Softgel capsules which is also known as softgels, are a type of capsule made of a soft, gelatin-based material that envelops a liquid or semi-solid fill. The fill material and gelatin shell offer different advantages over traditional hard capsules. Softgel shells are thinner and more flexible than hard capsules, thereby allowing more fill to be delivered in a smaller dosage form which is appreciated by consumers. The gelatin material also permits faster dissolution of the shell, thus making the fill available for absorption more quickly after ingestion compared to hard capsules.

There are two main types of softgel capsules. The first type is surrounded by a single soft gelatin shell which contains the active fill ingredient. The second type has a dual-layered construction with an inner sealing layer preventing leakage of the fill and an outer support layer providing structural integrity. Softgels are capable of holding liquid, semi-solid and even dry or paste-like fills which opens up formulation possibilities beyond what is offered by hard capsules. However, softgel manufacturing requires specialized equipment and expertise as compared to hard capsules which can increase production costs. Their gelatin-based shell is also less stable than hard capsule shells making them more vulnerable to heat, moisture and improper storage conditions.

Market Dynamics:

Global softgel capsule market is mainly driven by the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases across the world, thus leading to increasing consumption and demand of softgel capsules. Various cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, coronary artery diseases, and others have become major healthcare burdens, especially in developed nations with aging populations and lifestyle changes. As cardiac associations, cardiovascular diseases have emerged as the leading cause of mortality and long-term disabilities. For instance, on May 15, 2023, according to the report published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, heart disease is the leading cause of death for men, women, and people of most racial and ethnic groups in the U.S., while one person dies every 33 seconds in the U.S. from cardiovascular disease.

Furthermore, in November 2022, according to the report published by the Public Health Agency in Canada, heart disease is the second leading cause of death in Canada, claiming more than 50,000 lives each year.
