Korean Personal Care Encapsulating Materials Market Overview:
Korean Personal Care Encapsulating Materials Market was valued at $25,268 thousand in 2016, and is expected to reach $59,880 thousand by 2023, registering a CAGR of 10.9% during the forecast period. Encapsulation is defined as a process of capturing the active agents within a carrier material. It is a beneficial method adopted for improving the delivery of bioactive molecules and living cells. Encapsulation is a technology used for completely enclosing, covering, and securing bioactive components using a physical barrier. Encapsulation technology is now well-developed and widely used in chemical, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, food, printing industries, and others.
The Korean personal care encapsulation materials market is driven by significant demand for personal care products such as shower and bath gels, anti-aging creams, and color cosmetics. Consumers in Korea link microencapsulation process with science-based fineness and enhanced performance. The perception of consumers that visible capsules means presence of beneficial actives is expected to boost the demand for encapsulation materials. In addition, formulators are driven by cost reduction targets attained by protecting fragrances and exclusive actives. The market growth is characterized by numerous opportunities to market players, owing to use of encapsulation materials by fragrance formulators.

In addition, use of multifunctional makeup, increase in demand for high-end color cosmetic products and efficient distribution channels, rise in preference for ecofriendly cosmetic products are expected to drive the color cosmetics market in Korea. Strong branding and advertising campaigns for color cosmetics are expected to fuel the demand for color cosmetics in Korea.
Encapsulation Materials Detailed Analysis
New wall materials have emerged in the recent years for spray drying microencapsulation. Investigations of other natural gums, such as mesquite gums and their shells & emulsification properties, have been reported. Mesquite gums offer higher encapsulation efficiency and better stability of oil/water emulsions as compared to gum acacia. Recent developments in complex shell formulations, such as introduction of aqueous two phase systems (ATPSs) have facilitated designing of double-encapsulated ingredients in a single spray drying step. Spray drying of multiple emulsions result in a double layered microcapsule, which can provide enhanced protection to sensitive materials such as flavor oils.
Personal care encapsulation materials manufacturers have to ensure that their materials comply with Chinese regulations. Manufacturers need to demonstrate that their products are toxicologically safe without using animal tests, as these are banned in the cosmetics industry.
The prominent players in the Korean personal care encapsulating materials market have strategically focused on product launches as their key strategy to gain significant shares in the market.

Analyst Review
Encapsulation is defined as a process of capturing the active agents within a carrier material. It is a beneficial method adopted for improving the delivery of bioactive molecules and living cells. Encapsulation is a technology used for completely enclosing, covering, and securing bioactive components using a physical barrier. Encapsulation technology is now well-developed and widely used in chemical, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, food, printing industries, and others.
The Korea encapsulation materials market is driven by expansion of personal care and cosmetic industries sector and high demand for good quality products in these industries. Polysaccharides and proteins are widely used in these applications. Increase in inclination of personal care companies towards natural products has led to the development of non-synthetic fragrances in the industry. High demand of encapsulation of scent among fragrance formulators to enable better retention of fragrances is anticipated to present new opportunities to manufacturers in Korea. However, global acceptance by consumers is expected to be one of the major challenges for the fragrance industry, which in turn is anticipated to hamper the growth of the Korean encapsulation materials market.
