The empty capsules market was valued at USD 3.1 billion in 2023 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.3% from 2024 to 2032. The rising demand for dietary supplements and nutraceuticals, driven by increasing health awareness and preventive healthcare trends, has significantly boosted capsule consumption. Additionally, the pharmaceutical industry is increasingly favoring capsule formulations for their ease of swallowing, taste-masking capabilities, and potential for controlled release, leading to a preference over traditional tablet forms.
Empty capsules are pharmaceutical containers made primarily from gelatin or other polymers, designed to be filled with various substances such as powders, granules, and liquids. These capsules offer an efficient means of delivering medication, providing advantages such as masking unpleasant tastes and enabling controlled release of active ingredients. Empty capsules are available in various types, with the choice of capsule type and material often based on desired release profiles, stability, and compatibility with the encapsulated substance.
