PREDICTIONS FOR 2025 More generally Dr Chakraborty, general manager, head - global product management, ACG Capsules explained that he expected advances in manufacturing technology and
polymer science to revolutions the capsule industry, driving the widespread adoption of cellulose- based capsules. These innovations address raw material concerns, enhance API release and stability, and off er signifi cant advantages to formulators. As the limitations of gelatine become increasingly evident, scientists are leveraging modern technologies to optimise product development and adapt to shifting market demands. The adoption of cellulose capsules
continues to grow signifi cantly. While costs may pose challenges, the industry’s focus on rapid market entry and rapid development underscores the advantages of vegetarian alternatives, which are already beginning to benefi t from economies of scale and these are likely to increase over time. Global supply chain stability and
environmental sustainability remain top priorities for tablet manufacturers. Coupled with instability in the capsule manufacturing market, it is important that such companies broaden their supply base. For the healthcare industry, securing a sustainable capsule supply has never been more critical.
