Product Definition:
Empty Gelatin Capsule is a capsule made of gelatin, usually from beef or pork. It is used to contain medication, vitamins, minerals, herbs or other types of supplements.
Soft Gelatin Capsules:
Soft gelatin capsules are made from animal collagen and are used to hold liquids or semi-solid products. They offer several advantages over traditional gelatin capsules including a higher ratio of surface area, which allows the ingredients to be absorbed more quickly; low viscosity, which reduces the possibility of gastrointestinal irritation; and lower prices than other forms.
Hard Gelatin Capsules:
Hard gelatin capsules or USP gelatin capsules are made from animal collagen and are used to store liquids. They have a high demand in the pharmaceutical industry owing to their advantages such as strength, transparency, smooth surface, uniform size & shape and controlled release of drugs. The empty gelatin capsule market is expected to witness growth over the forecast period on account of increasing consumption of dietary supplements in developed countries including U.S.
Application Insights:
Preparation of drugs was the largest application segment in the global empty gelatin capsules market, accounting for over 70% share of the global revenue in 2017. The growth can be attributed to increasing use of gelatin capsules as a packaging material for various drug formulations such as powdery drugs, liquid solutions and suspensions. Moreover, growing usage of these products during manufacturing process to provide thermal insulation is expected to drive demand over the forecast period.
The health care products segment is projected to witness significant growth owing to rising product adoption across hospitals and clinics worldwide. Gelatin capsules are used extensively in medical injections including vitamins & minerals injection and other nutritional supplements due largely their biodegradable nature which makes them an ideal packaging solution for injectables especially when compared with glass or metal containers that are used currently globally for this purpose. This will result in high demand from injectable manufacturers thereby driving industry growth over the forecast period.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global empty gelatin capsule market in 2017. The presence of a large number of pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies, especially in countries such as China, India, South Korea and Japan is anticipated to drive regional growth over the forecast period. In addition, increasing healthcare expenditure coupled with rising patient awareness levels regarding advanced medicines is expected to fuel demand for gelatin capsules over the forecast period.
The European region accounted for a significant share owing to factors such as high geriatric population along with increased consumption of drugs by individuals aged 65 years and above which are majorly prescribed oral medication that requires an empty capsule formulation process.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for nutraceuticals and dietary supplements
- Rising geriatric population
- Growing awareness about the benefits of using empty gelatin capsules
- Proliferation of online retailing channels
- Technological advancements in capsule filling equipment
