- Cyclodextrins, cyclic oligosaccharides capable of forming inclusion complexes with a variety of molecules, are increasingly essential in pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industries due to their ability to improve solubility, stability, and controlled release of active ingredients
- The escalating demand for cyclodextrins is primarily driven by their versatile functional benefits, growing use in advanced drug delivery systems, and rising consumer preference for clean-label and functional ingredients in health-conscious and performance-oriented formulation
- North America dominated the cyclodextrins market with a share of 32.5% in 2024, due to extensive use in pharmaceuticals, food, and cosmetics industries, alongside advanced R&D capabilities and strong regulatory support for drug formulation improvements
- Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest growing region in the cyclodextrins market during the forecast period due to expanding pharmaceutical production, increased demand for processed foods, and rising investments in R&D
- Beta-cyclodextrin segment dominated the market with a market share of 67.2% in 2024 due to its widespread availability, cost-effectiveness, and versatile inclusion capabilities. Beta-cyclodextrin is extensively used due to its optimal cavity size, which effectively encapsulates a wide range of guest molecules, enhancing solubility and stability in various applications. Its well-established use in pharmaceuticals and food industries further supports strong demand
