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.

Albumin (as Excipient) Market Size was valued at USD 0.8 billion in 2022 and is projected to grow from USD 0.84 Billion in 2023 to USD 1.18 billion by 2030, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.80% during the forecast period (2023 - 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.

Regional Analysis

The Americas dominated the global market for albumin (as excipient) owing to the rising R&D investments and increasing prevalence of diabetes within the region. According to the 2015 data suggested by the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), around 30.3 million Americans were suffering from diabetes.

In 2017, it was estimated that Europe stood second in the global albumin (as excipient) market. This can be attributed to the increasing technological advancements, and rising participation of market players. For instance, in 2016, a Denmark based company, Novozymes launched its recombinant albumin business as a new independent called Albumedix.

Asia Pacific was projected to be the fastest growing region in 2017. Increasing healthcare expenditure drives the regional markets of the Asia Pacific region. As per the data suggested by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, from 2015 to 2016, the total health expenditure was USD 181 billion.

On the other hand, the Middle East and Africa held least share in the global albumin (as excipient) market due to inadequate economic development, especially within the African region.
