Alternative dosage forms are helping the pharmaceutical industry tackle some of the biggest challenges associated with efficacy and patient adherence. For example, oral films that help administer treatments to pediatric and geriatric patients, and wearable injectors that enable the self-administering of high-volume treatments. Amid these innovations, it’s easy to overlook the humble tablets and capsules that have been used for generations and continue to be the most popular course of treatment around the world. The global capsule market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1% from 2021 to 2030 (1). This amounts to approximately 700 billion units every year around the world, according to ACG data (2).
But capsules are more than the familiar favorite. Recent developments are taking oral solid dosage (OSD) solutions to new heights. Now more than ever, innovation is fueled by the need to differentiate and to deliver sustainable, advanced products in the crowded pharmaceutical market. Pharmaceutical manufacturers must also navigate evolving delivery formats, the economy of scale, complex regulatory landscapes, increasingly stressed supply chains, and digitalization, all while maintaining the highest quality standards. Therefore, it’s crucial to take steps to meet these growing challenges using the latest advanced manufacturing technologies.
