Empty Capsules Market Provides An In-Depth
Insight Of Sales And Trends Forecast To 2026
Empty Capsules Market, by Product Type (Gelatin Capsules (Porcine, Bovine,
Bone Meal), Non-Gelatin Capsules (HPMC, Pullulan)), By Application
(Antibiotics, Vitamins, Anti-Inflammatory, Anti-Anemic and Others), By End
User (Pharmaceutical Manufacturers, Nutraceutical Manufacturers and Others),
and Region - Global Trends, and Forecast till 2025
The Global Empty Capsules Market was valued at US$ 1.55 billion in 2016 and is expected to
witness a robust CAGR of 7.7% over the forecast period (2017–2025).
Shell component and composition are important factors while manufacturing empty capsules. Gelatin
or a non-gelatin polymeric material such as hypromellose, water, starch, and plasticizer is used in
manufacturing hard or soft gelatin capsule shells. Different coatings can be used on shells in order to
achieve the desired therapeutic action once the capsule is administered to the patient. For instance,
enteric coated capsules are designed to release the drug in the intestine. Moreover, sustained release
capsules are designed to release the drug ingredients slowly over a longer duration of time. Capsules
can also be manufactured to achieve local effect, while bypassing the first pass metabolism such as
rectal capsule, which are inserted into the rectal cavity. However, requirement of a capsule filling
machine is important as filling each capsule by hand is time consuming.
Market Dynamics
Manufacturers can mix active pharmaceutical ingredients according to their need and can prepare a
dosage form according to the requirement with the help of empty capsules. Capsules offer an easy way
to administer drugs as these are easy to disintegrate, easy to swallow, and have faster dissolution times
than other oral solid dosage forms. Advancement in technology such as sustained release dosage and
extended release dosage in capsules, to achieve the required effects is expected to be factor for growth
of the market. Advantages offered by capsules over tablets such as improved palatability and freedom
to administer solid as well as semisolid drugs is driving growth of the empty capsules market.
Furthermore, patients with kidney or liver problems can take the supplements through vegetarian
capsules with no side effects as excretion of additional protein (present in gelatin capsules) from the
body is difficult. These factors are expected to impact the empty capsules market over the forecast
period.

Advantages offered by capsules over conventional solid dosage forms is expected to drive growth
of the empty capsules market
Capsules offer various advantages over other solid dosage forms such as tablets. One of the important
advantage is that capsules can deliver solid as well as non-aqueous liquids and semisolid doses. Most
of the active pharmaceutical ingredients such as vitamins, herbs, drug substances are not palatable.
Capsules can play an important role in masking the taste of the drugs. Children find it hard to swallow
liquid dosage forms of vitamin supplements such as castor oil and other fish oils, and can be effectively
administered with capsules. Herbal products such as Cheyenne pepper are spicy (hot) and are hard to
swallow, which can be effectively administered through gelatin capsules. Empty capsules are available
in a variety of sizes, which can aid in dose calibration and customization according to individual needs.
Active pharmaceutical ingredients, which cannot be compressed easily into tablets, can be administered
using empty capsules.
Competitive Landscape
Some players operating in the global empty capsules market are ACG Associated Capsules Pvt. Ltd.,
Capsugel, Inc., CapsCanada Corporation, Medicaps Ltd., Qualicaps, Inc., JC Biological Technology
Co., Patheon, Inc., Roxlor LLC, and Sunil Healthcare Ltd.
Introduction of different types of materials for capsule manufacturing is supporting growth of
the empty capsules market
Gelatin has widely been used material for empty capsules and is obtained from natural sources such as
bovine gelatin and porcine gelatin. Two types of capsules can be manufactured using gelatin such as
hard gelatin capsules and soft gelatin capsules. However, these capsules have limitations owing to the
nature of gelatin as certain compounds cannot be mixed with gelatin such as highly water soluble
compounds. Introduction of other compatible materials has widened the scope of applications for these
products. For instance, introduction of non-gelatin capsules, which are synthetic (hydroxypropylmethyl
cellulose) as well as vegetarian capsules has aided in growth of the market. Vegetarian capsules such as
pullulan are made from tapioca plant and offers several advantage over gelatin capsules. Vegetarian
capsules cause lesser allergies as compared to other forms.
