The rising focus on sports nutrition and the technological advancements taking place in niche market areas also offers significant growth opportunities for players operating in this space. On the other hand, the increasing regulatory stringency regarding the approval of drugs and excipients along with the cost and time-intensive drug development process; the high cost associated with the microencapsulation process and the unfavorable drug price control policies are expected to restrain the growth of this market during the forecast period. Additionally, increasing safety & quality concerns, increasing penetration of counterfeit drugs, changing trade policies among countries and alcohol dose-dumping of sustained-release dosages pose significant challenges to the growth of this market.

The cellulose polymers segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Based on the polymers used for manufacture of tablet coatings, the cellulosic polymers segment accounted for the largest share of the global tablet coatings market in 2019. The large share of this segment can be attributed to the high adoption of these polymers owing to the ability to form coatings generally having acceptable properties such as good film strength, aqueous solubility, and compressibility, less sensitivity to wet granulation, flowability, and better tableting at a low price. Factors such as the the global regulatory acceptance and ready availability from a number of vendors are also the adoption of these polymers for coating applications.

The non-functional non-modifying coatings segment is expected to account for the largest share of the tablet coatings market

Based on functionality, the non-functional non-modifying coatings segment commanded the largest share in 2019. The large share of this segment can be attributed to high use of these coatings for the manufacture of immediate-release dosage forms. Also, these coats offer the advantages of protection against light and moisture, easy identification, improved swallowability, taste masking, mechanical strength, and improved safety and ease of handling. This is further supporting their adoption in the manufacture of oral solid dosages. Furthermore, the growing demand for innovative drug delivery formulations and increasing focus on nutraceuticals and dietary supplements using immediate-release coatings will continue to drive market growth.

The film-coated tablets segment is expected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period

The tablet coatings market is segmented into film-coated, sugar-coated, gelatin-coated, enteric-coated tablets and other tablet coatings based on type. In 2019, the film-coated segment dominated the tablet coatings market, by type, and is also expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The demand for film-coated tablets is high in the pharmaceutical industry due to the benefits of shorter processing times, fairly thin coats obtained as compared to other coating type, high resistance to mechanical influences, and addition of functional properties to the tablets. These coatings also minimize the risk of medication errors leveraging pigments/ colors for identification and also improves patient compliance through aesthetic appeal which further support market growth.
