Protein Hydrolysis Enzymes Global Market Report 2024

The protein hydrolysis enzymes market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.13 billion in 2023 to $2.27 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to factors such as the expansion of the food and beverage industry, increased applications in the pharmaceutical sector, growth in research and development activities, the rise of the dietary supplements market, an aging population, and regulatory support in the use of protein hydrolysis enzymes.

The protein hydrolysis enzymes market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.9 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as the increasing adoption of vegan and plant-based diets, shifts in consumer lifestyles, the clean label movement, the demand for increased allergen-free options, evolving global protein consumption patterns, and a growing focus on sustainable sourcing of protein hydrolysis enzymes. Major trends expected in the forecast period include advancements in enzyme engineering and optimization, technological innovations in enzyme production, the development of customized enzyme solutions, strategic collaborations and partnerships, and a heightened emphasis on sustainability in enzyme production processes.

The protein hydrolysis enzymes market is poised for growth, driven by the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases. Chronic diseases, characterized by persistent or long-lasting health conditions, are on the rise. Protein hydrolysis, facilitated by enzymes, produces physiologically active peptides that play a crucial role in modulating antioxidant enzymes. This modulation is a pivotal control point in the body's pro-inflammatory processes, making protein hydrolysis enzymes in demand. For instance, the American Cancer Society reported an estimated 1.9 million new cancer cases and 609,360 cancer deaths in the United States in 2022. With approximately 1,670 fatalities daily, the escalating prevalence of chronic diseases is a significant factor propelling the protein hydrolysis enzymes market.

The growth of the protein hydrolysis enzymes market is further expected to be boosted by the rise in vegetarianism. Vegetarianism, marked by the avoidance of meat consumption, including red meat, poultry, and seafood, is gaining traction. Vegetarians rely on plant-based foods for nutrition, and protein hydrolysis enzymes are instrumental in breaking down plant proteins into smaller, easily absorbable peptides. This enzymatic process enhances the nutritional value and digestibility of vegetarian proteins, aligning with the preferences of a growing vegetarian population. According to Deals on Health, 22% of the global population identified as vegetarians in January 2022. Consequently, the surge in vegetarianism is a driving force for the protein hydrolysis enzymes market.

A key trend in the protein hydrolysis enzymes market is technological advancement. Major companies in this market are investing in developing new technologies to maintain their competitive positions. In November 2021, Biocatalysts Ltd., a UK-based biotechnology company, introduced Promod® 324L, a cutting-edge enzyme designed for the pet food industry. This enzyme boasts broad substrate specificity, demonstrating efficacy in the hydrolysis of both animal and fish proteins. The enzymatic breakdown enhances the solubility and viscosity of animal protein, making it more manageable in processing.

Companies in the protein hydrolysis enzymes market are also adopting dairy alternatives, such as oat-based alternatives, supported by enzymatic solutions. These enzymes break down oat proteins into smaller peptides, improving bioavailability and absorbability. Royal DSM, a Netherlands-based chemicals company, extended its DelvoPlant enzyme portfolio with DelvoPlant Go for oat-based dairy alternatives in September 2022. This enzyme solution streamlines the production of oat-based products, offering efficiency gains and resource savings.

In March 2021, Novozymes, a Denmark-based biotechnology company, acquired Biota, a US-based genomics company specializing in industrial markets, including protein hydrolysis enzymes. This acquisition enhances Novozymes' expertise in microbiomes, contributing to its leadership in the protein hydrolysis enzymes market.

Major companies operating in the protein hydrolysis enzymes market report are Novozymes A/S, Royal DSM, DuPont de Nemours Inc., AB Enzymes GmbH, Advanced Enzyme Technologies, Dyadic International Inc., Jiangsu Boli Bioproducts Co.
