Patients and consumers actively choose capsules for several reasons:
Ease of Swallowing: Capsules are generally smoother and easier to swallow than tablets, which is a critical factor for pediatric and geriatric populations.
Masking Taste and Odor: The shell effectively encapsulates unpleasant-tasting or smelling active ingredients, improving patient compliance, especially for bitter drugs or herbal extracts.
Perceived Efficacy: Many consumers perceive capsules as "faster-acting" or more "modern" and effective compared to traditional tablets.
3. Growth of the Nutraceutical and Dietary Supplements Industry
This is a massive and rapidly growing segment for hard capsule manufacturers.
Health and Wellness Trend: Consumers are increasingly proactive about their health, driving demand for vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and specialty supplements (e.g., fish oil, turmeric, herbal extracts).
