Hard gelatin capsules are made of gelatin from animal bones and skin. These capsules are divided into two halves: a smaller diameter “body”, which is sealed with a larger diameter “cap” after filling. Hard gelatin capsules are used to encapsulate dry, powder or micro, semi-solid and liquid ingredients.

Statistics

It is estimated that by the end of 2027, the global empty capsules market will reach US$ 3,122.5 million in terms of value.

Drivers

During the forecast period, increased demand for vegan/gelatin-free capsules is expected to drive growth in the global empty capsules market. This is due to the growing preference for vegan/ gelatin-free capsules and organic products. In addition, growing application of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose capsules are expected to contribute to the growth of the global empty capsules market.

Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose is derived from plant cellulose. Contains no preservatives, gelatin, wheat, gluten, animal by-products or starch. For materials with a more semi-solid or gel composition, cellulose is the preferred capsule matrix. In 2014, North America occupied a dominant position in the global empty capsule market, contributing about 40.3 percent, followed by Asia Pacific.

Restraints

Gelatin capsules can cause certain allergy-like symptoms in patients allergic to bovine or bovine gelatin products. This in turn is expected to hamper market growth. Additionally, the high cost of vegetarian capsules is also expected to hamper the growth of the global empty capsules market. The high cost of vegetarian capsules is attributed to high manufacturing and raw material costs.

Opportunities

Market participants should focus on correcting the imbalance between supply and demand caused by insufficient supply of raw materials and strong demand for empty capsules. This can be achieved through strategic cooperation between manufacturers and suppliers of raw materials.

Crosslinking is a major problem in capsule production. The crosslinking reaction affects the solubility of the cross-linked polymer and the opening time of the capsule. This can be overcome by using high-quality pharmaceutical excipients and active ingredients that are free from aldehyde contamination. The oral drug delivery segment of the global empty capsule market in 2019 is valued at US $ 1.5634 billion, and is expected to reach US $ 2,728.5 billion by 2027, with a CAGR of 7.2 percent over the forecast period.

Market Trends

Rising number of clinical trials are expected to lead to increased demand for empty capsules. According to data from ClinicalTrials.gov, clinical trials were performed 32,524 times in the U.S. in 2019, compared to 30,978 times in 2018.

HPMC hard shell capsules are emerging as an alternative to traditional gelatin capsules for oral administration of pharmaceutical formulations containing gelatin when there is physical incompatibility.

Manufacturers are focusing on developing next-generation capsules, such as HPMC polymer capsules (Capsugel, Vcaps Plus) that do not require a secondary gelling agent through the thermal gel process.
