腸溶軟膠囊市場報告(按類型、應用、配銷通路和地區)2025-2033Enteric Softgel Capsules Market Report by Type, Application, Distribution Channel, and Region 2025-2033 |
2024年,全球腸溶軟膠囊市場規模達27億美元。展望未來, IMARC Group預計到2033年,該市場規模將達到37億美元,2025-2033年期間的複合年成長率(CAGR)為3.6%。市場成長主要受全球老年人口成長、慢性疾病和營養缺乏症盛行率上升以及營養和膳食補充劑日益普及的驅動。
慢性病盛行率不斷上升
糖尿病、心血管疾病和胃腸道疾病等慢性疾病的盛行率不斷上升,大大推動了腸溶軟膠囊市場的成長。根據美國疾病管制與預防中心的數據,美國約有1.29億人患有至少一種主要慢性疾病,包括心臟病、癌症、糖尿病、肥胖和高血壓。此外,美國十大主要死因中有五種是或與可預防和可治療的慢性疾病密切相關。此外,在過去二十年中,慢性疾病的盛行率穩步上升,預計這一趨勢還將持續。腸溶軟膠囊能夠持續標靶釋放藥物,這對於治療通常需要長期治療的疾病非常有益。透過在腸道而不是胃部釋放藥物,這些膠囊可以確保藥物在最佳作用區域被吸收。這種標靶給藥是治療慢性疾病的理想選擇,因為它可以增強療效並減少副作用。隨著人口老化、久坐不動的生活方式以及飲食習慣的改變導致全球慢性病負擔加重,腸溶軟膠囊和其他複雜的藥物輸送技術的需求可能會越來越大。
對營養補充品的偏好日益增加
推動腸溶軟膠囊市場收入成長的另一個因素是消費者對膳食補充劑日益成長的興趣。根據美國國家醫學圖書館的數據,全球營養保健品和補充劑市場在過去十年中穩步成長,據報導2019年的價值為3530億美元。該領域的研究也在成長,PubMed上已發表的與營養保健品或膳食補充劑相關的文章超過70,000篇。此外,由嚴重急性呼吸道症候群冠狀病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)引起的冠狀病毒病(COVID-19)大流行始於2019年11月,導致膳食補充劑和營養保健品的銷量在2020年初進一步成長。營養保健品產業廣泛使用腸溶軟膠囊來提供維生素、礦物質和其他營養補充品。這些膠囊具有許多好處,包括增加營養吸收和生物利用度,保護脆弱成分免受胃酸侵蝕,並提高客戶便利性和依從性。隨著人們越來越意識到營養補充品的健康益處,越來越多的人將營養補充品納入日常生活。這一趨勢在老年人群體和注重健康的消費者中尤其明顯,他們希望透過補充劑來預防或治療疾病。
老年人口不斷增加
不斷成長的老年人口是腸溶軟膠囊市場價值成長的另一個主要因素。根據聯合國 (UN) 統計,全球 65 歲及以上人口預計將成長一倍以上,從 2021 年的 7.61 億增加到 2050 年的 16 億。 80 歲及以上人口的成長速度甚至更快。老年人通常有特殊的醫療保健需求,例如管理多種慢性疾病,需要易於吞嚥、對胃腸道友善的藥物。腸溶軟膠囊可以滿足這些需求,它提供了一種實用且高效的處方藥和膳食補充劑的遞送方法。由於老年族群中消化問題較常見,這些膠囊的腸溶衣尤其有用。此外,隨著預期壽命的延長和出生率的下降,世界老年人口正在不斷擴大。腸溶軟膠囊可提高服藥依從性和治療效果,預計隨著人口結構轉變,這類醫療保健產品的需求將會增加。
明膠膠囊佔大部分市場佔有率
根據腸溶膠囊市場預測,明膠膠囊因其卓越的生物相容性和吸收性而廣受歡迎。明膠源自動物膠原蛋白,是一種易於人體吸收和消化的天然蛋白質。由於其生物相容性,它對各種消費者(包括胃敏感或飲食受限的消費者)來說都是安全的。明膠膠囊也因其高生物利用度(即活性物質能夠被血液有效吸收)而聞名。因此,用於製造軟膠囊的明膠需求不斷成長。根據美國國家醫學圖書館的數據,2020 年明膠市場規模達到 31.8 億美元,並且預計到 2024 年將達到 40.8 億美元,正如同一報告所預測的那樣。
保健品佔業界最大佔有率
保健品市場佔據主導地位,這主要是因為人們越來越意識到維護整體健康和福祉的重要性。根據Research Gate的數據,53.7%的受訪者根據醫生的建議服用膳食補充劑,28.5%的受訪者自行決定服用,15.9%的受訪者聽從朋友的建議服用;87.4%的受訪者在藥店購買補充劑。隨著健康產業的發展,越來越多的人積極關注自身健康,並尋求有助於增強免疫力、提供重要營養素和預防慢性疾病的補充劑。腸溶軟膠囊可以保護脆弱成分免受胃酸侵蝕,提高腸道吸收率和生物利用度,因此是這些營養素的理想輸送方式。
藥房和藥局是主要的細分市場
藥房和藥局在市場中佔有相當大的佔有率。這些分佈廣泛且消費者友好的零售點為處方藥和營養補充劑提供了實用的銷售點。藥劑師可以提供專業指導,顧客經常選擇從藥局購買健康相關產品,從而確保他們的決定是明智的。根據麥肯錫發布的報告,零售連鎖店是四種藥局類型中規模最大、最普遍的,佔2021年門市總數的三分之一,約佔處方收入的三分之一。以每家店計算,零售連鎖店每年配發約138,000張處方,比雜貨店多出約50%,雜貨店是美國零售點數量第二多的處方藥配藥商。
北美引領市場,佔據最大的腸溶軟膠囊市場佔有率
該報告還對所有主要區域市場進行了全面分析,包括北美(美國和加拿大);歐洲(德國、法國、英國、義大利、西班牙、俄羅斯等);亞太地區(中國、日本、印度、韓國、澳洲、印尼等);拉丁美洲(巴西、墨西哥等);以及中東和非洲。報告指出,北美是腸溶軟膠囊最大的區域市場。
北美腸溶軟膠囊市場前景看好的一個重要促進因素是慢性病盛行率的上升。根據美國國家醫學圖書館的數據,美國50歲及以上人口數量將從2020年的1.3725億增加61.11%,到2050年將達到2.2113億。在50歲及以上人口中,患有至少一種慢性病的人數預計將從2020年的7,152.2萬人增加99.5%,到2050年將達到1.4266億。主要由於人口老化和生活方式的選擇,糖尿病、心血管疾病和胃腸道疾病等疾病在該地區普遍存在。腸溶軟膠囊可針對緩釋藥物,這對通常需要長期治療的慢性病患者非常有益。這些膠囊是管理慢性病的建議選擇,因為它們可以增強治療效果並最大限度地減少副作用。北美巨大的市場佔有率主要歸因於慢性病盛行率的上升,這反過來又推動了對高效實用的藥物輸送方法的需求。
