Empty Capsules Market Continues To Expand As Capscanada Corporation Introduces A New Liquid-Filled Hard Capsule Manufacturing Service In North America

 

Empty Capsules Market

Empty Capsule is a term given to small capsules in the form of hard gel or powder that is used for many applications. These types of empty capsules are very popular with the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. One of the most common uses of empty capsules is for the manufacturing of hard capsules. As mentioned above, they are manufactured from a thermosetting polymer, which is a gel-like substance. When it comes to regional footprint, North America is gaining a significant grip in the empty capsules market since there is high consumer awareness pertaining to nutraceutical products. Besides, there is a high prevalence of obesity and arthritis, which can potentially impact growth of the regional market. On the contrary, Asia Pacific remains one of the emerging regions in the empty capsules market due to favorable government initiatives related to the development of healthcare infrastructure.

The adoption of empty capsules is directly proportional to the rapidly rising geriatric population. Since the elderly population is highly vulnerable to different types of diseases, the adoption of medications is significantly high. As per the World Health Organization (WHO), by 2050, the global population aged 65 years and above is expected to reach around 2 billion increasing from 900 million in 2015. Such rapid growth in the elderly population could potentially augment growth of the empty capsules market in the near future.

 In hard capsule manufacturing, this gel substance gets pressed into various shapes and sizes using different methods. The method that is used depends on various factors such as the properties of the substance, its size, and shape, etc. For example, if the substance has to retain a particular shape for a long time, then the shape has to be special while pressing it into the mold. Despite such robust growth of the market, certain elements can potentially put forth major challenges. Adversities such as dietary restrictions and cultural prices among certain patient pools remain key hurdles in the market. Besides, rapidly increasing prices of gelatin and lower availability of raw materials can impede growth of the empty capsules market.

Another use of empty capsules is for the manufacturing of vegetable capsules. This can be done by pressing vegetable fiber into the empty shell and then breaking the fibers into fine pieces. The pieces of the fiber get mixed with glue and melted into the mold. Another key reason for the increased adoption of empty capsules is rapid growth of the pharmaceutical sector. The pharmaceutical industry is growing rapidly in both developed and emerging regions. As per India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), India’s domestic pharmaceutical market was valued at US$ 20.03 billion in 2019, increasing from US$ 18.12 billion in 2018. Thus, these factors can stimulate growth of the empty capsules market.

Recently, in March 2021, Capscanada Corporation launched a new liquid-filled hard capsule manufacturing service in North America.

The Global Meningococcal Vaccines Market Continues To Grow Owing To the Demand from Healthcare Care Sectors across the World to Prevent the Spread of the Diseases Especially In Children

  Meningococcal vaccines prevent the contraction of meningococcal diseases, including meningitis caused by the bacteria called meningococcus aureus. An outbreak of meningococcal disease is usually followed by an onset of meningitis. Meningococcal meningitis can cause permanent damage to the brain or spinal cord in as little as 10 days, depending on the degree of infection and the natural immunity of the person. Since meningitis is usually associated with a fever and signs and symptoms of a serious illness, many parents prefer not to use the traditional treatments for their children such as meningitis or oral antibiotics. Instead, they often resort to various forms of therapeutic interventions that may even improve their chances of developing a positive outcome. Meningococcal vaccines are now available for meningococcal meningitis, as well as for men who have had other prior bouts of meningitis. Some vaccines used for these purposes are PPSV, Rallo, and Q fever type 1. These vaccines

       Sexual health is an important part of a person’s physical and mental health. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), sexual health requires a respectful and positive approach to sexual relationships and sexuality, as well as the possibility of having pleasurable and safe sexual experiences, free of coercion, violence, and discrimination. Sexual health leads to a healthy sex life without any sexually transmitted diseases, and to take preventive measures to avoid sexually transmitted infections. The elderly population (geriatric population) often suffer from one or more sexual disorders, such as premature (early) ejaculation, erectile dysfunctions, dyspareunia, and hypoactive sexual desire disorder, among others. Thus, with the increasing geriatric population worldwide, the prevalence/incidence of sexual disorders is also increasing, driving the growth of the sexual health market . According to WHO, the world's population aged 60 years and older is expected to tota
