Gelatin has been a widely used material for medication capsules for many years and remains the most common choice in capsule production. It offers various health benefits when consumed, such as promoting digestive health, supporting joint function, and reducing joint pain. Some studies suggest it positively impacts sleep, mood, and cognitive functions. Capsule manufacturers have the flexibility to choose from different types of gelatin derived from bovine or porcine sources for their capsules. Depending on the desired characteristics of the capsules, some manufacturers may opt for a combination of both porcine and bovine gelatin. Bovine bone gelatin provides firmness to the capsules, while porcine gelatin offers plasticity and clarity. The selection of specific gelatin types allows manufacturers to tailor the capsules' properties to meet the requirements of the fill, formulation, and target market group.

There are majorly two types of capsules on the market cater to the increasing demand for vegan and vegetarian alternatives. The first type is HPMC capsules made from plant-based cellulose. The second type is Pullulan capsules, derived from tapioca roots, offering another animal-free option. HPMC and Pullulan capsules are gaining popularity as they appeal to individuals following plant-based diets. With the rising demand for cruelty-free and sustainable products, these capsules have become increasingly sought after for various reasons.

Recent Developments in Animal Free Soft Gelatin Capsules Market:

  • In May 2022- Windzor Pharma Ltd introduced Solferol Softgel capsules, an Rx Vitamin D3 product, to the Irish market. It is one of the more affordable Solferol Softgel Vitamin D3 capsules. 
  • In November 2021- Roquette Pharmaceuticals introduced a vegetarian Softgel containing pea-starch technology suitable for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications.

The rapidly growing pharmaceutical industry is expected to be a key driver for the sales of the animal-free soft gelatin capsules market during the forecast period. As pharmaceutical companies continue to develop and market a wide range of supplements, and medications, the demand for innovative and inclusive delivery systems, such as vegan and vegetarian capsules, is increasing. The preference for animal-free alternatives in capsules ensures broader market acceptance, meeting the needs of various consumer segments, including vegans, vegetarians, and those with dietary restrictions related to animal products. For instance, in March 2022, the National Investment Promotion & Facilitation Agency of India published a research report titled "Pharmaceutical Industry in India: Invest in Pharma Sector." According to the report, the pharma industry in India ranks third in the world based on production by volume and holds the 14th position globally based on value. Furthermore, the development of formulations suitable for animal-free soft gelatin capsules might present more intricate and time-consuming challenges than traditional gelatin-based capsules. Researchers and manufacturers must explore and test a wide range of plant-based materials to ensure they achieve soft gelatin capsules' desired properties and functionality. This increased complexity in formulation development may lead to higher research and development costs, potentially affecting the affordability and accessibility of animal-free alternatives and further hindering the market growth. Moreover, the emerging demand for plant-based alternatives is expected to grow significantly in the animal-free soft gelatin capsule market. As more consumers adopt plant-based diets and seek cruelty-free and sustainable products, the popularity of capsules made from materials like HPMC (Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose) and Pullulan is rising. These vegan and vegetarian capsule options offer a viable solution for individuals looking for animal-free alternatives to traditional gelatin capsules, and this expanding trend is likely to drive the market's growth.
