糖球市場規模及預測

2024 年糖球市場規模價值 1.7028 億美元，預計到 2032 年將達到 2.797 億美元，2026 年至 2032 年的複合年成長率為 6.40%。

製藥業和新興國家日益成長的需求將顯著推動市場成長。患者友善的劑量也刺激了全球糖球市場的需求。本報告對全球糖球市場進行了全面評估，並對關鍵細分市場、趨勢、市場促進因素、競爭格局以及影響市場的關鍵因素進行了全面分析。

定義全球糖球市場

糖球，又稱中性小丸、中性芯、無糖種子、顆粒劑、糖珠或微球，是白色種子，通常由蔗糖（至少 62.5%）和澱粉製成，常採用分層糖衣結構。糖球首先用活性劑和緩釋性賦形劑包衣。小丸是藥物的起點，並與其他成分混合，例如活性藥物成分 (API)。它們可以用作緩釋性中的中性起始芯，填充到膠囊或壓成錠劑。糖球特別適合用於組合藥物，因為最常見於緩釋片。

糖球主要用作膠囊和錠劑的惰性芯材。它們為藥物提供包衣基質，藥物通常會在其上包覆一層促進釋放的聚合物。糖球的球形形狀得益於其良好的流動性，尤其是在大量灌注時。此外，將糖球與原料藥和其他輔料混合，然後壓製成片。對於球形糖錠劑，這種方法更簡單、更有效。糖球不僅用於口服製劑，也用於食品。

糖球主要分為兩種：微球和標準球。微糖球的粒徑為100-500微米，標準糖球的粒徑為0.5-2毫米。為確保原料藥的穩定分佈，應謹慎控制糖球的粒徑。國際篩組說明了美國材料與試驗協會 (ASTM) 標準篩設定的粒徑μm參數。糖球因其低易碎性而具有吸引力，這使得它們能夠承受錠劑包裝、處理和其他製造程序的嚴格要求。

全球糖球市場概覽

糖球通常是由蔗糖和澱粉製成的多孔小球。這些小球與其他錠劑成分混合，例如構成錠劑核心的活性藥物成分 (API)。由於它們最常用於緩釋片，因此混合物中還含有其他賦形劑。它們的球形使其具有理想的流動性，尤其是在大量倒出時。糖球易碎性低，這使得它們能夠承受費力的錠劑包衣、給藥和其他製造步驟。此外，將小球與活性藥物成分 (API) 和其他賦形劑混合後壓制新形成的錠劑，使用球形小球更簡單、更有效。然而，使用糖球製備藥物錠劑和膠囊需要各種技術，這會導致高昂的製造成本。預計較長的加工時間和高昂的製造成本將限制全球糖球市場的成長。

糖球主要用作錠劑的惰性核心，尤其是多顆粒緩釋性。糖球為藥物提供包衣基礎，通常用釋放調節聚合物包衣。此外，隨著製藥公司尋求提高臨床療效，多顆粒藥物輸送流程正在興起。預計未來幾年糖球仍將是固態藥物產品中的重要輔料，並可成功用作新的開發方法。糖球被視為以小丸形式給藥的各種藥物產品的關鍵成分。在研究中，糖球已證明其與其他概念相比的價值。由於糖球具有許多優勢，新的應用不斷湧現，例如壓縮包衣小丸以生產緩釋片和多單元錠劑。糖球列入美國食品藥物管理局(FDA) 的口服錠劑和錠劑惰性成分指南。它們也被列入英國和歐洲核准的腸外製劑中。

Global Sugar Sphere Market Definition

Sugar spheres are also known as neutral pellets, neutral cores, non-pareil seeds, micro granules, sugar beads, and microspheres, are white seeds, typically made up of sucrose (min. 62.5%) and starch, produced often by using a layered sugar-coating structure. Sugar spheres are first covered with the active agent and the sustained release of additives. Comprising the origin of the medication, the pellets are mixed with other ingredients of the medicine, such as active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). It can be used as a neutral starter core for slow-release formulations filled in capsules or compressed in tablets. The use of sugar spheres is highly appropriate especially for combination drugs as they are most commonly found in the sustained-release tablets, other excipients can also be used in the mixture.

The sugar spheres are mainly used as an inert core in capsules and tablet formulations. They form the base upon which a drug is coated, usually followed by a release-modifying polymer coating. Its spherical shape is perfect due to its flowability, especially when poured in bulk. Further, after mixing the pellet with APIs and other excipients, the compression of the freshly produced tablet occurs; this method is simpler and more effective with the spherical pellet. The sugar spheres are not only used in oral pharmaceutical formulation but it also used in edible food products.

Sugar spheres are mainly classified into two types i.e. Microspheres and Standard Spheres. The micro sugar spheres are available in the full range from 100 to 500 micrometers and the standard sugar spheres range from 0.5 to 2 millimeters. In order to assure the consistent distribution of APIs, the particle size of sugar spheres should be carefully handled. The international set of sieves describes μm parameters for particle size set by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standardized sieves. Sugar spheres are attractive due to their low friability, which helps them to survive rigorous tablet packaging, handling, and other manufacturing processes.

Global Sugar Sphere Market Overview

Sugar spheres are usually porous pellets consisting of sucrose and starch. The pellets are mixed with other tablet ingredients comprising the core of a tablet, such as active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Since they are most commonly contained in the sustained-release tablets, the mixture can also contain other excipients. Its sphere-shaped is ideal owing to its flowability, mostly when poured in bulk. The low friability of sugar spheres allows them to withstand the laborious tablet coating, control, and other production processes. In addition to this, compression of the newly-formed tablet comes after mixing the pellet with active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other excipients, this process is simpler and more effective with a spherical pellet. However, the preparation of pharmaceutical tablets and capsules using sugar spheres involves various technologies with high production costs. The long processing time and high production cost are expected to restrict the growth of the global sugar spheres market.

Sugar Spheres are primarily utilized as inert cores in tablets and capsules formulations, especially multiparticulate sustained-release formulations. They create the base upon that a pharmaceutical drug is coated, generally followed by release modifying polymer coating. In addition to this, multiparticulate drug delivery process is increasing as pharma companies seek to enhance clinical effectiveness. . Sugar spheres are expected to be a crucial excipient for solid medications in the coming years too with the probability of being utilized successfully as a method for new developments. Sugar spheres are considered as key ingredients in various medications administered in the pellet form. In research studies, sugar spheres have proven their worth compared to their alternative concepts. Due to the numerous benefits of sugar spheres, new applications are continuing to emerge, including compressing coated pellets to manufacture sustained-release tablets or multiple unit tablets. Sugar spheres are included in the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Inactive Ingredients Guide for oral tablets and tablets. They are also included in non-parenteral drugs approved in the UK and Europe.
