What is Empty Capsule?
An empty capsule is a hollow pharmaceutical dosage form used to fill medicines, supplements, and herbal ingredients in powder, granule, or liquid form. These capsules are commonly made from gelatin or plant-based materials such as HPMC, making them suitable for both pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications. Empty capsules are preferred for their ease of swallowing, accurate dosage delivery, faster dissolution, and ability to mask unpleasant tastes or odors. They are widely used by pharmaceutical companies, contract manufacturers, and dietary supplement brands across global healthcare markets.
Is Empty Capsule Manufacturing Profitable?
Yes, empty capsule manufacturing is a profitable business due to rising demand from pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and wellness industries. Consistent consumption of medicines, growth in dietary supplements, and increasing preference for vegetarian capsules support stable revenues. Efficient production, quality compliance, and long-term supply contracts help manufacturers achieve healthy margins and sustainable returns.
