The global Microencapsulation market is expected to develop USD 25.9 billion by 2030, at a compound annual increase in price (CAGR) of 10.3 % throughout the forecast period.
The global microencapsulation market is estimated to cross USD 22 billion by 2028. Increasing demand of controlled release system in pharmaceutical industry and fortified food products are driving the growth of global microencapsulation market. Microencapsulation is the process in which small droplets or particles are coated with continues film of polymeric material. The main purpose of microencapsulation is to provide protection, controlled release and core compatibility to the product. Microencapsulation is widely used in industries such as pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and food additives. However, it is most challenging technique for food industry due to the high price, which can lead to expensive final products.
Microencapsulation technique is majorly used by pharmaceutical industry due to the profitable business by manufacturers. Furthermore, other than drugs, proteins, peptides, and DNA & RNA molecules are also encapsulated in the pharmaceutical industry. Hence, pharmaceutical industry is also contributing to the global microencapsulation market. According to Journal of Polymer and Textiles Engineering, rising demand for environment friendly processing of textile had led to development of new technology such as microencapsulation. Microencapsulation for anti-microbial agents is also in demand for medical textiles and sportswear. Hence, it also contributes to the overall global microencapsulation market.
The global microencapsulation market is highly fragmented with the large number of players, but to sustain the market, constant research and development require in microencapsulation technologies. Though high cost of processing technologies and research & development resources hampers the global microencapsulation market growth.
