North America dominated the market in 2023, while Asia Pacific is expected to grow fastest. The gelatin segment led in 2023, but non-gelatin is projected to grow significantly. The pharmaceutical industry is the largest application segment, with the nutraceutical segment expected to grow rapidly. AI is enhancing drug manufacturing processes, and rising demand for dietary supplements and generic drugs is boosting market growth. Challenges include the lack of halal-certified raw materials and the costly certification process.
