Technological Developments in the Industry Boosts the Market Growth for Empty Capsules
The growing popularity of capsules over other drug delivery forms has been the major driver of the market. Another pivotal driver is an increase in the strategic collaborations between empty capsule suppliers and gelatine manufacturers. The growing adoption of capsules among the increasing geriatric population is driving the market growth. Further, rapid developments in capsule delivery technologies are set to supplement the market growth. However, ethical concerns, fluctuations in price regarding gelatin, and strict regulations in the pharmaceutical industry are expected to decelerate the market growth.
Capsule delivery has experienced major technological developments over the years. These developments include improvement of capsule shells, capsule-sealing techniques, enhancing fill material, capsule systems to achieve modified drug release, and the encapsulation of different materials. These advancements have propelled the market growth of empty capsules in recent years. Development of technologies such as capsule-in-capsule to protect gastric-sensitive active ingredients allows for the improvement of gastrointestinal safety for patients who couldn’t receive capsule medication. An overall improved product development helped achieve significant penetration into wider populations. The Covid-19 pandemic is expected to be a major driver for this market for the forecast period.
However, ethical concerns, fluctuations in price regarding gelatine, and strict regulations in the pharmaceutical industry are expected to decelerate the market growth.
