Food encapsulation is used to sustain the release of flavours of ingredient and is widely used across pharmaceuticals, food, textile personal care, chemical, and other industries. Food encapsulation enhances the taste of the food products, increases shelf-life, and quality of the food. Its prime function is to mask and protect the quality of the food product. In the chemical industry, it is used to develop the solvents and in the pharmaceutical industry, it is used to increase the flexibility of drug delivery while maintaining regulatory demands. Across the textile industry, it is used to improvise the release of fragrances, repel the insects and microbial formation.

Food encapsulation market was valued at US$ 6.8 Billion in 2021 in terms of revenue, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period (2022 to 2030).

Drivers

Increasing research and development for new processing of food encapsulation technologies is propelling the market growth of encapsulation technologies across various end-use industries. Moreover, companies are also investing in the field of nanotechnology, and food chemistry & formulation to cater to the rising demand for nutritional, infant nutrition products, and sports beverages products in the food industry. This is projected to drive the market growth.

Growing demand for natural flavors and clean label products is expected to propel the market growth of food encapsulation. Rising focus of manufacturer over safety, natural origin, high quality, and long shelf life coupled with the increasing demand for fortified and convenience food due to the hectic lifestyle of the population is further projected to foster the growth of food encapsulation market over the forecast timeframe.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the food encapsulation market is projected to be significant due to supply chain disruptions. The global market is highly dependent on various raw materials and formulations such as polysaccharides, proteins, lipids, and emulsifiers. However, this trend is changing and food encapsulation market is again coming back on track.

Regionally, Asia-pacific dominated the global food encapsulation market in 2021, reporting 32% market share in terms of revenue, followed by Europe and North America, respectively.

Market Restraints

Additional costs incurred during production are projected to hamper the market growth of food encapsulation. The high cost of production is a major concern among manufacturer and this is expected to restrict the adoption of food encapsulation. This, in turn, is projected to restrict the market growth of food encapsulation.

Issues associated with the stability of encapsulates due to fluctuation in the supply of ingredients across the food industry is expected to propel the market growth of food encapsulation. Strict regulations regarding food processors and thus, compliance with these regulations is another major concern. This is expected to hinder the market growth of food encapsulates over the forecast period.
