The Global Empty Capsules Market Size is Anticipated to Exceed USD 7.53 Billion by 2033, Growing at a CAGR of 9.04% from 2023 to 2033.

Market Overview

Capsules are solid oral pharmaceutical dosage forms that contain one or more medications, or a combination of drugs, designed to treat a specific illness or condition in the human body. Gelatin-based and non-gelatin-based empty capsules are two distinct categories. Pharmaceutical companies make their medications and package them in empty capsules for distribution. Pullulan, starch, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, and other non-gelatinous materials are typically used to make capsule shells. The empty capsules are available in a range of colors, shapes, and forms. Generally tasteless, simpler to chew, and rapidly absorbed are the benefits of capsules. However, compared to tablets, they are more vulnerable to light, heat, and moisture. Additionally, there are hard gelatin capsules composed of pure water and gelatin that are readily available. The majority of customers prefer the capsules because they dissolve quickly, resulting in quicker absorption rates, and because the tasteless and odorless gelatin covering makes the capsules comfortable to swallow. The market is expanding as a result of a rising number of chronic illnesses such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and gastrointestinal disorders. The pharmaceutical industry is receiving empty capsules from growing markets at a reduced cost, which is contributing to the market's expansion.
