The taste masking service market is expected to reach USD 221 million by 2022 anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 6% during the forecast period 2023-2035

The oral solid dosage (OSD) market is expected to surpass USD 900 billion by 2027, representing the largest segment in the pharmaceutical industry. However, a significant concern within this sector revolves around the unpleasant taste and odor of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) used in orally administered dosage forms. This issue adversely affects patient compliance, particularly among pediatric and geriatric populations. Approximately 30% to 40% of pediatric patients and 26% of the elderly face challenges in swallowing tablets or capsules due to taste or texture issues with medications.

Addressing the bitter taste of drugs presents a substantial challenge due to the complexity of taste receptors on the tongue. Pharmaceutical entities are employing various conventional and innovative techniques, such as sweeteners, coating, microencapsulation, and hot-melt extrusion, to mask the unpleasant taste. Research indicates that implementing taste-masking technologies in oral drugs can significantly improve patient compliance from 53% to 90%.

Pharmaceutical companies are investing heavily in developing appealing and palatable drug formulations while exploring different taste masking agents and assessment procedures tailored for children and elderly patients. However, this process faces challenges, including taste variation among APIs, formulating placebo samples for taste testing, meeting regulatory guidelines, high research expenses, and managing product life cycles. Consequently, many companies are outsourcing taste masking and assessment operations to third-party service providers with expertise in this domain.

Presently, around 50 taste masking service providers offer services aligned with regulatory guidelines to aid in the development and commercialization of taste-masked formulations. Regulatory agencies like the US FDA and the European Medicines Agency have simplified the assessment of taste-masking strategies for drugs. Additionally, there has been an increase in strategic partnerships among industry players to expand taste masking capabilities, ensuring the success of drug formulations. Stakeholders are actively pursuing patient-centric dosage forms suitable for various age groups and exploring novel excipients.

Considering the ongoing efforts to improve the palatability of oral drug formulations, enhance drug adherence, and ensure patient compliance, the taste masking services market is expected to grow steadily in the forecast period.
