Empty Capsules Market: Introduction

Transparency Market Research has published a new report on the empty capsules market. According to the report, the global empty capsules market was valued at ~US$ 1.9 Bn in 2018, and is projected to expand at a CAGR of ~7% from 2019 to 2027.

In terms of application, the vitamin & dietary supplements segment held a major share of the global empty capsules market in 2018. The segment is anticipated to dominate the global empty capsules market during the forecast period. The adoption of preventive care measures among the population is estimated to drive the vitamin & dietary supplements segment during the forecast period. Increasing investments by key players in vitamin & dietary supplements and favorable trade policies for the import and export of dietary supplements are anticipated to propel the vitamin & dietary supplements segment during the forecast period.

Based on source, the porcine segment accounted for a major share of the global empty capsules market, in terms of value, in 2018. The segment is likely to expand at a moderate CAGR during the forecast period. Porcine is a widely-used source of gelatin due to the abundant availability and extended applications of this source in healthcare and nutraceutical industries. However, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical companies are switching to the use of bovine gelatin in their products, in order to expand their geographic presence to countries with ethical beliefs and restrictions that restrain the use of porcine products. This factor is a major driver of the empty capsules market. Furthermore, the demand for bovine gelatin has increased at a steady pace, due to the high protein content (compared to other gelatin derivatives) and hygienic nature of bovine-derived products as compared to chicken and porcine derivatives.
