INSIGHTS BY TYPE
The carbohydrase segment is expected to reach close to USD 3 billion by 2025. Over 80% of vendors offer a minimum one form of carbohydrase such as amylase, xylanase, cellulase, pectinase that are eventually supporting for the leadership position. Amylase is considered to be a universal enzyme finding applications in food and beverage, biofuel, cleaning agents sectors. While pectinases are more prevalent in poultry feed, xylanases are the preferred choice for pre-bleaching of Kraft pulp. North America was the largest market for carbohydrase in 2019, accounting for 28% of the total share. The protease was the largest segment of the industrial enzymes market in 2019, accounting for 32.22% of the total share. Brewing, meat tenderization, baking, and milk coagulation, where plant-based protease is gaining momentum, are some of the major applications.
Lipases are considered one of the fastest-growing enzyme segments, growing at a CAGR of over 6% during the forecast period. With advances in molecular technology, lipases are increasingly preferred as biocatalysts in several industries. High reaction rates and promising scope for enzymes in biofuel, wastewater treatment, and synthesis of complex compounds in the cosmetics industry are expected to support the growth in the next five years. Phytases are a vital contributor for phosphate-free products, primarily in the cleaning industry in North America and Europe. With the new formulations of phytases being undertaken by vendors, microbes tend to be the major source for the enzyme, especially for the application in the food and beverage industry.
INSIGHTS BY END-USERS
The food and beverage industry was the largest industry with a wide range of applications. Pectinases, xylanases, cellulases, and other carbohydrase continue to find adoption in the ever-expanding food and beverage trends. With the advent of lactose-free dairy products and plant-based alternatives, growth opportunities have further widened. The segment is expected to reach USD 2.00 billion by 2025. North America and the European region are considered as forerunners in adopting the latest food trends that are expected to grow during the forecast period.
The rise in disposable income and awareness and shelfing of biological detergents have replaced traditional non-biological detergents in major economies of China, the US, and other European countries. With subsequent innovations in the detergent segment and preference for concentrated liquids, they seem to be a prominent industry for the growth of industrial enzymes. Similarly, the rise in meat consumption and improvement in animal health are major criteria expected to stimulate growth in the animal feed industry.
INSIGHTS BY SOURCE
Based on the source, microorganisms were the major revenue contributor, generating USD 3.68 billion in 2019. Fungi tend to dominate the segment where species such as Aspergillus are utilized for extracting protease, which is the widely used industrial enzyme in 2019. Microbes are also the primary mode of choice for industries with respect to food preservation, stable composition requirements, affordability, and taste enhancements. The segment is expected to pose an absolute growth of 48% in APAC and 41% in Europe by 2025. The Middle East and Africa region are also likely to generate incremental revenue of USD 100 million during the forecast period.
Plant-based sources were the second-largest segment as they find a wide application in food & beverage, biofuels, and cleaning agents. The papain enzyme from papaya has unique benefits that can find adoption in functional foods and beverages. Plant-based ingredients, including enzymes such as protease and lipases, are also the major contributors to plant-based foods, drinks especially inclined towards vegan consumers. The segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 5%. APAC is the fastest-growing region for this segment and is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 6%. With the concept of green cosmetics booming in North America and Europe, they are expected to pose a promising growth during the forecast period.
Animal-based sources accounted for over 13% of the global revenue in 2019. The segment is expected to generate incremental revenue of USD 260 million during the forecast period. While Latin America accounted for over 14% of the revenue share, the Middle East and Africa region is expected to generate incremental revenue of USD 19 million during the forecast period.
INSIGHTS BY GEOGRAPHY
North America was the largest market for industrial enzymes in 2019, valued at USD 1.60 billion. The US is the major driver, with an increased demand for industrial enzymes, and is likely to contribute to the market growth post-2020 following the supply chain disruption due to COVID-19. Vendors are recommended to focus on intensifying the distribution toward their end-user industries to maintain their market share. The region is expected to remain as the leader during the forecast period, where it is expected to generate over USD 2 billion by the end of 2025. Stringent regulations, dynamic food and beverage trends, policies for biofuel production, and a strong presence of global players are propelling the growth of the region.
INSIGHTS BY VENDORS
The global industrial enzymes market is fragmented, with many international and domestic vendors in each geography.
