Global Food Encapsulation Market by Core Phase (Additives, Enzymes, Minerals), Shell Material (Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins), Technology, Method, Application - Forecast 2024-2030

The Food Encapsulation Market size was estimated at USD 10.06 billion in 2023, USD 10.99 billion in 2024, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.41% to reach USD 18.89 billion by 2030.

Encapsulation involves incorporating food ingredients, enzymes, cells, or other materials in small capsules to mask undesirable color or flavor and preserve unstable constituents, incorporating additional nutritional components, and site-specific release of encapsulated ingredients at a controlled time and rate. Consumers today are highly health conscious and increasingly prefer food products with additional nutritional benefits. Moreover, due to their multifaceted health benefits, probiotics and functional beverages are clearing shelves in super and hypermarkets. Encapsulation is used to mask people's unpleasant feelings during eating, such as polyphenols' bitter taste and astringency, and also immobilizes cells or enzymes in food processing applications, such as fermentation and metabolite production processes. The growing demand for sustainable and clean-label products encourages food manufacturers to employ microencapsulation technology to enhance the product's lifespan without adding preservatives and additives. However, the high cost of the microencapsulation technology and concerns regarding poor stability of the microencapsulated ingredients in the changing environmental conditions may restrict the use of this technology. Besides, the technological breakthroughs and development of novel encapsulating ingredients continue to expand the use of microencapsulation technology in food processing industries. The newfangled developments in food encapsulation, such as improvements in controlled release, carrier materials, and preparation methods, are paving the way for the upscaled growth of food microencapsulation technology. Integrating machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms and smart sensors in the microencapsulating process is expected to provide the potential for growing food microencapsulation technology.

Regional Insights

Americas represents a highly developing and innovative landscape for the global food encapsulation market driven by growing focus by market players to develop innovative food encapsulation solutions and increasing demand for nutritionally rich food items, convenience food, dietary supplements, and other associated products. The Asia-Pacific region represents an expanding food and beverage processing sector and a rising trend towards health-beneficial food products, building a strengthened market for the global food encapsulation market. The increasing consumer shift towards healthy and value-added food products due to rising health concerns is accelerating the specialty food encapsulation market in the Asia-Pacific region. Consumers' demand for frozen and processed food increases due to the changing lifestyles and busy schedules in metropolitan areas. For instance, research showed that, in 2021, the turnover of the food and drink industry in Europe was EUR 1,093 billion (~USD 1,250.63 billion), adding 1.9% to gross value. The consumers in the EU nations direct 21.5% of household expenditure to food products and beverages. Thus, the expanding food & beverage industry in Europe is expected to create a platform for the food encapsulation market in EMEA.
