Why is Consumption of Industrial Enzymes Gaining Traction?

“Sustainability Trend & Growing Demand for Eco-friendly Products Pushing Demand for Clean-label Enzymes”

Growing demand for sustainable and renewable products is opening growth opportunities for industrial enzyme producers. Enzymatic hydrolysis is an important phase in the bioethanol manufacturing process, as it is where fermented sugars are obtained in the final fermentation process.

Biotechnology-based enzymes have long been recognized as a viable alternative to traditional chemicals and as a means of addressing issues associated with synthetic chemicals. Synthetic chemicals employed in industrial operations are hazardous to the environment.

Microorganisms-based enzymes, such as carbohydrases, have no negative environmental impact because they work under moderate settings, lowering energy usage and greenhouse gas emissions. Benzoate-free enzymes are utilized to boost the nutritional content of food and feed. Enzymes reduce water use, chemical waste, and by-product formation while offering little danger to humans and the environment. Plant-derived enzymes are thought to be cost-effective, safe, and environmentally friendly.

“Nanotechnology and Immobilization Technologies Increasing Application Areas of Industrial Enzymes”

Integration of nanotechnology coupled with immobilization is emerging as a notable industrial enzyme trend, which is set to boost the revenue growth of key producers in the coming ten years. Immobilization tactic includes the fixing or entrapping enzymes within solid support materials.

In sectors such as medical, food, and pharma the enzyme immobilization aids in easy and smooth recovery of both the enzyme and support materials. Cellulose enzymes are finding several applications such as in color extractions from fruit juices and pulps, color brightener and softener in detergent industry, and in treatment of biomass to improve the nutritional value of food.

What is Expected to Adversely Affect the Market for Industrial Enzymes?

“Fluctuations in Raw Material Prices and Sensitivity of Enzymes to Temperature & pH”

Contamination of industrial enzymes with other chemical components found in food and beverages might disrupt the chemical process, resulting in significant waste. As a result, the costs associated with using enzymes as a raw material increases. The high cost of raw materials needed in the production of industrial enzymes further impacts the prices of enzyme-based products.

Industrial enzyme market growth is also expected to be hampered by the high sensitivity of enzymes to temperature and pH, as well as product management security concerns. The lack of transparency in patent rules in certain countries is also anticipated to impact the industrial enzyme sales growth.
