Global Empty Capsules Market Outlook

The global empty capsules market size stood at USD 1.98 billion in 2020 and is projected to reach USD 2.97 billion by 2026, growing at CAGR 7% in the forecast period of 2021-2026, driven by the rising demand for safer methods of drug delivery.

 

North America is Expected to Lead the Market of Empty Capsules

North America is predicted to hold the major share of the empty capsules market during the forecast period, followed by Europe. This can be ascribed to the significant presence of a number of pharmaceutical giants with large capacities utilizing these capsules, along with the large presence of major capsule manufacturers with large production capacities in these regions. The rising emphasis on superior pharmaceutical products and generics by doctors and patients also increased the demand for empty capsules. As the pharmaceutical manufacturing sector in the Asia-Pacific region expands, several factors are expected to drive the impressive growth of empty capsules in the region. The rising patient pool in these regions also drives the market growth.

 

Industry Definition and Segmentation

Empty capsules are stable shells that encapsulate medicines. They are administered in a variety of forms as dosage. Of these, the demand for vegetable/non-gelatine capsules is expected to increase in the coming years. This could be attributed to the rising preference among consumers for natural or non-animal origin capsules.

Based on type, the industry for empty capsules is segmented into:

  • Gelatine capsules
  • Non-gelatine capsules

Gelatin capsules are further divided on the basis of type into hard and soft gelatine.

On the basis of raw materials used in empty capsules, the industry is segmented into:

  • Porcine
  • Bovine
  • Bone
  • Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC)
  • Starch material
  • Others

On the basis of functionality, the industry is segmented into:

  • Immediate-Release Capsules
  • Sustained-Release Capsules
  • Delayed-Release Capsules

On the basis of application, the industry is segmented into:

  • Antibiotic and Antibacterial Drugs

The regional markets for the empty capsules include North America, Europe, the Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa.

 

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.
