肠溶软胶囊市场报告(按类型、应用、配销通路和地区)2025-2033Enteric Softgel Capsules Market Report by Type, Application, Distribution Channel, and Region 2025-2033 |
2024年,全球肠溶软胶囊市场规模达27亿美元。展望未来, IMARC Group预计到2033年,该市场规模将达到37亿美元,2025-2033年期间的复合年增长率(CAGR)为3.6%。市场成长主要受全球老年人口成长、慢性疾病和营养缺乏症盛行率上升以及营养和膳食补充剂日益普及的驱动。
慢性病盛行率不断上升
糖尿病、心血管疾病和胃肠道疾病等慢性疾病的盛行率不断上升,大大推动了肠溶软胶囊市场的成长。根据美国疾病管制与预防中心的数据,美国约有1.29亿人患有至少一种主要慢性疾病,包括心臟病、癌症、糖尿病、肥胖和高血压。此外,美国十大主要死因中有五种是或与可预防和可治疗的慢性疾病密切相关。此外,在过去二十年中,慢性疾病的盛行率稳步上升,预计这一趋势还将持续。肠溶软胶囊能够持续标靶释放药物,这对于治疗通常需要长期治疗的疾病非常有益。透过在肠道而不是胃部释放药物,这些胶囊可以确保药物在最佳作用区域被吸收。这种标靶给药是治疗慢性疾病的理想选择,因为它可以增强疗效并减少副作用。随着人口老化、久坐不动的生活方式以及饮食习惯的改变导致全球慢性病负担加重,肠溶软胶囊和其他复杂的药物输送技术的需求可能会越来越大。
对营养补充品的偏好日益增加
推动肠溶软胶囊市场收入成长的另一个因素是消费者对膳食补充剂日益增长的兴趣。根据美国国家医学图书馆的数据,全球营养保健品和补充剂市场在过去十年中稳步增长,据报导2019年的价值为3530亿美元。该领域的研究也在成长,PubMed上已发表的与营养保健品或膳食补充剂相关的文章超过70,000篇。此外,由严重急性呼吸道症候群冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)引起的冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行始于2019年11月,导致膳食补充剂和营养保健品的销量在2020年初进一步增长。营养保健品产业广泛使用肠溶软胶囊来提供维生素、矿物质和其他营养补充品。这些胶囊具有许多好处,包括增加营养吸收和生物利用度,保护脆弱成分免受胃酸侵蚀,并提高客户便利性和依从性。随着人们越来越意识到营养补充品的健康益处,越来越多的人将营养补充品纳入日常生活。这一趋势在老年人群体和注重健康的消费者中尤其明显,他们希望透过补充剂来预防或治疗疾病。
老年人口不断增加
不断增长的老年人口是肠溶软胶囊市场价值成长的另一个主要因素。根据联合国 (UN) 统计,全球 65 岁及以上人口预计将成长一倍以上,从 2021 年的 7.61 亿增加到 2050 年的 16 亿。 80 岁及以上人口的成长速度甚至更快。老年人通常有特殊的医疗保健需求,例如管理多种慢性疾病,需要易于吞嚥、对胃肠道友善的药物。肠溶软胶囊可以满足这些需求,它提供了一种实用且高效的处方药和膳食补充剂的递送方法。由于老年族群中消化问题较常见,这些胶囊的肠溶衣尤其有用。此外,随着预期寿命的延长和出生率的下降,世界老年人口正在不断扩大。肠溶软胶囊可提高服药依从性和治疗效果,预计随着人口结构转变,这类医疗保健产品的需求将会增加。
明胶胶囊占大部分市场份额
根据肠溶胶囊市场预测,明胶胶囊因其卓越的生物相容性和吸收性而广受欢迎。明胶源自动物胶原蛋白,是一种易于人体吸收和消化的天然蛋白质。由于其生物相容性,它对各种消费者(包括胃敏感或饮食受限的消费者)来说都是安全的。明胶胶囊也因其高生物利用度(即活性物质能够被血液有效吸收)而闻名。因此,用于製造软胶囊的明胶需求不断增长。根据美国国家医学图书馆的数据,2020 年明胶市场规模达到 31.8 亿美元,并且预计到 2024 年将达到 40.8 亿美元,正如同一报告所预测的那样。
保健品占业界最大份额
保健品市场占据主导地位,这主要是因为人们越来越意识到维护整体健康和福祉的重要性。根据Research Gate的数据,53.7%的受访者根据医生的建议服用膳食补充剂,28.5%的受访者自行决定服用,15.9%的受访者听从朋友的建议服用;87.4%的受访者在药店购买补充剂。随着健康产业的发展,越来越多的人积极关注自身健康,并寻求有助于增强免疫力、提供重要营养素和预防慢性疾病的补充剂。肠溶软胶囊可以保护脆弱成分免受胃酸侵蚀,提高肠道吸收率和生物利用度,因此是这些营养素的理想输送方式。
药房和药局是主要的细分市场
药房和药局在市场中占有相当大的份额。这些分布广泛且消费者友好的零售点为处方药和营养补充剂提供了实用的销售点。药剂师可以提供专业指导,顾客经常选择从药局购买健康相关产品,从而确保他们的决定是明智的。根据麦肯锡发布的报告,零售连锁店是四种药局类型中规模最大、最普遍的,占2021年门市总数的三分之一,约占处方收入的三分之一。以每家店计算,零售连锁店每年配发约138,000张处方,比杂货店多出约50%,杂货店是美国零售点数量第二多的处方药配药商。
北美引领市场,占据最大的肠溶软胶囊市场份额
该报告还对所有主要区域市场进行了全面分析,包括北美(美国和加拿大);欧洲(德国、法国、英国、义大利、西班牙、俄罗斯等);亚太地区(中国、日本、印度、韩国、澳洲、印尼等);拉丁美洲(巴西、墨西哥等);以及中东和非洲。报告指出,北美是肠溶软胶囊最大的区域市场。
北美肠溶软胶囊市场前景看好的一个重要驱动因素是慢性病盛行率的上升。根据美国国家医学图书馆的数据,美国50岁及以上人口数量将从2020年的1.3725亿增加61.11%,到2050年将达到2.2113亿。在50岁及以上人口中,患有至少一种慢性病的人数预计将从2020年的7,152.2万人增加99.5%,到2050年将达到1.4266亿。主要由于人口老化和生活方式的选择,糖尿病、心血管疾病和胃肠道疾病等疾病在该地区普遍存在。肠溶软胶囊可针对缓释药物,这对通常需要长期治疗的慢性病患者非常有益。这些胶囊是管理慢性病的建议选择,因为它们可以增强治疗效果并最大限度地减少副作用。北美巨大的市场份额主要归因于慢性病盛行率的上升,这反过来又推动了对高效实用的药物输送方法的需求。

The global enteric softgel capsules market size reached USD 2.7 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 3.7 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.6% during 2025-2033. The market is primarily driven by the growing global geriatric population, the rising prevalence of chronic medical disorders and nutrient-deficient diseases, and the growing acceptance of nutritional and dietary supplements.
Growing prevalence of chronic diseases
The enteric softgel capsule market growth is significantly driven by the rising prevalence of chronic diseases like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and gastrointestinal disorders. As per Centers of Diseases Control and Prevention, an estimated 129 million people in the US have at least 1 major chronic disease including heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, and hypertension. Besides, five of the top 10 leading causes of death in the US are, or are strongly associated with, preventable and treatable chronic diseases. Moreover, over the past two decades prevalence has increased steadily, and this trend is expected to continue. Enteric softgel capsules offer a continuous and targeted release of medication, which is beneficial for treating illnesses that often require long-term treatment. By releasing its contents in the intestines instead of the stomach, these capsules make sure the medication is absorbed where it works best. This targeted administration is a desirable alternative for managing chronic diseases since it can enhance therapeutic outcomes and lessen side effects. With aging populations, sedentary lifestyles, and changing dietary habits contributing to the global burden of chronic diseases, enteric softgel capsules and other sophisticated drug delivery technologies are likely to become more and more in demand.
