Market Overview:
The global hard empty non-gelatin capsule market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for hard empty non-gelatin capsules from the pharmaceutical and healthcare products industries. In addition, the growing awareness about the benefits of using hard empty non-gelatin capsules is also contributing to the growth of this market. Based on type, stomach-soluble capsules are expected to account for a major share of the global hard empty non-gelatin capsule market during the forecast period. This can be attributed to their ability to dissolve quickly in gastric juices, which makes them ideal for delivering drugs that need quick absorption into systemic circulation.
Product Definition:
A hard, empty non-gelatin capsule is a capsule made from a hard plastic or other material that does not dissolve in the stomach. These capsules are used to hold medications and supplements. The importance of these capsules is that they protect the medication or supplement from being destroyed by the stomach acid and allow it to be released in the small intestine where it can be absorbed into the bloodstream.
Stomach-soluble Capsules:
Stomach-soluble capsules are used to treat a wide range of stomach disorders such as gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, and gastroesophageal reflux. Stomach-soluble capsules can also be used for treatment of conditions associated with the upper gastrointestinal tract including erosions and mucositis due to radiation therapy or chemotherapy.
Enterosoluble Vacant Capsules:
Enterosoluble vacant capsules (EVC) is a hard-filled non-gelatin capsule developed to deliver the active ingredient in the form of a liquid. It can be used as an alternative to enteric coated tablets and capsules, especially for patients who are unable or unwilling to take gelatin-based products. Enterosoluble vacant capsules have several advantages over other dosage forms including high patient compliance, easy handling & storage, and low risk of accidental ingestion among others.
Application Insights:
The pharmaceutical segment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2016 and is projected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The growing demand for these capsules as a packaging material for drugs, tablets, and other medicines is expected to drive their demand in this application segment.
The healthcare products segment also holds significant potential owing to increasing investments by companies such as Pfizer & Johnson & Johnson in R&D activities related to new drug formulations and delivery systems. This trend has led these companies towards developing enteric coated hard empty capsules that protect drugs from degradation within the gastrointestinal tract of patients.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in terms of revenue share in 2017. The region is expected to maintain its position during the forecast period due to high product demand from various end-use industries, such as pharmaceutical and healthcare products. High disposable income of consumers and rapid technological advancements are also contributing toward regional growth.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness lucrative growth over the forecast period owing to factors such as increasing geriatric population prone to digestive disorders, rising awareness about nutritional diet among people along with growing health consciousness, and improving economic conditions leading towards increased spending on healthcare products & services. These factors are likely to contribute towards an increase in demand for empty hard gelatin capsules over the next eight years.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for hard capsules as a dosage form in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries
- Rising prevalence of chronic diseases, which is expected to drive the demand for therapeutics that require hard capsules as a dosage form
- Technological advancements in capsule filling and sealing technologies that are making the manufacturing process of hard capsules more efficient
- Growing preference for convenience and portability over other dosage forms, such as tablets and powders
- Rising consumer awareness about the benefits of using hard empty non-gelatin capsules
