Tablet Hardness Testers Market: Overview

• Tablet hardness testing is a quality control test performed to determine ability of a tablet to withstand pressure during transport or shipping. Tablet hardness is the crushing strength of the tablet i.e., the force required to breakdown a tablet. It is measured in units such as kg/cm2, Newton, pound (lb.), kilopound (kp), and Strong-Cobb (SC).
• Portable tablet hardness testers are highly popular owing to recharge ability, compact nature, and ease of operation. Demand for automatic tablet hardness testers is expected to increase over the next few years owing to reduced efforts and increased accuracy of results.
• These models are able to store and print the results, which assures authenticity and reliability of the tablet manufacturing process. Some of these technologically advanced instruments offer measurement of tablet thickness, size, shape, diameter, and width, along with hardness.

Tablet Hardness Testers Market: Drivers

• Demand for automatic tablet hardness testers is rising due to reduced human resources and increase in the accuracy of outcomes. Automatic tablet hardness testers can store and print the results, which assures the reliability of the tablet manufacturing process.
• Surge in incidence of chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and other autoimmune diseases owing to factors such as antimicrobial resistance, alcohol consumption, adoption of unhealthy and sedentary lifestyles, and smoking are the key factors driving the demand for drugs in tablet form, which, in turn, propels the global tablet hardness tester market
• According to the National Diabetes Statistic Report 2017 published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over 100 million people in the U.S. were living with diabetes or prediabetes. According to the WHO, around 1.6 million deaths were directly caused by diabetes globally in 2016. Rise in prevalence of hypertension and diabetes is the other key factor increasing demand for tablets, which in turn boosts the growth of the global tablet hardness tester market.
