Pharmaceutical
Grade Lactose Market Highlights
The
pharmaceutical grade lactose market is projected to reach USD 183 Million by
2030 at 4.40 % CAGR during the forecast period 2022-2030.
Pharmaceutical
grade lactose has been used as an excipient for more than a century. Because of
its versatility, it is the backbone of many successful formulations. It is
produced by concentrating whey or permeate (a co-product of whey protein
concentrates production) to over-saturate the lactose, then removing, refining,
drying, and milling the lactose crystals. Pharmaceutical grade lactose market is produced to meet rigid specifications, such as
specific form and size distribution, monohydrate, crystalline, 40 mesh to 325
mesh, and a spray-dried mixture of crystalline and amorphous lactose for all
applications.

Regional
Analysis
Europe
was the largest market for pharmaceutical grade lactose in 2019. Europe is
anticipated to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to the
presence of a higher number of manufacturers and manufacturing associations in
the region. For instance, key players headquartered in Europe include BASF
Corporation, Merck KGaA, Kerry Inc., DFE Pharma, and others. The association of
excipient manufacturers setting stringent norms and good manufacturing
practices (GMP) are reasons for standardization of the manufacturing process.
The norms and GMPs set forth by the International Pharmaceutical Excipients
Council, Europe brings producers, distributors, and users of pharmaceutical
excipients together in one place to share experiences and knowledge to learn and
to lead the future of excipients. The IPEC Federation represents the five
existing regional International Pharmaceutical Excipient Councils (IPECs) -
IPEC-Americas, IPEC Europe, IPEC Japan, IPEC China, and IPEC India. EXCiPACT is a not-for-profit organization that
develops and manages a high-quality certification scheme for producers,
suppliers, and distributors of pharmaceutical excipients.
Asia-Pacific
is the second-largest market for pharmaceutical
grade lactose. According to the United Nations, across Asia, the number of
people aged 65 and above is expected to grow dramatically over the next 50
years. For the region, the population in this age group will increase by 314%
from 207 million in 2000 to 857 million in 2050. Research conducted by the
World Bank estimated that the number of projected cases of COPD in China would
be 42.5 million in 2020 and 55.2 million in 2030. According to research
published in The Lancet, the number of cases of COPD in India increased from
28.1 million in 1990 to 55.3 million in 2016, an increase in prevalence from
3.3% to 4.2%.
Americas
is the third-largest market for pharmaceutical grade lactose. This share is
owing to the high prevalence of the population suffering from chronic
obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD). During 2018, approximately 9 million adults
were diagnosed with chronic bronchitis in the US. COPD was the fourth leading
cause of death in the US. According to the Canters for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), more than 25 million Americans have asthma. The annual per-person incremental medical cost of
asthma was USD 3,266 in 2015.
The market for pharmaceutical grade lactose is growing in the Middle
East and Africa due to various reasons such as the high prevalence of COPD and the presence of
distributors and subsidiaries in the region. DFE Pharma has its distributors
located in Morocco, Algeria, South Africa, Egypt, Iran, and other countries in
the Middle East. The BASF Group has been active on the African continent for
close to 90 years. BASF employs around 1600 people in Africa. Since 2016, the
BASF African headquarters is based in Nairobi, Kenya. Armor Pharma has its
local partners situated in the region in nearly 20 countries.
