The enteric empty capsules market pertains to the sector of the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries that involves the production, distribution, and use of enteric-coated empty capsules.

Advancements in capsule technology, such as the development of new enteric coating materials that improve drug stability and absorption, would offer vast opportunities for the market during the forecast period. Trends influencing the market include the shift toward personalized medicine and the rise in over-the-counter (OTC) products. Overall, the market is projected to expand steadily owing to continuous innovations in capsule formulations and the increasing focus on improving patient compliance and therapeutic outcomes.
