Industrial Enzymes Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Type (Carbohydrases, Proteases, Lipases, Others), By Form (Dry, liquid), By Application (Food & Beverages, Bioethanol, Detergents, Feed, Other Applications) And Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

The traditional manufacturing process employs synthetic chemicals that facilitate the chemical reaction to produce the final product. These chemicals are non-biodegradable in nature and contribute to numerous health problems. As countries are adopting stringent measures to control pollution, industries are also looking forward to adopting biodegradable products and improving the quality of the products. This has led to the increasing adoption of industrial enzymes in the global market.

Compared to the traditional processes used in the industry, the use of enzymes helps to provide sustainability and improve production efficiency. They act as biocatalysts in commercial processing in various industries such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, detergent, and the dairy industry.

The addition of industrial enzymes helps to improve the production process as it increases the stability of the products used in the reaction. The addition of these enzymes also helps to reduce the consumption of energy as well as waste generation. As an ecological product, these enzymes are biodegradable and is recycled naturally in the environment.

Industrial enzymes, when used in food products, helps to improve the nutritional content in the product. For instance, in food industry, lipase is specifically used in developing flavors in specific cheese. Also, the enzyme lactase promotes the hydrolysis reaction in whey or milk products. These proteins based molecules help enhance the digestion process as it helps to break down complex molecules into simpler forms. In recent years, as the prevalence of the chronic disease among individuals are increasing rapidly, the demand for nutraceutical products is also rising. Therefore, the demand for industrial enzymes in nutraceuticals is increasing, as these products helps to simplify the production process.

The addition of industrial enzymes in food products helps in enhancing the efficiency of the products. They are also used in the preparation of cosmetics, shampoo, and other body care products. The proteins present in the enzymes help to maintain the gentleness of skin and ensure that the products are safe to use. They also improve the performance of skincare products.

In order to reduce the use of petroleum-based fuels, governments in different countries have adopted policies to incentivize the adoption of biofuels. As industrial enzymes promote the production of biofuels, the adoption of industrial enzymes for the production process have increased significantly.

Although these industrial enzymes facilitate the production process, the reaction needs to be performed in a controlled environment. These enzymes are sensitive to various physical as well as chemical changes which in turn affect the production of final products. This may act as a major restraining factor, thereby affecting the growth of the industrial enzymes market.

Key Players Covered:

The key players operating in the global industrial enzyme market are BASF, DuPont, Kerry Group, Novozymes, and DSM. Other players include Chr. Hansen, Kerry Group, Dyadic International, Advanced Enzymes, Chr. Hansen, Amano Enzymes, Megazyme, Aumgene Biosciences, Biocatalysts, Enzyme Supplies, Creative Enzymes, Enzyme Solutions, Enzymatic Deinking Technologies, Sunson Industry Group, MetGen, Denykem, and Tex Biosciences.

Among the various industries that use industrial enzymes for production, the demand for these enzymes in the food & beverage industry is increasing rapidly. The addition of enzymes such as food additives and other processing aid products helps to improve the quality and texture of the food products.

Among the various enzymes used in the production, the demand for carbohydrases is expected to register significant growth. Carbohydrases include products such as cellulose, lactases that can be used in food, detergents, and textile industries. These products are cost-effective and require less modification during its application stage.

Regional Analysis:

North American region dominated the global industrial enzymes market. As per United Nations Industrial Development Organization, UNIDO’s annual Competitive Industrial Performance (CIP) Index, the U.S. is one of the largest manufacturing countries in the world. With the increasing technological development, the demand for industrial enzymes used for the production process in various industries such as the animal feed industry, food & beverages, cosmetics and personal care products also increased. 

The Asia-pacific region is undergoing rapid industrial developments, especially in countries such as China and Japan. The increasing industrial developments in these regions have also contributed to the growing adoption of enzymes for the production process. Additionally, companies are developing new enzymes and production processes to suit the ever-increasing market requirements.
