In the herbal medicine market, tablets and capsules are the most common forms of oral medication. Tablets, which are typically round, oblong, or disc-shaped, are created by compressing powdered herbal extracts and additives into a hard, solid form. These additives enhance the tablet's taste, texture, appearance, and ensure its structural integrity. Tablets can be scored for easy division and are generally more cost-effective than capsules. In contrast, capsules consist of an outer shell that encases the herbal extract. Upon reaching the digestive tract, the shell dissolves, releasing the active components for absorption into the bloodstream. Both forms offer effective and safe delivery methods for herbal medicines.

Asia is forecasted to hold the largest market size by region in 2024
