(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Key market opportunities include growth driven by the demand for better-tasting medications, focus on patient compliance, and advances in drug delivery systems. Expanding applications in personalized medicines and pediatric/geriatric-friendly formulations also present significant potential, supported by innovations like taste modulation technologies.

Dublin, May 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Taste Masking and Taste Assessment Services and Technologies Market Report 2026" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets's offering.

The global taste masking and taste assessment services and technologies market is set to experience robust growth over the next decade. Projections indicate that the market, valued at $93.9 billion in 2025, will expand to $101 billion in 2026, driven by a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. Notable growth factors in recent years include the proliferation of bitter APIs, a heightened focus on improving patient compliance, the expansion of oral solid dosage forms, and advancements in pediatric drug formulations. Additional momentum is gained through the widespread adoption of innovative taste masking technologies.

Looking ahead, the market is on track to reach $135.49 billion by 2030, maintaining a steady CAGR of 7.6%. This anticipated growth is fueled by increased investment in sophisticated drug delivery systems, rising demand for bespoke medicines, and the expansion of contract formulation services. Enhanced regulatory scrutiny on patient acceptability and the growing utilization of predictive taste assessment tools are also significant contributors. Key trends include wider adoption of advanced formulation techniques, greater use of in vitro taste assessment technologies, and growing demand for pediatric and geriatric friendly dosage forms. The market is also seeing an expansion in microencapsulation applications and an intensified focus on patient-centric drug development.

Effective taste masking significantly enhances patient compliance, supporting market expansion. For instance, challenges often arise among pediatric and geriatric populations who struggle with the oral intake of unpleasant-tasting medicines. Taste masking solutions provide viable pathways to addressing this issue. A study by Frontiers Media SA in April 2025 highlighted that bitter taste is a primary reason for medication refusal among children, with substantial statistics reported from Sub-Saharan Africa and the United States.

Leading market players are committed to developing advanced taste modulation technologies to amplify sweetness perception, improve mouthfeel, and eliminate undesirable off-notes in low-sugar formulations. In May 2023, Kerry Group introduced Tastesense Advanced, using plant-based materials to deliver sugar-like sweetness while significantly reducing sugar content in food and beverages without compromising taste. This reflects a broader industry trend towards sustainability and enhanced taste experiences.

Recent strategic acquisitions underscore the market's dynamic nature. Roquette Freres, for example, acquired IFF Pharma Solutions in March 2024 to deepen its pharmaceutical sector presence, broadening its excipient portfolio and formulation capabilities.

The market's leading participants include Roquette Freres SA, Kerry Group plc, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., and numerous others, with North America dominating as the largest regional market in 2025. Key regions covered are Asia-Pacific, Western and Eastern Europe, South America, and the Middle East & Africa, with particular country coverage including the USA, UK, China, and Germany.
