Market Overview

Enzymes or bacteria found in living things, including plants, animals, and microorganisms, are referred to as biocatalysts. In a live organism, they help alter or enhance the rate of a chemical process. In addition to being organic and biodegradable, they have a high catalytic efficiency and can operate in moderate environments. Biocatalysts have been popular in Japan in recent years because of their widespread use in the pharmaceutical sector to make vitamins, amino acids, statins, and antibodies. The substantial growth in the biotechnology sector is one of the main factors propelling the Japanese market. Furthermore, because biocatalysts are environmentally friendly, they are being widely used in Japan for a wide range of commercial and industrial applications, which is improving the market outlook. Apart from this, the demand for biocatalysts is rising in a number of industrial verticals, including food and beverage (F&B), starch processing, detergents, and textiles, as a result of growing awareness in Japan about the benefits of these materials and their environmental sustainability.

Driving Factors

The pharmaceutical industries in Japan are heavily depends upon the biocatalyst for the manufacturing of active pharmaceutical ingredients & intermediate. Japan's biopharmaceutical sector, which includes the manufacturing of therapeutic proteins, antibodies, and pharmaceutical intermediates, is expanding rapidly. Since biocatalysts make it possible to synthesize, modify, and purify biologically active chemicals efficiently, they are essential to these processes in Japan. Biocatalyst usage in this industry is being driven by Japan's growing need for biopharmaceuticals. Furthermore, biocatalysts in Japan provide a greener substitute for conventional chemical catalysts. Because they are made from renewable resources and typically function in mild reaction settings, they use less energy and produce less trash. Additionally, the need for plant-based biocatalysts in Japan has also been significantly driven by consumer awareness and the desire for sustainable products. Japanese consumers are actively looking for plant-based substitutes as they grow increasingly aware of the effects that the items they use have on the environment and their health. Japanese customers are increasingly choosing products manufactured with sustainable and plant-derived materials, whether they be plant-based foods, cosmetics, or personal care items. Furthermore, approximately 17.6 kilograms of yogurt are consumed annually per person in Japan. The demand for Japan's biocatalyst market is being driven further by the rising use of yogurt and other fermented foods made with biocatalysts.

Restraining Factors

The extensive use of biocatalysts may be restricted by high production costs, particularly in sectors where consumers are price-sensitive.

Market Segmentation

The Japan biocatalyst market share is classified into source and end-use industry.

• The micro-organism management segment is expected to hold a significant market share through the forecast period.

The Japan biocatalyst market is segmented by source into plant, animal, and micro-organism. Among these, the micro-organism segment is expected to hold a significant market share through the forecast period. Comparing microorganism-based biocatalysts to conventional chemical catalysts reveals a number of benefits. They are frequently more efficient, ecologically friendly, and focused.

• The food and beverage channel segment is expected to dominate the Japan biocatalyst market during the forecast period.       

Based on the end-use industry, the Japan biocatalyst market is divided into pharmaceutical, food and beverage, water treatment, and biofuel. Among these, the food and beverage segment is expected to dominate the Japan biocatalyst market during the forecast period. A variety of dairy products are produced using biocatalysts. In cheesemaking, milk proteins are coagulated by enzymes such as rennet, which facilitate the development of curd and its separation from whey. Another crucial enzyme that breaks down lactose in milk so that people who are lactose intolerant can consume it is lactase.
