These suppliers have their manufacturing facilities spread across various countries across Asia Pacific, Europe, North America, South America, and RoW. COVID-19 has impacted their businesses as well. Though this pandemic situation has impacted their businesses as well, there is no significant impact on the global operations and supply chain of their microencapsulation products. Multiple manufacturing facilities of players are still in operation.

Market Dynamics

Driver: Increase in demand for fortified food products with health benefits

The demand for microencapsulation is increasing with the growth in demand for functional and fortified food & pharmaceutical products. Microencapsulation provides integration of minerals, vitamins, flavors, essential oils, and other additives in food products to enhance the functional properties of products. The pharmaceutical sector is also greatly influenced by microencapsulation technologies due to the benefits achieved by the manufacturers. Along with the encapsulation of drugs, other active ingredients such as peptides, proteins, and DNA/RNA molecules are also encapsulated in the pharmaceutical sector to meet the market demand for value-added products.

Restraint: Competition for basic raw material

Although a large number of market players have adopted the microencapsulation technology in various industries, constant R&D is required to sustain in the market. The high cost of R&D resources, along with the processing technology, is hindering the market growth. The development of microencapsulated material is sometimes customized, and at times is required to be carried out at an industrial scale instead of a pilot scale. This increases the processing cost of products and ultimately leads to an increase in their cost.

Opportunities: Development of advanced technologies to tap niche markets

With the increasing demand for microencapsulated products, significant R&D activities are being carried out by various companies in the market; this has been aiding the growth of the microencapsulation market sufficiently. New technologies are required in microencapsulation to tap niche markets such as the use of PCMs in energy application and cancer & brain tumor-specific drug delivery. The market players in PCMs are working on new product developments, microencapsulation technologies, improvement in latent heat storage capacity, as well as evaluation of different phase change temperature options, to enhance the performance of their products. However, no technologies are available for the use of microencapsulated PCMs above 500°C (932°F), which is required in the energy sector. Therefore, addressing this need is expected to provide opportunities for the market.
