Empty Capsules Market size was valued at US$ 2,301 million in 2023, and it is expected to witness a revenue of US$ 3,590 million in 2030, with a significant CAGR of 7.5% from 2024-2030. Empty capsules are made up of gelatin, derived from the animal protein (such as pork skin, fish bones, and animal skin and bones) and plant polysaccharides (HPMC, pullulan, starch etc.). Empty capsules contain two parts namely a lower diameter or body filled with the various drugs and sealed with higher-diameter or cap. Various prescribed and OTC drugs, herbal drugs, and nutritional substances can be dispensed by filling in the empty capsules. Apart from this, empty capsules are also used to fill semi-solid and liquid dosage forms, especially for the drugs which have poor bioavailability, critical stability, poor water solubility, and low melting points etc.

The advantages of the empty capsules are that they are low sensitive to oxygen permeability and have constant capsule dimensions. Global market is in the developed stage with the availability of both gelatin and non-gelatin based capsules. Several local and international players are manufacturing the empty capsules with technological advancements such as enteric coated and extended-release capsules, which release the drug for a long time.
