Microencapsulation Market share will expand till 2020

Microencapsulation is a technology that allows controlled release of active ingredients by enclosing them in a protective shell. The nature and type of active ingredients varies with the type of application and end-user industry. Products such as fragrances, fertilizers, chemicals and others are typically microencapsulated in polymeric shells. Other products such as nutrients, food additives, drugs and food enzymes are microencapsulated in biocompatible shells. Materials required for the manufacture of shells include acacia gum, xanthan gum, alginates, chitosans, carrageenan and others. Microencapsulation of these active ingredients improves their properties such as slow release of fragrance, target drug delivery, etc. Additionally, this technology helps reduce the volume requirement of raw materials, thereby benefiting manufacturers. Technological innovations coupled with development of raw materials are key factors expected to open new avenues for the growth of the market over the next few years.

Key applications of microencapsulation can be segmented as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, household products, food additives and others. Pharmaceuticals was the largest application segment and accounted for over 65% of the total microencapsulation market in 2013. Usage of microencapsulation in pharmaceuticals helps achieve targeted drug delivery, masks chemical odors and enables sustained release of drugs for a long duration. This increases the bioavailability of drug molecules. Growth of the pharmaceuticals industry is expected to drive demand for microencapsulation. Furthermore, increasing demand for functional foods and household products is expected to boost the microencapsulation market during the forecast period. Microencapsulation of active ingredients such as antimicrobial agents, optical brighteners, fragrances and others in detergents and cleaning agents enhances product quality. Additionally, microencapsulated nutrients, dietary supplements, probiotics, preservatives and food enzymes enhance taste, texture, nutrient content and shelf life of food products. The growing purchasing power of people is anticipated to drive the demand for high performance detergents and fortified food products, which in turn, is expected to drive the demand for microencapsulation during the forecast period. However, the capital-intensive nature of research required to choose and develop the best-suited shell materials is expected to limit market growth during the forecast period. Increasing application scope of microencapsulation in paints & coatings in order to enhance their functionality is projected to offer opportunities for market players during the forecast period.

Together, North America and Europe accounted for more than 70% of the global microencapsulation market in 2013. The progressive and advanced healthcare industry in these regions has been responsible for the large-scale usage of microencapsulation technology in the field of pharmaceuticals. Additionally, microencapsulation technology is employed in biotechnological research for the treatment of genetic disorders through targeted DNA delivery. Furthermore, widespread consumer acceptance of household products and functional food additives in North America and Europe was reflected in the high geographic share of microencapsulation technology in the regions in 2013. However, Asia Pacific and Rest of the World are expected to experience an increase in the usage of microencapsulated products during the forecast period due to rising consumer awareness regarding the numerous benefits of this technology. Additionally, this increase in the usage of microencapsulated products can be ascribed to growing awareness about health & well-being among individuals coupled with rising purchasing power and changing retail and dietary preferences. Rapid growth of various manufacturing industries including pharmaceutical, surfactant and food, is expected to further fuel the demand for microencapsulation in these regions over the forecast period.

Key players in the microencapsulation market include Lipo Technologies, Encapsys, Microtek Laboratories, GAT Microencapsulation GmbH, Reed Pacific and Aveka Inc. These companies provide customized microencapsulation solutions to clients across various application industries. These companies microencapsulate a wide range of active ingredients within shells in order to enhance their functionality and provide optimum benefits to clients. Leading companies such as P&G, 3M, BASF, Nestle and Bayer CropScience employ this technology in order to microencapsulate active ingredients such as fragrances, adhesives, vitamins, food additives and agrochemicals, respectively.
