Food Encapsulation Market by Shell Material (Polysaccharides, Emulsifiers, Lipids, Proteins), Technology (Microencapsulation, Nanoencapsulation, Hybrid encapsulation), Application, Method, Core Phase, and Region - Global Forecast to 2025
[180 Pages Report] The global food encapsulation market is estimated to account for USD 9.9 billion in 2020 and is projected to reach USD 14.1 billion by 2025, recording a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period. The market is primarily driven by the increasing use of encapsulated flavors in the food and beverage industry and the rising adoption of microencapsulation for functional ingredients.
Vitamins and minerals are the most common ingredients encapsulated for functional food and dietary supplements.
Vitamins are functional ingredients that are used in food owing to their specific nutritional properties for varied human body parts. Thus, a targeted and controlled release of vitamins often becomes important, when added as a food ingredient. Thus, encapsulation is majorly adopted for vitamins for its targeted effect. Following vitamins, there has been a growing trend in the encapsulation of flavors to achieve controlled and prolonged release of taste and fragrance of the ingredient.
The market for dietary supplements is projected to record the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
The demand for dietary supplements is on the rise in developed and developing countries among the millennial population. Vitamins, enzymes, and minerals are some of the major constituents of dietary supplements, which require targeted delivery. Also, industry experts foresee the adoption rate for dietary supplements to rise the highest in the coming five years.
Polysaccharides are the most preferred shell phase for food encapsulation.
The polysaccharides segment accounted for the largest market for shell material in 2018 and is projected to follow the same trend through 2025. Polysaccharides are a composition of repeating monosaccharide units connected by glycoside bonds. Polysaccharides are easily chemically modifiable and provide numerous textures and viscosities. Owing to their enormous molecular structure and ability to entrap bio-actives, polysaccharides are considered the most-suitable building blocks for delivery systems.
In terms of method of encapsulation, ingredients encapsulated through a physical method accounted for the major market share.
Food encapsulation demand is targeted by a few ingredient manufacturing companies, such as functional food ingredients, flavors, and colors. With the use of advanced technology, the price of the ingredient rises, and hence, the manufacturers prefer low cost-efficient encapsulation methods. Thus, the physical methods are the most demanded method used for encapsulation of food ingredients.
The food encapsulation market in the Asia Pacific region is projected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2019 to 2026.
Factors driving the growth of the Asia Pacific market include the increasing adoption of encapsulated flavors and colors in the beverage and premium food industry. With the rising awareness about the benefits of functional food and dietary supplements among consumers and rising disposable income, consumers have been willing to pay a premium price for value-added products. Thus, manufacturers have been grabbing this opportunity in countries such as China and India to expand their business in the encapsulation market. Also, small enterprises have been delivering generic encapsulated products in the market at competitive prices, which has been further boosting awareness.
Key Market Players
Many domestic and global players provide food encapsulation of various ingredients across the world. Few players offer encapsulated ingredients, while few companies offer encapsulation as an extended service for their clients. Major players have their presence in the North American and European countries. Key players operating in this market include FrieslandCampina (Netherlands), DSM (Netherlands), Ingredion Incorporated (US), Kerry Group (Ireland), Cargill (US), Lycored Group (Israel), Balchem Corporation (US), Firmenich Incorporated (Switzerland), BASF SE (Germany), International Flavors and Fragrances Inc.
