The growing demand within the food and beverage industry is expected to drive the expansion of the industrial enzymes market. The food and beverage industry includes all businesses involved in the production, processing, packaging, distribution, and sale of food and drink products. This industry's growth is fueled by factors such as evolving consumer preferences, globalization, technological innovations, the rise of e-commerce, health and wellness trends, sustainability efforts, and regulatory influences. Industrial enzymes play a crucial role in improving product quality, extending shelf life, enhancing cost-efficiency, and supporting clean label initiatives within the food and beverage sector. For example, in April 2024, media from Convenience, a US-based organization, reported that in 2022, total foodservice sales (including prepared foods, commissary items, and dispensed beverages) accounted for 25.6% of in-store sales, which increased to 26.9% in 2023. Consequently, the growing demand within the food and beverage industry is contributing to the growth of the industrial enzymes market.

Key players in the industrial enzymes market are prioritizing the development of innovative technologies, such as high-efficiency cellulase enzymes, to diversify their offerings and maintain competitiveness. High-efficiency cellulase enzymes are optimized blends of cellulase components that effectively break down cellulose into fermentable sugars at a reduced enzyme cost. For example, in May 2024, Bionetix International, a Canada-based biopharmaceutical company, introduced a new line of enzyme concentrates named ECL3000. Targeting cellulose, a complex carbohydrate found in plant cell walls and various everyday items such as food, clothing, and paper, ECL3000 is a high-efficiency cellulase enzyme produced by non-pathogenic fungi. It exhibits robust performance in cellulose breakdown, yielding smaller sugars such as glucose.

In March 2024, Novus International Inc., a US-based animal health and nutrition company, completed the acquisition of BioResource International Inc. for an undisclosed sum. Through this acquisition, Novus aims to expand its portfolio and enzyme technology capabilities, bolster its offerings in animal nutrition solutions, and fortify its market position. BioResource International Inc. is a US-based enterprise specializing in researching, developing, and manufacturing enzyme feed additives for poultry.
