The global enzymes market size was valued at USD 12.27 Billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 21.63 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period 2023 - 2031. Enzymes are proteins that help in speeding up metabolism, or chemical reaction in bodies of humans, plants, as well as animals. All living organisms produce enzymes by themselves.
Additionally, enzymes are found in manufactured food and products. Enzymes are used in various industries such as agriculture, cosmetics, food, and pharmaceutical industries for the purpose of controlling and speed up reactions in order to quickly and accurately obtain valuable final products. Enzymes are majorly used in the production of cheese, baking bread, brewing beer, extracting fruit juices, tanning leather, and in other production processes.

In terms of products, the enzymes market is segmented into protease [trypsins (API and non-API), and others, carbohydras, lipase, polymerase and nuclease, and others. The carbohydrase is further segmented into amylases, glucanases, cellulases, and others. The others segment is further split into pectinases, lactases, mannanases, and pullulanases.
The carbohydrase segment held a large share of the market in 2020 and is expected to continue to grow in the forecast period, due to its increasing usage for producing sugar and other food products as well as in detergents. The sugar is further processed to form sugar syrups (which include glucose and fructose) for use in food & beverage and pharmaceutical industries.
Carbohydras is used to produce artificial sweeteners such as isomaltulose found in wine, juices, and prebiotic products. Apart from this, the other uses of carbohydras include animal feed, paper, textile, and biofuel, which are helping the segment to grow.
On the basis of sources, the enzymes market is segregated into microorganisms, plants, and animals. The plants segment held an extensive share of the market in 2020 and is estimated to grow in the forecast period. The growth in the plant segment is attributed to emergence of advanced purification technologies.
Moreover, plant sources require less investment for producing enzymes as compared to microorganisms and animal sources, which is expected to boost the segment during the forecast period.
In terms of reactions, the enzymes market is segregated into hydrolase, oxidoreductase, transferase, lyase, and others. The transferase segment is anticipated to grow, due to its transferring property. Transferase transfers one substrate to another substrate such as acetyl, methyl, amino, and phosphoryl groups.
Moreover, transferase enzymes are involved in fructose (fructose polymer) production as food ingredients, which is beneficial for gut bacteria. These enzymes help in biosynthesis of oligosaccharides, glycoconjugates, and polysaccharides, which help the segment to grow in the anticipated time period.
Based on applications, the enzymes market is fragmented into industrial enzymes (including food & beverages, detergents, animal feed, biofuels, textiles, pulp & paper, nutraceutical, personal care & cosmetics, wastewater, and others), and specialty enzymes (including pharmaceutical, research & biotechnology, diagnostics, and biocatalysts).
The specialty enzymes segment constituted a significant market share in 2020 and is projected to expand at a rapid rate during the forecast period. Growth of the specialty enzymes segment is associated with growing demand and adoption of products containing enzymes over petrochemicals that are hazardous to environment.
Pharmaceutical and biotechnology are the fastest growing sub-segments in the specialty enzymes segment, due to increasing use of these enzymes in drug formulation and API synthesis for treating diseases such as AIDS and cancer. Various research and development activities are helping the market to grow in the near future.
In terms of regions, the enzymes market is split into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. North America constituted a significant share of the market in 2020, due to mergers and acquisitions conducted by key market players.
The market in North America is projected to expand at a significant CAGR during the forecast period, due to the presence of large players in the market, ongoing research and development activities in the region, and increasing initiatives and support by governments in promoting biofuel production such as cellulosic biofuel, biodiesel, and advanced biofuel.
Key players in the global enzymes market include AB Enzymes, Advanced Enzyme Technologies, Amano Enzyme Inc, BASF SE, BBI Solutions, Biocatalysts, BioResource International, Inc, Chr. Hansen Holding A/S, Codexis, DuPont, Enzyme Development Corporation, and Novazymes.
These players engage in mergers & acquisitions, collaborations, agreements, and partnerships to strengthen their geographical presence.
