Food Encapsulation Market Analysis
The global food encapsulation market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.12% during the forecast period (2020 - 2025).
- Encapsulation is an important tool for improving the delivery of living cells and bioactive molecules into foods. Food-grade, biodegradable materials must be used for designing the protective shell of encapsulates and they must be efficient in forming a barrier between the internal phase and its surroundings.
- Microencapsulation of essential oil, like Omega 3 with sugar beet pectin is an alternative innovative encapsulating agent than the traditional one. Maintenance of the stability of encapsulated food, especially during packaging and processing, is a major hindrance for food encapsulation industries.
Food Encapsulation Market Trends
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Food Encapsulation Market according to our research experts:
Growing Demand of Dietary Supplement
The dietary supplements market is preliminarily driven by the paradigm shift toward preventive health management practices, amid rising healthcare costs and increasing burden of lifestyle diseases. Dietary supplements such as vitamins, minerals, Omega 3, enzymes, etc. are growing owing to increasing health awareness among consumers. Ingredients, which are difficult to gain through food, can be fulfilled through a supplement to meet the dietary requirements, where encapsulation plays a major role in order to maintain taste, color, preservation, and nutrition of the product. The Asia-Pacific is the fastest-growing market for supplements.
North America Dominate the Market
North America holds the largest share in the food encapsulation market globally. The high availability of shell materials such as hydrocolloid, emulsions and the presence of a large number of manufacturers are contributing to the growth of the region. The Asia Pacific is has witnessed significant growth in the last couple of years, owing to the increasing demand for processed food and the flourishing food and beverage industry. The growth of the region is also fuelled by rapid urbanization, rising disposable income, improving living standards, particularly in emerging countries including China and India. The growth of Europe can be attributed to the increasing advancements in technologies used in the processed food sector.
