empty capsule

Advanced Empty Capsules are used to deliver various kinds of drugs without altering their formulation. These capsules are designed so that they do not interfere with any drug formulation and ensure proper drug delivery. Growing incidence of chronic diseases and increasing geriatric population are prominent factors that drive the Advanced Empty Capsule market growth during the forecast period. Moreover, increasing research and development activity in the healthcare sector to advance therapeutics will also provide new opportunities for Advanced Empty Capsule market players worldwide. Rising demand for nutraceuticals is also anticipated to favour Advanced Empty Capsule market growth through 2031.

However, the limited availability of raw materials to manufacture empty capsules is expected to have a restraining effect on the global Advanced Empty Capsule market in the years to come. Social stigma around animal-derived raw materials is also likely to have a restraining effect on the Advanced Empty Capsule market potential over the forecast period. The COVID-19 pandemic also had an adverse impact on the Advanced Empty Capsule market growth trend, but the market is expected to make a good recovery in the post-pandemic world.
