Insights
Product insights to guide your sourcing.
Product Trends
HPMC vegetarian and TiO2-free capsules see rapid growth due to global vegan demand and European regulations. Enteric-coated variants are also popular for acid-sensitive formulas, while gelatin remains the baseline.
Industrial Cluster Analysis
Xinchang in Shaoxing, Zhejiang is China's largest capsule cluster with integrated gelatin/HPMC supply chains. It is ideal for GMP custom orders, while Shanxi and Hubei hubs offer competitive pricing for standard bulk capsules.
Quality Expectations
Capsules must achieve a filling pass rate above 99.9% on automatic machines. Gelatin capsules require 12.5%–16% moisture to avoid brittleness, while HPMC capsules need 3%–8% moisture, making them ideal for moisture-sensitive formulas.
What You Need to Know
Request sample capsules to run on automatic filling machines to test the pass rate, wall thickness, and brittleness. Buyers should review batch Certificates of Analysis (COA), GMP compliance records, and heavy metal test reports.
In-stock standard capsules have an MOQ of 1 carton (approx. 100,000 pieces) with delivery in 3–7 days. Customized colors or printing require 1–3 million pieces, with production taking 15–25 days, depending on machine queue.
Budget for printing plate fees, temperature-controlled shipping (reefer containers) to prevent melting or brittleness, customs duties, and local heavy metal or microbial lab testing required by target market regulations.
