The global nanocapsules market size is estimated to register a considerable CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the enhanced facilities for disease treatment, targeted deliveries, and rising incidence of chronic diseases.
Nanocapsule refers to the extraction of nanoscale shell made from non-toxic polymer. These capsules have an inner desired liquid core at the nanoscale. This facilitates intensified delivery of bio-active molecules for targeted delivery. Some of the uses of nanocapsules are for self-healing materials including food enhancement, nutraceuticals, and promising medical applications for drug delivery.

Increasing incidence of chronic diseases globally have pushed to raise the demand for effective and novel drug delivery systems that can allow delivering the desired amount of drugs on the specific area at a given time. Cosmetics, food, healthcare, and agriculture industries among others constitute the major operating areas of nanocapsules.
Continuous research and development projects in the nanotechnology field is expected to help the market growth and provide a bunch of opportunities for various industries. These capsules deliver active ingredients at target areas, which forms one of the important advantages of nanocapsules. Rapid oxidation and pyrophoric properties provide other advantages. These properties present various challenges and opportunities for the development and commercialization of novel and improved therapies. The COVID-19 situation has largely impacted this industry as all the manufacturing firms and all the non-urgent outlets were shut down due to lockdown restrictions.
Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities
- Increasing number of patients suffering from chronic diseases globally is a key driver of the market.
- Wide engagement such as R&D activities for the development of effective and novel drug delivery systems are expected to boost the market growth in the coming years.
- Nanocapsules provide effective results while avoiding side effects. This has scaled up the adoption rate of the products among patients. This is a key driving factor of the market.
- Rapid advancement of new technology in the field of nano science is expected to provide a plethora of opportunities for the market expansion.
- Growing investments by several companies in research and commercialization of drug development activities are further expected to boost the market growth during the projected period.
