Industrial Enzymes Market Report 2026

The industrial enzymes market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $7.66 billion in 2025 to $8.19 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of food processing industry, expansion of textile manufacturing, early adoption of fermentation technologies, demand for cost efficient processing, growth of industrial biotechnology.

The industrial enzymes market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $10.39 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expansion of biofuel industry, rising demand for sustainable processing, advancements in enzyme engineering, growth of animal feed sector, increased industrial automation. Major trends in the forecast period include rising use in biofuel production, growing adoption in food processing, expansion of enzyme use in animal feed, increasing demand from textile processing, higher focus on enzyme efficiency optimization.

The rising demand in the food and beverage industry is expected to propel the growth of the industrial enzymes market going forward. The food and beverage industry includes all businesses involved in producing, processing, packaging, distributing, and selling food and drink products. Its expansion is driven by changing consumer preferences, globalization, technological advancements, e-commerce growth, increasing health and wellness awareness, sustainability initiatives, and evolving regulatory requirements. Industrial enzymes play a crucial role in this sector by improving product quality, extending shelf life, reducing production costs, and supporting clean-label formulations. For instance, in April 2024, according to media published by Convenience, total industry foodservice sales - including prepared foods, commissary items, and dispensed beverages - represented 25.6% of in-store sales in 2022, rising to 26.9% in 2023. Therefore, the rising demand in the food and beverage industry is driving the growth of the industrial enzymes market.

Major companies in the industrial enzymes market are focusing on developing innovative technologies such as high-efficiency cellulase enzymes to strengthen their product portfolios and maintain competitiveness. A high-efficiency cellulase enzyme is an optimized blend of enhanced cellulase components designed to break down cellulose into fermentable sugars more effectively and at a lower enzyme cost. For example, in May 2024, Bionetix International, a Canada-based biopharmaceutical company, introduced ECL3000, a new line of enzyme concentrates targeting cellulose found in plant cell walls and everyday materials such as food, textiles, and paper. ECL3000 is produced by non-pathogenic fungi, demonstrates robust enzymatic performance, and facilitates the breakdown of cellulose into smaller sugars such as glucose.

In March 2024, Novus International Inc., a US-based animal health and nutrition company, acquired BioResource International Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition enables Novus to expand its enzyme technology portfolio, enhance its animal nutrition offerings, and strengthen its position in the global market. BioResource International Inc. is a US-based company specializing in the research, development, and manufacture of enzyme feed additives for poultry.
