Food encapsulation has various benefits. In addition to maintaining the nutritional value of food, it also prevents oxidation. Food manufacturers use encapsulation technology to protect volatile ingredients. They can protect volatile flavors and improve shelf life. Encapsulated products are also odorless and resistant to insect and microbial formations. It is the most popular method of encapsulation. In regions such as Germany, the increasing prevalence of biotechnology companies has increased the usage of encapsulation. For instance, according to PharmiWeb, in 2019, there were around 660 dedicated biotech companies in Germany.

The global Food Encapsulation Market is projected to surpass US$ 10 billion by the end of 2027, in terms of revenue, growing at CAGR of 9.5% during the forecast period (2019 to 2027).

Rising health consciousness and improving lifestyles are driving the demand in the food encapsulation industry. Moreover, the increasing disposable income and preference for healthier food products are fueling the usage of the encapsulation industry. In encapsulation the most common type of shell material used is polysaccharides. These polysaccharides play an important role in the microstructure and protect sensitive oils. They are widely preferred by food manufacturers as they offer several textures and are chemically modified. In addition, polysaccharides are the most suitable building blocks for delivery systems.

The end-products of  encapsulation are expected to be improved in the areas of quality, flavor, and aftertaste. Further, manufacturers are exploring the benefits of encapsulation in order to meet these demands. The encapsulation particles are released into the environment through a process of controlled release. During this process, the active ingredients remain at the target site for a longer period of time. The encapsulated particles are stored at low temperatures below the melting point of the coating. During the cooking or preparation, the particles are heated to a temperature above their melting point. Then, the product is ready for consumption. It has numerous benefits for consumers.
