Capsule Filling Machines Market to be Propelled by High Demand for Pharmaceutical Contract Manufacturing

Capsule filling machines are automated equipment used to fill capsules with powders, pellets, tablets, or liquids in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries. These machines offer high production speed and volume with minimal room for errors. They are commonly used to manufacture capsules for over-the-counter medications, prescription drugs, dietary & weight-loss supplements, probiotic supplements, and more. The pharmaceutical contract manufacturing segment utilizes capsule filling machines on a large scale to rapidly produce and package capsules for various contract manufacturing activities.

The global Capsule Filling Machines Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 1.92 billion in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.7% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market Dynamics:
The growth of the pharmaceutical contract manufacturing industry is expected to be a major driver for the capsule filling machines market over the forecast period. Pharmaceutical companies are increasingly outsourcing non-core activities like product manufacturing to contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs) that have specialized facilities and trained personnel to rapidly produce pharmaceutical products. This has significantly increased demand for end-to-end capsule manufacturing solutions including capsule filling machines at CMO sites worldwide. Additionally, the rising consumption of nutraceuticals and dietary supplements globally is propelling demand for capsule-based product forms. This is fueling investments in capsule filling production lines and equipment like capsule filling machines by nutraceutical manufacturers, thereby supporting market growth.

Segment Analysis
The global capsule filling machines market is dominated by the soft gelatin capsule filling machines segment, which accounts for over 60% market share. Soft gelatin capsule filling machines are preferred for capsules containing liquids, creams, and gels as soft gels offer better absorption and higher loading capacity compared to hard gelatin capsules. The segment is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period owing to the extensive use of soft gelatin capsules in dietary supplements and medicinal drugs.
