Pectinases Global Market Report 2024

Pectinases encompass a group of enzymes responsible for catalyzing the breakdown of pectin, a polysaccharide present in plant cell walls. These enzymes facilitate the degradation of pectin by hydrolyzing its glycosidic bonds, thereby depolymerizing the pectin structure. In the food and beverage industry, pectinases play a crucial role in clarifying fruit juices, improving extraction processes, and enhancing the texture of diverse products.

The primary types of pectinases include pectin lyases, protopectinases, polygalacturonases, and pectinesterase, among others. These enzymes are sourced from bacteria, fungi, plants, and other origins, available in forms such as powders, liquids, and granules. They find application in fruit juice extraction, wine production, food processing, and various sectors including food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, textiles, agriculture, and others.

The pectinases market research report is one of a series of new reports that provides pectinases market statistics, including pectinases industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a pectinases market share, detailed pectinases market segments, market trends, and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the pectinases industry. This pectinases research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.

The pectinase market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $17.02 billion in 2023 to $18.66 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6%. The growth observed in the historic period can be attributed to several factors including the increasing production of fruits and vegetables, rising volumes of juice and wine production, expansion in the dairy industry, growth of the food and beverage sector, and rising consumer demand for organic and natural products.

The pectinase market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $27.16 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.8%. The growth expected in the forecast period is due to several factors, rising consumer demand for natural and clean-label products, increased demand for processed foods, growing popularity of wine and beer consumption, and increasing population and urbanization. Key trends during this period include innovations in fermentation technology, the adoption of advanced enzyme formulations, automation and process integration, advancements in biotechnology and genetic engineering, agricultural advancements, and improvements in food processing technologies.

The growing demand from the food and beverage industry is expected to drive the growth of the pectinases market. The food and beverage industry includes companies that process raw agricultural commodities and semi-processed food products into consumable items. This demand for pectinases is fueled by the rising production of fruit juices and wine, enhanced flavors and textures, and the increasing popularity of plant-based beverages. Pectinases provide significant benefits to this industry by improving product quality, enhancing process efficiency, and contributing to cost savings, all while ensuring the production of high-quality, appealing, and stable products. For example, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, food and non-alcoholic drink sales in Australia increased from 14.8 million metric tons in 2020-21 to 15.1 million tons in 2021-2022. Therefore, the growing demand from the food and beverage industry is propelling the pectinases market.

The rising incidence of digestive diseases is also expected to drive the growth of the pectinases market. Digestive diseases, also known as gastrointestinal (GI) diseases or disorders, include conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and celiac disease. The increasing prevalence of these diseases is linked to dietary shifts toward processed foods, high-fat diets, and low-fiber intake. Pectinase enzymes support digestive health by improving the breakdown and absorption of dietary fibers, promoting a balanced gut microbiome, reducing digestive discomfort, aiding in the management of various digestive disorders, and enhancing overall digestive wellness. For instance, the National Center for Biotechnology Information reported that the number of Canadians experiencing IBD in 2023 was around 320,000, and this figure is expected to rise to 470,000 by 2035. Consequently, the increase in digestive diseases is driving the pectinases market.
