Market Overview

An excipient is a substance added to a medication alongside the active ingredient. Excipients serve various purposes, including enhancing the therapeutic properties of the active ingredient, facilitating drug absorption, reducing viscosity, improving solubility, and ensuring long-term stability by preventing denaturation and aggregation over the expected shelf life. Additionally, excipients can add bulk to solid formulations that contain small amounts of potent active ingredients; in these cases, they are often referred to as "bulking agents," "fillers," or "diluents."  Moreover, DFE Pharma is a company that supplies pharmaceutical excipients in Spain, including microcrystalline cellulose for Acfol. Excipients play a crucial role in drug delivery, bioavailability, solubility, taste masking, and more. Spain has specific requirements for the import, storage, and manufacturing of pharmaceutical products. Facilities must implement a quality system and obtain a license from the AEMPS (Spanish Agency of Medicines and Medical Devices). There are established controls and procedures for importing cosmetic, personal care, and biocide products from non-EU countries. Moreover, Spain is a leader in the export of essences and aromas, such as grapefruit, lemon, and orange oils. The country's beauty industry is a significant exporter, with sales of essential oils abroad reaching over 420 million euros.
