An Incisive, In-depth Analysis on the Empty Capsules Market
This study offers a comprehensive, 360 degree analysis on the Empty Capsules market, bringing to fore insights that can help stakeholders identify the opportunities as well as challenges. It tracks the global Empty Capsules market across key regions, and offers in-depth commentary and accurate quantitative insights. The study also includes incisive competitive landscape analysis, and provides key recommendations to market players on winning imperatives and successful strategies.
Empty capsules are made from gelatin, which is derived from animal protein (pork skin, animal bones & skin and fish bones) and plant polysaccharides or their derivatives (HPMC, starch, pullulan and others). These empty capsules are made in two halves: a lower-diameter "body" that is filled with various drug dosage forms and then sealed using a higher-diameter "cap". Empty capsules are conventionally used as a dosage form for both prescription and OTC drugs, herbal products and nutrient supplements (either in powder or pellets form). In addition, empty capsules are also used for filling liquids and semi-solid dosage forms, especially for drugs that have low bioavailability, poor water solubility, critical stability, low dose/high potency and low melting points. Empty capsules offer some advantages over soft-gelatin capsules such as constant capsule dimensions and low sensitive to oxygen permeability. Also, these capsules can be manufactured in small batches and can be developed and manufactured in-house. In this report, the global empty capsules market has been segmented on the basis of product type, raw material, size of capsules, route of administration, end user and region.
