Shell component and composition are important factors while manufacturing empty capsules. Gelatin or a non-gelatin polymeric material such as hypromellose, water, starch, and plasticizer is used in manufacturing hard or soft gelatin capsule shells. Different coatings can be used on shells in order to achieve the desired therapeutic action once the capsule is administered to the patient. For instance, enteric coated capsules are designed to release the drug in the intestine. Moreover, sustained release capsules are designed to release the drug ingredients slowly over a longer duration of time. Capsules can also be manufactured to achieve local effect, while bypassing the first pass metabolism such as rectal capsule, which are inserted into the rectal cavity. However, requirement of a capsule filling machine is important as filling each capsule by hand is time consuming.
Market Dynamics
Manufacturers can mix active pharmaceutical ingredients according to their need and can prepare a dosage form according to the requirement with the help of empty capsules. Capsules offer an easy way to administer drugs as these are easy to disintegrate, easy to swallow, and have faster dissolution times than other oral solid dosage forms. Advancement in technology such as sustained release dosage and extended release dosage in capsules, to achieve the required effects is expected to be factor for growth of the market. Advantages offered by capsules over tablets such as improved palatability and freedom to administer solid as well as semisolid drugs is driving growth of the empty capsules market. Furthermore, patients with kidney or liver problems can take the supplements through vegetarian capsules with no side effects as excretion of additional protein (present in gelatin capsules) from the body is difficult. These factors are expected to impact the empty capsules market over the forecast period.
