The Empty Capsule Market Overview And Analysis by Raw Materials (bovine, porcine, non-gelatin), Physical Characteristics (hard capsules, soft capsules) Certification (halal certification, non-halal certification) - forecast till 2032

Market Research Future (MRFR) expects the empty capsule market to garner an approximate growth rate of 7.8 % between 2023 and 2032 (appraisal period). We will provide COVID-19 impact analysis with the report, along with all the extensive key developments in the market post the coronavirus disease outbreak.

Top Boosters and Main Challenges

Since the COVID-19 outbreak and the rising attempt to find an effective treatment, various therapeutic measures are being taken around the world. One of the popular treatment options to control the pandemic is hydroxychloroquine, while the second option remains the consumption of antiviral drugs that help manage HIV. These treatment approaches have managed to boost the sale of advanced antimalarial and antivirals drugs, thereby enhancing the empty capsule market size. Since capsules disintegrate fast and allows quicker absorption, while the gelatin types are odorless and tasteless, their demand has grown even more since the SARS-CoV-2. Although lockdown has been imposed to control the spread of the novel coronavirus, empty capsules are still the main way of addressing the virus, therefore their demand has risen dramatically in the nutraceutical, cosmeceutical and pharmaceutical industries.

Technological innovations in the empty capsules market has resulted in an expanded functionality range for patients using capsules-based formulations. Capsule delivery has been observing a series of technological developments, in terms of better quality as well as patient comfort. Some technology-based innovations in recent years include enhancement of capsule shells, capsule-sealing techniques, capsule systems and fill material to facilitate altered drug release and encapsulation of various materials.

Another significant development in the market has been the capsule-in-capsule technology that helps coat the active ingredients that are gastric-sensitive. This enables reduced use of excipients in formulation, higher upper gastrointestinal safety, better pharmacokinetic efficiency, and enhanced product advancement. The emerging trend of plant-based capsules in the global market can also considerably impel the growth in the upcoming years. For instance, in August 2020, Catalent expanded its manufacturing units that produce the new softgel encapsulation ranges, with respect to CosmoPod twist-off capsule and Vegicaps plant-based capsule technologies. This move serves the purpose of catering to more consumers that are interested in plant-based, all-natural minerals and vitamins products.
