The proteins & amino acids segment accounted for the largest share of the nutraceutical excipients market, by functionality, in 2016.

On the basis of functionality, proteins & amino acids accounted for the largest share of the nutraceutical excipients market in 2016, followed by the omega-3 fatty acids. Excipients are necessary during the manufacturing of protein-based nutraceutical products to avoid protein aggregation. Excipients are also used in the manufacture of amino acid-based nutraceutical products; for instance, in the powder form of the amino acid supplement, they are used for the powder to dissolve easily and give it an acceptable taste.

Fillers & diluents accounted for the largest market share in 2016.

On the basis of type, fillers & diluents accounted for the largest market share in 2016. Fillers are increasingly being used by dietary supplement manufacturers, since the volume of active ingredients in some supplements is extremely low (in micrograms). In such cases, fillers help in bulking up the product. The easy availability and wide acceptance of fillers & diluents to nutraceutical product manufacturers have accelerated the growth of this segment.

Dry excipients accounted for the largest market share among all forms in 2016.

The dry form of nutraceutical excipients accounted for a larger market share, as compared to the liquid form. The popularity of the dry form can be attributed to its cost-effectiveness and convenience in multiple applications. Increase in demand for dry beverage mixes with additional nutrients, including customized mixes, and consumer preference for fortified beverages are fueling the growth of the dry segment in the nutraceutical excipients market.
