- For instance, in May 2023, TopGum, Ltd., announced the launch of its new caffeine gummy product line, Gummiccino, with the first use of its proprietary microencapsulation technology. This technology promotes flavor and increases food absorption.
Moreover, food additives, mainly colors, are widely employed in several dishes, starting from Laddoo’s to other prominent dishes and sweets in the food industry. This is certainly fueling the production of food additives, which require microencapsulation technology to improve the flavor and texture of fortified foods by masking certain flavors.
However, the higher cost of microencapsulation technology and the limited awareness about the functioning and benefits of microencapsulation are anticipated to lower demand in the next few years.
Growth Drivers
Rising pharmaceutical studies exploring microencapsulation benefits
The pharmaceutical sector is registering increasing product innovations and new formulations tablets, with the increasing prevalence of numerous health problems in the world. These medicines require control over release and stability, as that can help in teaching to the targeted area in the treatment procedures, driving the use of microencapsulation. For instance, a 2023 study published in Nature Biomedical Engineering focused on developing exosome-loaded microcapsules for the treatment of vitreoretinal health diseases. Additionally, in February 2022, Galderma launched Microencapsulated Benzoyl Peroxide Rx Cream for the treatment of rosacea, which affects 16 million individuals in the United States.
Increasing use in the food and beverages industry
The growing number of people opting for healthy beverages is encouraging food and beverage manufacturers to formulate food and drinks with healthy ingredients. This is in a way stimulating the need for microencapsulation, as it can extend the product's shelf life. For instance, in March 2023, AnaBio Technologies unveiled the new micro-encapsulation technology with the capability to improve the stability of probiotic beverages with moisture stabilizing and heat resistant characteristics.
Restraining Factors
Lower level of microencapsulation stability is likely to impede the market growth
The same microencapsulation technology is not suitable for the diverse product range, leading to the higher resistance to adopt new technologies based on their functioning. The lesser amount of stability provided by the microencapsulation, specifically for the sensitive pharmaceutical products is anticipated to limit the market growth during the forecast timeframe.

By Core Material Analysis
Pharmaceutical and healthcare drugs segment is expected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period
The pharmaceutical segment will grow with substantial pace, owing to growing awareness about the physical fitness and nutritional benefits. Based on the article published in the Indian Express Group in May 2023, around 80% of the people in India are suffering from micronutrients deficiency. This is fueling the manufacturing of healthcare supplements in the world, significantly supporting the need for the microencapsulation technology.
The food additives segment led the industry market with a substantial revenue share in 2023, largely attributable to the changing consumer lifestyle after the COVID-19 pandemic. Most of the people altered their eating habits and consumption behavior towards healthy products. Food producers are increasingly focusing on incorporating healthy ingredients along with the food additives, to gain consumer attention, due to its effectiveness in enhancing taste, texture and nutritional value of the products. Microencapsulation works well in masking some flavors, which causes dissatisfaction among the users, leading to the higher rate of adoption in the food industry.
By Technology Analysis
Spray technology segment held the significant market revenue share in 2023
The spray technology segment held a significant market share in revenue in 2023. This is mainly attributable to the ability to protect products and chemical compounds from extreme weather conditions, such as heat, moisture, radiation and others, leading the shelf extension. In textiles, spray technology is anticipated to drive the durability, which is a major factor considered by the individuals before consumption.
Regional Insights
North America region registered the largest share of the global market in 2023
The North America region held the dominant share in 2023. This is due to the presence of nations with the higher purchasing power, leading to the increased consumption of snacking and fortified foods. Younger people in the region are significantly showing interest to consume healthcare supplements along with the physical activities to be physically fit. According to the Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention, about 57.6% of the people in 20’s are taken dietary supplements in the 30 days from the survey in 2017-18. This is anticipated to create demand for the microencapsulation, as mostly the used to control the spread and flavor.
The Asia Pacific region will grow at the rapid pace, owing to the growing consumption of fragrance and flavor products in the region, primarily India and China. According to the Fragrances and Flavours Association of India (FAFAI) in 2023, fragrance and flavor industry is projected to grow at a annual growth rate of 12%, and reach USD 5.2 billion in the next three to four years, driven by the changing consumer preferences along with the disposable income. This is anticipated to facilitate growth opportunities for the microencapsulation, due to its extensive use in the fragrance and flavor management.
