The food encapsulation market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $39.04 billion in 2023 to $41.76 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.0%. The growth observed in the historic period can be attributed to factors such as growing consumer awareness, a rising demand for convenience foods, trends in health and wellness, an increasing consumer demand for functional foods, and the overall growth of the food and beverage industry.
The food encapsulation market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $54.42 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to innovations in ingredients and materials, global population growth, expanding applications in various industries, continued growth in the functional foods market, and an emphasis on sustainable and natural ingredients. Major trends expected during this period include advancements in encapsulation technologies, technological innovations in encapsulation techniques, a rising preference for convenience foods, increasing sustainability concerns, and a focus on customization and personalization.
The growing demand for fortified and functional foods is anticipated to drive the expansion of the food encapsulation market. Fortified foods contain additional nutrients not naturally present in the food, while functional foods aim to reduce the risk of disease and enhance overall health beyond basic nutrition. The food encapsulation market benefits from the widespread use of fortified and functional foods, offering added nutrients or beneficial ingredients. For instance, in February 2023, Nestle, a Switzerland-based food and beverage processing company, reported delivering 124.6 billion fortified servings of food and beverages through popular brands such as Bear Brand, Cerevita, and Maggi.
The rising prevalence of obesity is expected to drive the growth of the food encapsulation market in the future. Obesity, a medical condition characterized by an excess of body fat with negative effects on health, prompts a need for solutions to address related concerns. Food encapsulation plays a role in combating obesity by offering healthier food alternatives, supporting portion control, and enhancing overall nutritional quality. For instance, in May 2023, the Government Digital Service, a UK-based government body, projected that in England, 25.9% of individuals aged 18 and older would be obese in 2021–2022, reflecting a 25.2% increase. Consequently, the escalating prevalence of obesity is a driving force behind the growth of the food encapsulation market.
Technological advancement stands out as a significant and popular trend in the food encapsulation market. Technological advancement involves the discovery of knowledge that drives progress in technology. For example, in February 2022, Givaudan, a Switzerland-based manufacturer of food and flavors, introduced PrimeLock+, a groundbreaking fat encapsulation technology. This innovative technology is designed to reduce 30% of the calories and 75% of the fat content in meat substitutes. The advancements in fat encapsulation not only contribute to calorie and fat reduction but also enhance authenticity and flavor stabilization. This allows companies to create tastier, lower-fat, plant-based products such as burgers, sausages, and meatballs, ultimately improving the overall eating experience.
Major players in the food encapsulation market are concentrating on introducing next-generation solutions, including smart nanocarriers. Smart nanocarriers are transforming the field by providing a more intelligent and targeted approach to delivering drugs and other therapeutic agents. For instance, in November 2022, Nulixir Inc., a US-based business-to-business (B2B) nanobiotechnology company, launched nanovesicles. These smart nanocarriers, known as nanovesicles, are designed to enhance the bioavailability of functional ingredients, mask their flavors, and control their release kinetics in the body. Nanovesicles are revolutionizing the food and beverage industry by optimizing the functionality of ingredients and addressing consumer demands for cleaner, greener, and healthier products. The technology behind nanovesicles aims to tackle challenges such as taste, solubility, stability, and bioavailability of functional ingredients.
In February 2021, International Flavors & Fragrances, Inc. (IFF), a US-based producer of value-added ingredients, completed a merger with the Nutrition and Biosciences Business of DuPont in a deal valued at $7.3 billion. This strategic merger positions IFF to generate ingredients and solutions across various end-markets, including food and beverage, health and wellness, and home and personal care. DuPont Nutrition Biosciences, based in Denmark, is known for its development and production of food and beverage ingredients, enzymes, and bio-based solutions, with a focus on providing food encapsulation solutions as well.

Food encapsulation involves several key technologies, including microencapsulation, nanoencapsulation, hybrid technology, and macroencapsulation. Microencapsulation is a process designed to reduce volatility, adverse aroma, and reactivity of food products, providing increased stability when exposed to challenging conditions such as heat, light, or moisture. Various shell materials used in food encapsulation include polysaccharides, proteins, lipids, emulsifiers, and other substances. The core phases in food encapsulation encompass minerals, organic acids, vitamins, enzymes, probiotics, additives, essential oils, prebiotics, and other substances. These technologies find applications in diverse sectors such as dietary supplements, functional food products, bakery items, confectionery, beverages, dairy products, and other areas.
