The global Soft Capsule Technology market size is predicted to grow from US$ 7700 million in 2025 to US$ 10930 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.0% from 2025 to 2031.
Soft capsule is a film formed into a certain shape while filling it with a liquid or paste.
Soft capsules are manufactured by concurrently formulating a film and filling the film with the content. There are two manufacturing principles.
- One is a rotary method, known as the “punching method”.
- The other is a seamless method, known as the “dripping method”.
It can be used in many ways including as a simple container (not to be ingested), to be swallowed whole, or by crushing it.
Soft capsule technology is used to improve biological utilization, efficient compounds, solve food impact, improve the stability of active ingredients, cover the smell and odor, and effective product differentiation and brand promotion.
