Global Hard Capsules Competitive Landscape Professional Research Report 2025
Research Summary
Hard capsules are solid dosage forms used in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries to encapsulate and administer various medications, dietary supplements, or active ingredients. Comprising two cylindrical or oval-shaped halves (cap and body), hard capsules are typically made from materials such as gelatin or vegetarian alternatives like hypromellose. These capsules offer a convenient and easily digestible means of delivering medicines or supplements orally. They are filled with powdered, granular, or liquid formulations, providing a protective shell that helps mask the taste of the enclosed substances and facilitates precise dosage. The capsules may be designed for immediate release, delayed release, or sustained release of the contained contents, depending on the specific requirements of the medication. The use of hard capsules is widespread due to their versatility, ease of manufacturing, and patient-friendly characteristics.
