Currently, the high volume of pharmaceutical capsules available in the market are composed of gelatin. However, the crosslinking of the gelatin with drug incompatibilities and strict regulations on the use of animal-derived gelatin have encouraged pharmaceutical manufacturers to replace gelatin components with vegetable-based ingredients. Pharmaceutical manufacturers identified Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC)-derived vegetarian capsules as a good alternative to gelatin owing to its vegetable-derived source. In the case of gelatin-based capsules, the shell may get soft and become sticky upon spraying aqueous enteric polymer dispersions or become brittle due to water evaporation while drying, ultimately losing mechanical stability. However, HPMC-derived vegetarian capsules are less sensitive to aqueous coating, and the capsule shell is hard, which helps avoid leakage of the ingredients. Therefore, the rising preference for vegetarian medicines proves advantageous for the manufacturers to accelerate the production of vegetarian capsules, which drives the vegetarian capsules market.

For many years, there have been medical, religious, cultural, and ethical concerns about adding animal substances to capsule coatings or formulations in pharmaceutical medicines. Also, some consumers expressed concerns over the use of animal-derived pharmaceutical medicines due to the associated healthcare risks. In July 2023, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published a report stating that consumption of animal-derived medicines and supplements is responsible to cause Alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) among patients. Also, AGS patients revealed serious allergic reactions after consuming medications or supplements that include mammalian-derived ingredients. Such instances have raised the interest among the manufacturers to produce animal-free medications and supplements.
Innovation in vegetarian capsule products is of utmost importance for manufacturers to promote it as the best alternative to gelatin capsules. Nutraceutical companies are launching modified-release vegetarian capsules for effective drug absorption and to achieve predetermined clinical objectives.
"DRcaps capsules" by Lonza's (Capsugel) are vegetarian capsules manufactured using hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), which disintegrates more slowly than traditional gelatin capsules. Such HPMC-derived vegetarian capsules keep the ingredients intact in the capsule shell. Also, DRcaps capsules do not require any external application of chemical coatings to keep the ingredients intact, mask taste, or postpone the release of the active ingredients, proving advantageous for consumers who doubt capsule coatings as "unnatural." The clinical in-vitro studies on DRcaps capsules reveal that the capsule contents are intact for at least 30 minutes, with a gastric pH of 1.2, and disintegrate fully at an intestinal pH of 6.8. The DRcaps capsules are modified-release vegetarian capsule types that benefit consumers dealing with bad taste or aftertaste caused by some ingredients. Further, these capsules can eliminate certain disintegration steps such as coating, which reduces high production costs and time.
