expected to propel the growth of the market.
However, the adverse reactions associated with albumin, rising shift toward serum-free solutions, and unfavorable reimbursement policies can hamper the market growth over the forecast period.
