Global Pharmaceutical Dissolution Testing Services Market 2023-2030



Global Pharmaceutical Dissolution Testing Services Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Method (In-Vitro and In-Vivo), by Dosage Form (Capsules and Tablets), and by Dissolution Apparatus (Basket and Paddle) Forecast Period (2023-2030)

The global pharmaceutical dissolution testing services market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period. Dissolution is a well-defined test with both instrumentation and testing methodology specified in great detail by the USP [US Pharmacopeia). So, for existing formulations there is not a lot of opportunity for innovation. A considerable rise in pharmaceutical research expenditure is a key factor driving the growth of the pharmaceutical dissolution testing services. Due to increased R&D expenditure by pharmaceutical companies as well as an increase in the number of novel medications entering the preclinical stage of development, there has also been an increase in demand for pharmaceutical dissolution testing services. To meet the growing demand key players are opening or investing new facilities.

For instance, in April 2023, Roquette, a provider of pharmaceutical and nutraceutical excipients, opened its new pharmaceutical innovation center near Philadelphia. The new $25 million center will be an advanced training and collaboration hub for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturers across the globe. With a focus on optimizing patient experience with next-generation oral dosage forms, the US facility complements the cutting-edge research activities of Roquette’s existing pharma innovation centers in France and Singapore. Underpinning these training sessions and the center’s primary research projects is a suite of the latest pharmaceutical processing, testing, and manufacturing equipment.

In the same month, Millipore Sigma has invested $37.5 million to strengthen biosafety testing in Scotland. The investment includes a new 1200-m2 facility in Glasgow that will house molecular biology and sequencing services, and the company will add biosafety testing, analytical development, and viral clearance suites in its current buildings to expand testing capacity.
