Food encapsulation involves the process of assimilating food ingredients,
enzymes, and other materials into capsules. It is an essential tool for
enhancing the delivery of living cells and bioactive molecules into foods.
Encapsulants behave as the shield material and protect the core consisting
of a sensitive bioactive agent from light, oxygen, and water to elude any
reaction on the core phase. Food-grade, biodegradable materials are strictly
used for designing the protective shell of encapsulates as they must be
efficient in building a barrier between the internal phase and its
surroundings.
Growth Drivers:
Factors primarily
driving the growth of this market include: the surging demand for food
encapsulation due to its various benefits, including enhanced shelf life, reduced
nutrient loss, and enhanced heat & oxidative resistance of end-product; the
increasing demand for encapsulated sweeteners in confectionery products; the
rising demand of dietary supplement owing to increasing health awareness among
consumers; the escalating advancements in the food science and technologies; the
soaring investments in food products that aid in preventing health problems;
and the increasing inclination of food & beverage processors on the
application of encapsulation in various products to achieve competitive
advantage.
Additionally,
the preference for time-controlled release of ingredients for nutraceutical
products is witnessing a steep surge all across the globe. With the help of food encapsulation
technology, active materials or core products can be made to release at a particular
temperature and/or time after consumption. This advantage of controlled release
of ingredients offered by encapsulation is aiding in the significant growth of
the global food encapsulation market.
Moreover, the
utilization of the encapsulation technology as an innovation tool is also
increasing in major parts of the world. For instance, Salvona, a company based
in the United States, developed encapsulation technologies enabling the
sequential release of aromas and sensory ingredients in functional foods.
Similarly, Orbitz, a company based in Canada, sells a drink containing a
suspension of colored capsules of different aromas and/or some vitamins, thus
making consumption of functional food a ‘fun experience. This is creating
tremendous growth opportunities for the global food encapsulation market for
the upcoming years.
Furthermore,
other factors such as the rapidly expanding global processed & packaged
food demand owing to the rising inclination toward convenient and healthy food
products; the improving standards of living of people; the rapidly surging global
geriatric population base; and the evolving food regulations across the globe
are expected to further augment the growth of the global food encapsulation
market during the forecast period.
However,
factors such as the high cost associated with food encapsulation technologies, the
low maintenance of the stability of the encapsulated food, especially during
packaging and processing, and the size of the capsule are expected to hinder
the growth of the global food encapsulation market to some extent during the
forecast period.

Based on technology, the microencapsulation
segment captured the largest share of the global food encapsulation market in
2021. The segment is anticipated to continue with its dominance in the market
during the forecast period of 2022-2030.
The growing demand and preference for microencapsulation due to its ease
in manufacturing and superior functional advantages is the primary factor
ascribed to the large share of the segment. However, the hybrid encapsulation
segment is expected to register the highest growth in the market during the
forecast period.
Based on core phase, the
probiotics segment is estimated to attain the highest growth in the market
during the forecast period. This is primarily due to the increasing usage of
probiotics in the food industry in the functional food segment due to their
health benefits, including enhanced immunity levels, prevention of certain
cancers & diarrhea among children, and improved nutrient bioavailability &
lactose intolerance.
Based on shell
material, the polysaccharides segment held the largest share of the global food
encapsulation market in 2021. The segment is poised to retain its position
further in the market during the forecast period of 2022-2030. The high demand
and usage of polysaccharides as inexpensive and safe shell materials for
encapsulation and their high effectiveness in adverse environmental conditions
