Vegetable Capsules Become New Industry Trend: YUEXI CAPSULE Leads Global Market with Full-Chain Layout



As the global pharmaceutical industry’s demand for the safety and functionality of pharmaceutical excipients continues to upgrade, the empty capsule industry is undergoing structural transformation. Three key drivers—stricter regulatory oversight, technological breakthroughs in plant-based materials, and global market expansion—are propelling the industry toward high-quality, green development at an accelerated pace. Leading enterprises with technological and production capacity advantages are consistently capturing larger market shares. As a global supplier with 40 years of deep industry expertise, YUEXI CAPSULE has emerged as a core participant in this industrial upgrading drive, leveraging its full-range product portfolio and global service network.







Industry data shows that the global market share of vegetable empty capsules reached 28% in 2025 and is projected to exceed 40% by 2030. Plant-based materials such as hypromellose (HPMC) have become the main driver of market growth, thanks to their advantages in avoiding animal-derived risks and meeting special dietary needs. Meanwhile, countries around the world are imposing increasingly stringent regulations on indicators such as heavy metal residues and microbial limits in capsules. The linked review and approval system is reshaping the industry landscape, accelerating the exit of small and medium-sized production capacities, and highlighting the competitive edge of enterprises with compliance qualifications and R&D capabilities. Against this backdrop, YUEXI CAPSULE has focused on core market needs and built a comprehensive product system covering 00#–5# standard sizes and A–E type safety capsules. Among these products, its vegetable capsules have obtained certifications complying with pharmaceutical standards in multiple countries worldwide, due to their stable film-forming properties and low friability.



Backed by the technical accumulation of over 80 professional R&D and office personnel, YUEXI CAPSULE has continued to make breakthroughs in the field of functional capsules. Its enteric-coated and sustained-release products have been tailored to meet the high-end needs of innovative drugs and special preparations. The production process adopts full-process microbial control technology to ensure product safety from the source. Currently, the company's products are exported to more than 110 countries and regions, serving over 300 global cooperative enterprises. Stable supply networks have been established in both mature European and American markets and emerging pharmaceutical production regions, with the export growth rate of vegetable capsules maintaining double-digit growth for three consecutive years.



Facing the complexities of the international trade environment and the demands of global collaboration, YUEXI CAPSULE is accelerating efforts through dual approaches: technological innovation and channel deepening. On one hand, it continues to optimize the production costs of vegetable capsules and enhance the independent supply capacity of core materials. On the other hand, it strengthens localized services to adapt to the compliance requirements and market preferences of different regions. Looking ahead, the company will continue to leverage end-to-end solutions to help global pharmaceutical enterprises reduce costs and improve efficiency, injecting sustained momentum into the green transformation and high-quality development of the industry.
