Global Market Study on Softgel Capsules: Gelatin-based Empty Softgel Capsules to Witness Decrease in Market Share
Softgel capsules have been derived using gelatin as the major raw material, since years. Investments by manufacturers in research and development activities and advancements in technology have led to the development and usage of other sources for producing softgel capsules which are vegetarian in nature, and also provide seamless manufacturing procedures for softgel capsules. The market of health-conscious consumers seeking natural, 'green' products is booming. More than 50 percent of consumers are willing to pay a premium price for a natural product, and nearly half say that they are willing to pay more for organic products, which is expected to drive the growth of the vegetarian softgel capsules (HPMC, starch, and pullulan softgel capsules) segment.
Rising concerns and awareness among consumers towards healthcare spending have led to the demand for health supplements, globally, and prescribed medication in some countries. People are becoming aware about their body deficiencies, and opting for vitamin and nutritional supplements that are contained in an oral dosage format, which is easy to swallow and nutrients get well-absorbed in the body. Thus, the advent of softgel capsules plays a major role among infants and children as well as old people, as they face the risk of not being able to swallow the tablet properly.