Increasing preference toward nutritional supplements
Another factor propelling the enteric softgel capsule market revenue is the growing inclination of consumers toward dietary supplements. As per the National Library of Medicine, the global nutraceuticals and supplements market has steadily grown over the past decade and was reported to be worth $353 Billion in 2019. Research in the field has also grown, with over 70,000 published articles available in PubMed relating to nutraceuticals or dietary supplements respectively. Besides, the occurrence of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) starting in November 2019 led to an even greater increase in sales of dietary supplements and nutraceuticals in early 2020. The nutraceutical sector uses enteric softgel capsules extensively to provide vitamins, minerals, and other nutritional supplements. These capsules have a number of benefits, including as increased nutrient absorption and bioavailability, shielding delicate components from stomach acids, and improving customer convenience and compliance. More people are including nutritional supplements in their regular routines as awareness of their health advantages develops. This trend is especially prominent among older populations and health-conscious consumers who want to use supplements to prevent or treat medical issues.
Rising geriatric population
Another major aspect increasing the enteric softgel capsule market value is the growing geriatric population. According to the United Nations (UN), the global population aged 65 years or older is expected to be more than double, increasing from 761 million in 2021 to 1.6 billion by 2050. The population aged 80 years or older is growing at an even faster rate. Elderly people frequently have particular healthcare demands, such as managing several chronic illnesses and requiring easy-to-swallow, gastrointestinal-friendly drugs. These criteria are met by enteric softgel capsules, which provide a practical and efficient method of delivering prescription drugs and dietary supplements. These capsules' enteric coating is especially helpful as digestive problems are more common in the elderly population. Additionally, as life expectancy rises and birth rates fall, the world's senior population is expanding. Enteric softgel capsules, which can improve medication adherence and treatment outcomes, are among the healthcare items that are predicted to see an increase in demand as a result of this demographic transition.
Gelatin capsules accounts for the majority of the market share
As per enteric capsules market forecast, gelatin capsules are widely preferred due to their exceptional biocompatibility and absorption. Derived from animal collagen, gelatin is an easily absorbed and digested natural protein by the human body. It is also safe for a variety of consumers including those with sensitive stomachs or dietary restrictions due to its biocompatibility. Gelatin capsules are also renowned for having a high bioavailability, or the ability of the active substances to be effectively absorbed into the bloodstream. Hence, there is an escalating demand for gelatin for manufacturing softgel capsules. As per National Liabrary of Medicine, the market for gelatin in 2020 reached USD 3.18 Billion and is further expected to reach USD 4.08 Billion by 2024 as forecasted in the same report.
Health supplements hold the largest share of the industry
