Hard Gelatin Capsules Market
Hard Gelatin Capsules Market

The global hard gelatin capsules market is poised for substantial growth, with a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4% from 2022 to 2032. Recent studies indicate a strong demand for hard gelatin capsules, particularly in the oral administration segment, which held a commanding market share of approximately 88.5% in 2021.

The growth of the hard gelatin capsules market is driven by their widespread use in pharmaceutical and dietary supplement applications due to their effective delivery and consumer preference for oral medication. The oral administration segment continues to dominate, reflecting the efficiency and convenience that hard gelatin capsules offer.

As the market expands, innovations in capsule technology and increasing applications across various therapeutic areas are expected to further boost market growth and development.

Further, hard gelatin capsules allow for combination filling, unlike soft gels, allowing for the encapsulation of pharmaceuticals in the form of pellets, micro tablets, and beads in addition to the liquid formulation. This not only permits numerous incompatible pharmaceuticals to be combined in a single capsule but also results in a formulation that is far more appealing to consumers.

Increasing prevalence of non-communicable diseases such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and lung disorders has surged the demand for nutraceuticals. Hence, key players have established their positions in the market by investing more in research and having a better distribution system.

Market Competition

Market expansion will be hampered by increasing vendor competition. With the presence of numerous brands and regional and local vendors, the market is expected to be fragmented. Furthermore, suppliers in the hard gelatin capsules industry are expanding their offerings to include mobile healthcare, medical educators, primary care extenders, and patient advocates.

During the focused period, increased competition is expected to have a negative impact on the worldwide emergency medical service market growth. The hard gelatin capsules industry is fragmented, and providers are competing by using both organic and inorganic growth techniques.
