Rising Preference for Natural Plant-Based Ingredients Fuels the Asia Pacific Bromelain Market

Consumers are increasingly seeking products with natural additives and clean-label ingredients. Bromelain, a natural enzyme derived from the pineapple plant, is preferred as a natural additive over synthetic additives in various industries. Consumers are inclined toward consuming safer products that help them maintain overall health. The growing interest in chemical-free products boosts the demand for natural additives such as bromelain in industries such as pharmaceutical and nutraceuticals, food & beverages, and cosmetics.

Bromelain is a plant protease preferred by consumers over animal proteases, as they carry a lower risk of disease transmission. Moreover, environmental concerns; sustainability; lower prices; and animal welfare, religious, and ethical issues are among other parameters driving the popularity of bromelain. In some countries, the use of enzymes synthesized from recombinant technology is prohibited in the food industry. In several countries, animal proteases or microbial fermentation are subject to religious issues (such as Halal compliance), which can be avoided by using plant-based components. Thus, the rising preference for natural, plant-based ingredients is expected to create lucrative growth opportunities in the Asia Pacific bromelain market during the forecast period.
