In 2023, gelatin-based (animal-based) softgel capsules continued to dominate the market, accounting for over 60% of the total share. The high dominance of this segment can be attributed to gelatin's established manufacturing processes, cost-effectiveness, and stability, which ensures easily digestible capsules. Gelatin softgel capsules are widely used across the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and dietary supplement industries for encapsulating both liquid and solid formulations. Despite concerns regarding the use of animal-based ingredients, gelatin remains a preferred choice for its reliability and performance.

By Application

In 2023, the Vitamins and Dietary Supplements segment led the market, holding 32.3% of the market share. The demand for fat-soluble vitamins like Vitamin D and Omega-3 fatty acids has contributed significantly to the dominance of this segment. Softgel capsules are preferred for this application because of their superior bioavailability, which enhances the absorption of these nutrients, making them a popular choice among consumers seeking effective supplementation. With the growing awareness of health and wellness, especially in the context of preventive healthcare, the vitamin and dietary supplements market continues to expand.
