Industry Insights
The global Empty Capsules Market was estimated at USD 1.34 billion in 2015 and is expected to grow at a significant
CAGR over the forecast period. The major factors impelling the market growth are increasing adoption rate of capsules
when compared to tablets, rising demand of empty capsules in cosmeceutical, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical
industries and growing geriatric population. Capsule- based formulations are more popular among the aged population,
owing to benefits like faster dissolution time as compared to the other oral dosage forms, capsules make swallowing
easier for patients, moreover, the gastrointestinal irritation caused by capsules is comparatively less than other dosage
forms. These aforementioned benefits associated with capsules are likely to boost the market growth over the forecast
period.
However, the religious and cultural issues arising due to use of animal derivatives, such as bovine and porcine gelatin
capsules and growing prices of raw materials, are expected to hinder the market growth over the forecast period.
