Capsules are the second most common form of dosage for the oral administration of drugs after tablets. These are largely used in the nutraceutical and pharmaceutical sectors. Reduction in the timelines of drug development under standard conditions has been the key factor driving the production of drugs delivered in the form of capsules among pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturers. In addition, this strategy enables pharmaceutical manufacturers to reduce the time required to introduce the drug in the market. The other advantage includes protection of a drug substance from various external factors, such as natural or artificial light during production, storage, administration, and use. Furthermore, capsules act as an efficient shield, which prevents the enclosed drugs from decomposition.

Based on the product, the global empty capsules market is classified into gelatin capsules and non-gelatin capsules. Gelatin capsules are further bifurcated into hard gelatin capsules (HGCs) and soft gelatin capsules (SGCs). The gelatin segment dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to maintain this trend throughout the forecast period. Gelatin has been the standard choice of raw material for the development of hard shell capsules that can efficiently hold active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Whereas, the non-gelatin capsules segment are expected to grow at the fastest pace from 2018 to 2025. An increase in demand for hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) capsules is the major contributor to the robust CAGR of the non-gelatin capsules segment in the global market. Furthermore, a major shift in consumer behavior has been observed toward the use of vegetarian capsules in the recent years.
