Enzymes
are proteins that catalyze chemical reactions and thus often replace chemicals
in products and industrial productions. Biotechnology could be traced back to
thousands of years ago when humans started to use yeasts to make liquor. This
may be the first dawn of biotechnology in food production. Along with the
development of natural and social sciences, nowadays, biotechnology carries more
colorful meanings.
Indian Enzyme Market
The Indian enzyme market is yet to find its feet, as
it is quite small when compared to the other sectors in the country. However,
the growing awareness about the capabilities of enzymes and the subsequent
benefits (both nutrition and cost-wise) will be important growth factors in the
coming years.

Increasing
demand from end-use industries such as food and beverage, biofuel, animal feed,
and home cleaning is projected to drive the market growth over the forecast
period. Increasing health awareness among consumers has resulted in the growing
consumption of functional food products, which is expected to propel the
product demand in the near future.

Growing
demand for high-quality food products along with natural taste and flavor
contributed to the market growth in the past decade. This trend fueled the
demand for the expansion of processed and flavored foods in the industrial
enzyme application segment.
These food enzymes act as catalysts in breaking
down nutrients and vitamins of complex compounds to smaller compounds. Growing
awareness concerning the application of enzymes in protein engineering technology
and high opportunities in untapped developing countries are projected to
positively influence market growth.
Protein
engineering is one of the new avenues for research and development application.
This the area involves invention and production of newer types of enzymes to catalyze
reactions that do not occur naturally. The industry is estimated to witness
increased demand due to its wide-ranging use across applications including food
processing, pre-digestion of baby foods, germination in breweries, fruit juice
clarification, cheese manufacturing, meat tenderization, and conversion of
starch into glucose.
Enzymes
are also witnessing increased demand in paper processing, biofuels, contact
lens cleaners, rubber processing, biological detergents, and molecular biology.
Increasing consumer awareness regarding improved food quality, population
explosion and significant consumption of dietary requirements are considered
to be the key factors contributing to the enzyme market growth.
Enzyme
products are used in more +30 industries. Here are a few of the examples below:
The
industrial enzymes market is valued at $5.9 billion in 2020 and with a CAGR
6.5% it will touch an estimated $8.7 billion by 2026. Consumers are willing to pay more for natural
products Compaction of laundry detergents remains a strong trend, driven by
increased sales through online retailers and the desire to reduce the use of
plastics Strong interest in freshness solutions for the removal of malodor and
grime, including in synthetics Growing interested in microbial cleaning and
bio-based solutions for softeners and dishwashing by hand.
Food & Beverages
The food enzymes market, at a CAGR of 6.9%, is
projected to be valued at $3.23 billion by 2023. Factors like better food quality,
rising demand for processed food and increased awareness about nutrition-rich
foods have contributed to the market’s growth. Growing consumer demand for high quality, healthy and
sustainable foods Consumers focus on brands using local and clean label
ingredients catering to local tastes, traditions, and cultures Continued focus
on yield enhancement solutions in agro-processing industries Strong interest
from emerging markets in production optimization solutions.
Specialty Enzymes
The
specialty enzymes market is evaluated at $4.4 billion in 2019 and at a CAGR of
6.9%, it should reach $6.6 billion by 2025. Growing demand for clean energy as climate change and
sustainability is high on public agendas Increase in global biofuel mandates
continues, driven by key emerging markets Strong pressure on US ethanol
industry due to low producer margins and high inventories.
Agriculture & Feed
In
2019, the global feed market was valued at $1.2 billion and is expected to rise
to $2 billion by 2025 with a CAGR of 9.1%. Agriculture affected by more frequent extreme weather
conditions Sustainable yield enhancement still in high demand as the world
population grows, putting pressure on the agricultural sector to produce more and
better products while minimizing negative environmental impact Increasing focus
on feed efficiency and animal health with less use of antibiotics Farmer
sensitivity to fluctuations in commodity prices.
The world needs to provide enough healthy, affordable, and sustainably produced food
for a growing population. Many enzyme products help farmers around the world
increase their crop productivity using products containing naturally occurring
microbes. Many of our Food & Beverages solutions contribute to reducing
food waste and making food production systems more sustainable.
Growth
driver Freshness platform Lifestyle changes are spurring demand for freshness. Consumers’
lifestyle changes are the drivers of growing hygiene needs.

more sustainable farming practices and focus on animal welfare. Growing calls
for reduced use of antibiotics in farm animals. Increased demand for food and
protein due to changes in dietary habits.
The huge scope of Enzyme Technology in
few main Industries
Textile
industry: Amylases enzyme is used as soÑ–ening agents
for starched clothes. Cellulases is useful for fabric finishing and oÑ–en used
for better dye uptake in cotton.
Leather
industry: Proteolytic enzymes are
used in dehairing of the skin and for soÑ–ening /plumping of detailed skin.
Detergent
industry: Proteases are efficient
in removing protein stains such as grass, blood, egg, and human sweat. Lipases
can easily break down lipid and protein-based stains. Amylases are efficient in
removing starch-based residues. Cellulase used in detergent causing restoring
fiber smoothness, its original color.
Pharmaceutical industry: Pegadamase bovine is employed for SCID treatment.
Pancreatic enzymes is effective against fat malabsorption in HIV patients.
Spinal injuries could be
treated with chondroitinases. Hyaluronidase aids in the rebuilding of damaged
nerve tissues. Lysozyme is used as an antibacterial agent and also possess
activity against HIV. Human melanoma and hepatocellular carcinomas could be
inhibited by PEGylated arginine deaminase.
Food industry: Amylase is added to the dough to ensure its quality and increased

Proteolytic enzymes help to increase the shelf life of meat and seafood.
Lipases used to control the lipid content of food products. Glucose oxidase and
catalase are used as food preservative agents.
Renin is used in the
manufacture of cheese. Lactase enzymes are applied in the making of ice cream,
yogurt, and frozen and invertase in the making of chocolate-covered berries and
candies. The glucose isomerase is used for the production of fructose and high fructose
