The global chewable softgels market continues to demonstrate robust expansion, with its valuation reaching USD 1.2 billion in 2024. According to comprehensive industry analysis, the market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.8%, reaching approximately USD 1.9 billion by 2030. This sustained growth trajectory is primarily fueled by increasing consumer preference for convenient dosage forms and the expanding application of chewable softgels in pediatric and geriatric nutrition markets.
Chewable softgels represent a significant advancement in oral drug delivery, combining the benefits of traditional softgel technology with improved palatability and ease of consumption. Their unique formulation advantages are driving adoption across pharmaceutical and nutraceutical sectors, particularly for vitamins, minerals, and cannabinoid-based products where taste masking is critical.
