Product Insights

Based on the Product, the carbohydrases product segment leads the industrial enzymes market accounting for more than 48% revenue share in 2023, and is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period. Carbohydrase enzymes are used in a variety of applications, such as pharmaceuticals, animal feed, and food and drinks. Carbohydrases are primarily used as a catalyst for the conversion of carbohydrates, such as fructose and glucose, into sugar syrup, which is then used in the pharmaceutical food, and beverage sectors.

Protease is another well-known product that is used in the food, pharmaceutical, detergent, animal feed, chemical, and photography industries for protein breakdown, catalytic hydrolysis of protein peptides to amino acids, and a variety of other uses. Serine, threonine, cysteine, aspartate, papain, glutamic acid, and metalloproteases are the most common forms of proteases.

Consumer awareness of deteriorating nutrition levels has boosted worldwide protein consumption, which is likely to boost demand for proteases in the food industry during the forecast period. Furthermore, the pharmaceutical, detergent, and chemical end-use sectors are predicted to increase in emerging nations such as China, India, and Brazil, boosting segment growth over the projection period.

Source Insights

Based on the Source, the Industrial Enzymes Market is divided into Plants, Animals, and Microorganisms. The microorganisms source segment has accounted for more than 82% of revenue share in 2023 and is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period. Bacterial, fungal, and yeast enzymes are the three types of microorganism-based enzymes. Phenol oxidases, esterases, and hydrolases are among the industrial enzymes derived from mushrooms. Bacillus is the most common source of bacterial enzymes. Detergents, pharmaceuticals, and the food and beverage industries use the bulk of industrial enzymes. Due to its increasing use in a variety of end-use industries, fungi-based products are a popular choice. Fungal enzymes have a wide range of applications since they are used in the manufacturing and preparation of a wide range of foods, including beer, soy sauce, dairy products, processed fruits, and baked goods.

In addition to fruits and vegetables, industrial enzymes can be found in a variety of foods. Plant-based foods are high in enzymes and can be ingested without the need to be processed or cooked. Bromelain is in high demand since it is utilized as an anti-inflammatory agent, aids in protein digestion, and aids in wound debridement. Plant-based foods are in high demand because they alleviate stress on the small intestine by speeding up digestion.

The pancreas and stomach of cattle and swine are the most common sources of animal-based. These only work within a narrow pH range, rendering them useless in the gastrointestinal tract. In an acidic (low pH level) environment, these enzymes become unsteady, resulting in their death before the required function is completed. As a result, animal-based enzymes are supplied to the body within a protective enteric coating that can withstand stomach acidity.

Application Insights

Based on the Application, the food & beverages application segment leads the industrial enzymes market accounting for more than 23% of revenue share in 2023 and is estimated to grow significantly in the upcoming years. Industrial enzymes are essential in the production of nutrient-dense foods and beverages. Cheese processing, fruit and vegetable processing, fats and oils processing, grain processing, protein processing, and other food processing sectors such as baking, dairy, cereal extraction, and brewing require customized solutions and unique enzyme products. Food and beverage manufacturers can use specialized enzyme solutions to improve the quality of their end goods, increase yield, optimize resources, minimize prices, reduce pollution, and reduce waste.

Amylases, lipases, and proteases are commonly utilized in detergent formulations, making detergents the second-largest application segment. Protease enzymes are most commonly found in laundry detergents. They assist in the removal of protein stains such as grass, blood, eggs, and human perspiration. Amylases are frequently used to remove deposits from starchy foods including spaghetti, mashed potatoes, custards, gravies, oatmeal porridge, and chocolate. Laundry detergents and chlorine-free dishwashing detergents both include these enzymes. Lipases are also commonly used to remove greasy stains such as salad oil, frying fats, butter, lipstick, difficult stains on collars and cuffs, and sauces.

Enzymes are also important in the conversion of cellulosic biomass to cellulosic ethanol. The rising rate of fossil fuel depletion, as well as the growing need for green alternatives is expected to boost demand for biofuels, which will drive product demand over the projection period. Lipases, phospholipases, and cellulases are the most common enzymes employed in the biofuel industry.
