Global Soft Gelatin Capsules (Softgels) Competitive Landscape Professional Research Report 2025

Research Summary

Soft gelatin capsules, often referred to simply as softgels, are oral dosage forms used for delivering pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements, and cosmetic ingredients. They are composed of a gelatin shell, typically derived from animal sources such as bovine or fish, and filled with a liquid or semi-solid formulation containing the active ingredient(s). Softgels are distinguished by their smooth, easy-to-swallow shape and flexibility compared to traditional hard capsules or tablets. The gelatin shell of softgels provides a barrier to protect the contents from degradation by oxygen and moisture, enhancing stability and shelf life. Softgels are commonly used for formulations that are poorly soluble in water, volatile, or sensitive to oxidation, as the sealed shell helps to maintain the integrity and potency of the active ingredients. They are widely utilized in the pharmaceutical industry for medications ranging from pain relievers to vitamins and in the dietary supplement industry for delivering nutrients like fish oil and herbal extracts.
