Consumer Healthcare

The consumer healthcare market is transforming. A growing and aging population, combined with an expanding middle class, is fueling global demand for over-the-counter (OTC) medicines and dietary supplements. At the same time, consumers are becoming more educated and proactive about their health. They are turning to self-care and expecting products that fit seamlessly into their lifestyles. 

Shaping the Future of Consumer Health with Roquette

With so many choices available, staying relevant means understanding and responding to evolving consumer preferences, from preferred dosage forms to label expectations. At Roquette, we help consumer health companies meet these demands and innovate with confidence. 

Why Relevance Matters in Consumer Health 

  • A growing, aging population is driving long-term demand. 
  • Self-care is reshaping consumer health: educated consumers are proactively managing wellness through OTCs and supplements. 
  • Trends shift fast: taste, convenience, plant-based, and label-friendly expectations require agility. 
  • Winners in the market will be those who delight consumers with both efficacy and experience. 

Ingredients and Expertise to Keep You Ahead 

At Roquette, we bring together innovative excipients and formulation expertise to help consumer health companies stay relevant in a fast-changing market. From plant-based formats to consumer-friendly dosage forms, our solutions make it possible to delight consumers and accelerate innovation. 

Consumers are asking for products that are both efficient and fit their lifestyle. That’s why we offer excipients that enable non-pill dosage forms such as gummies, chewables, stick packs, and softgels. With LYCAGEL® Flex hydroxypropyl pea starch-based premix, you can deliver next-generation softgel capsules with superior flexibility and performance, while PEARLITOL® SD mannitol grades provide versatile mannitol options that make chewables more appealing and easier to produce. 

As label expectations evolve, plant-based and non-GMO excipients are helping brands stand out. Our Quali-V® hard HPMC capsules deliver a trusted vegetarian format, while the ReadiLYCOAT® hydroxypropyl pea starch-based film coating system makes tablets not only easier to swallow but also more visually appealing. 

Taste also matters more than ever. Our KLEPTOSE® beta-cyclodextrin helps mask bitterness and improve mouthfeel, ensuring that consumers keep coming back to your products. 

Behind the scenes, operational efficiency is just as important. With PEARLITOL® ProTec co-processed mannitol-starch, you can stabilize sensitive formulations and reduce production challenges, while PEARLITOL® 200 GT mannitol enhances tabletability to support higher API loads or reduced tablet size, lowering total cost of ownership without compromising quality. 

From taste masking to plant-based innovation, Roquette offers the ingredients, expertise, and technical support you need to keep pace with consumer expectations and bring winning products to market.
