The global Capsule Filling Machines market size was valued at US$ 1.92 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 3.02 billion by 2030, grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7% from 2023 to 2030. Capsule filling machines are used to fill capsules with powder, granules, tablets, or liquid formulations in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic industries. The growing pharmaceutical industry, increasing nutraceutical supplement consumption, and rising demand for capsule-based dosage forms are key factors driving the market growth.

Capsule filling is preferred for encapsulating active ingredients due to benefits such as faster disintegration, taste & odor masking, and extended shelf life. Technological advancements in capsule filling machines such as integrated weight checking, vision inspection systems, and connectivity with enterprise resource planning (ERP) software also support market growth. However, the high cost of automated capsule filling machines and stringent regulatory requirements for validation & maintenance impede the growth to some extent.
