Market Overview

Food enzymes market refers to the industry for enzymes that are used in the processing and production of foods, including bakery, dairy, beverages, and others. Enzymes are basically protein molecules that selectively catalyse chemical reactions as a part of essential life processes, including digestion, respiration, and metabolism in organisms. Enzymes have been used for centuries in food production, e.g., for cheese making, beer brewing, and dough leavening. Most of the enzymes used in industrial food processing are obtained by fermentation from microorganisms through more elaborate extraction processes. Advancement in technology including enzyme engineering and the introduction of genetically engineered enzymes are providing growth opportunities in the food industry sector. Benefits of food enzymes and technological innovations for reducing chemical consumption are driving the market. Innovation in technological platforms that provide an opportunity for producing programmable enzymes that can be scaled up to produce large volumes is escalating the market growth opportunity for food enzymes.
