Food encapsulation is an essential part of novel food processing industries. It consists of various technologies depending on the food ingredients to be encapsulated. Food encapsulation is used to preserve food and also helps to retain nutrients, and enhance flavor and color of the food. Developments in microencapsulation and nanoencapsulation technologies enable controlled release and targeted delivery of ingredients. The changing consumer trends with increasing health awareness are driving the market for functional and fortified foods, which in turns boosts the food encapsulation market.

Microencapsulation is the most preferred shell material and has been widely used in food processing in packaged foods, as it enables more effective controlled release as compared to other encapsulation technologies. The growing demand for controlled release in the confectionery and functional food market is driving the growth of the food encapsulation industry to a major extent.

North America holds the maximum market share of the global food encapsulation technology market due to the technological advancements seen in the food industries. Consumers in North America are more health conscious due to awareness and health campaigns run by various organizations. Asia-Pacific and Europe are growing fast due to emerging technological leadership and increasing adoption among growing number of food industries. Awareness among the masses plays an important role in increasing the usage of encapsulation technologies.
