Table of Content - Empty Capsules Market

Empty capsules refer to pharmaceutical capsules that do not contain the drug substance but only serve as a vehicle for drug delivery. These are typically made from either gelatin or vegetarian materials like Hypromellose, and are available in different sizes ranging from small 000 to large capsules. Rising prevalence of various lifestyle and chronic diseases worldwide has boosted demand for pharmaceutical products and supplements. Empty capsules provide convenience and flexibility to pharmaceutical manufacturers for developing various oral solid dosage forms like capsules, tablets, and others. Developments in vegan and vegetarian capsules manufactured from natural polymers further expands the applications of empty capsules. Advancements in capsule filling technology and increasing contract manufacturing and outsourcing trend in pharmaceutical industry can drive the empty capsules market growth during the forecast period.

Market Dynamics:

Global empty capsules market growth is driven by growing elderly population susceptible to various disorders, rising healthcare expenditure in emerging nations, and increasing demand for dietary supplements and nutraceuticals. However, availability of alternative drug delivery solutions and high manufacturing costs associated with empty capsules production can hamper the market growth. Developments in vegetarian empty capsules, increasing outsourcing of pharmaceutical tasks to contract service organizations, and advancements in pharmaceutical processing equipment can offer lucrative opportunities for market players. Emerging Asian markets like India and China are expected to provide attractive prospects, owing to large consumer base and improving healthcare infrastructure in these regions. Adoption of advanced capsule filling technologies like semi-automatic and automatic machines for high production capacity can offer lucrative opportunities for market growth.
