Market Trends of Microencapsulated Food Ingredient Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Microencapsulated Food Ingredient Market according to our research experts:
Growing Demand for Food Fortification
Owing to the growing need for tackling micronutrient deficiency, the demand for functional and fortified ingredients that are used for food and pharmaceutical products have shown significant growth in the global market. Microencapsulation is a suitable technology to provide controlled and targeted release of functional ingredients, thereby augmenting their bioavailability and at the same time providing food industries with ease of manufacturing. The technology also preserves the overall integrity of the food products by stabilizing the sensitive aspects, like flavor, appearance, and shelf-life, along with enabling conversion of liquid cores into powders and preventing the participation of undesirable reactions. Therefore, it results in fortifying food products without any degradation of sensitive ingredients.
North America Continues to Dominate the Global Market
The market for microencapsulation in the North American region, particularly in the United States, is driven by the growing demand and awareness about value-added products for various areas such as nutrition, food, healthcare, and personal care. Due to this awareness and increased demand, companies are focusing on manufacturing functional products with novel technologies such as microencapsulation. However, Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing market due to the new product launches, geographical expansion, and increasing demand for specialized products among consumers.
