Carbohydrase Global Market Report 2024

The carbohydrase market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.88 billion in 2023 to $4.22 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9%. The rise during the historical era can be ascribed to several factors such as heightened awareness, a surge in demand for digestive health goods, the necessity for longer shelf-life due to expanding global trade, an uptick in consumer preference for processed foods, and stricter environmental regulations.

The carbohydrase market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.0 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%. Forecast period, growth can be linked to a focus on sustainable enzyme production, the uptake of enzymatic techniques, increased employment of carbohydrases, and adjustments to evolving regulatory standards. Key trends anticipated in this period encompass optimizing bioprocesses, exploring microbial diversity, integrating circular economy principles, advancing biomedical innovations, and enhancing biocatalysis techniques.

The growth of the carbohydrase market is expected to be driven by the expanding food and beverage industry. This sector includes companies engaged in various aspects such as processing, manufacturing, packaging, and distributing food and beverage products. The expansion of this industry is fueled by factors such as changing consumer preferences, globalization, digitalization, e-commerce, health and wellness trends, sustainability, and urbanization. Carbohydrases play a crucial role in this sector by breaking down complex carbohydrates into simpler sugars, thereby improving flavor, texture, and nutritional value of food products. They find applications in baking, brewing, sweetener production, and the development of functional food ingredients. For example, according to the Department for Environment Food & Rural Affairs, in 2022, the food and drink sector in Great Britain employed 3.7 million people, marking a 3.6% increase from the previous year, with a gross value added (GVA) of £115.2 billion ($146.46 billion) in 2021, excluding agriculture and fishing. Consequently, the growth of the carbohydrase market is directly influenced by the expansion of the food and beverage industry.

Leading companies in the carbohydrase market are focusing on innovation to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their enzyme products. One such innovation is Agri-Biotech solutions, which involve genetically engineering plants or microorganisms to produce carbohydrases in higher quantities or with enhanced properties. For instance, CBS Bio Platforms, in collaboration with Canafa Solution Plt Ltd., introduced advanced agri-biotech solutions in India in May 2024. These solutions, such as Multi-Carbohydrase Enzyme Technology and Enhanced Yeast Technology, aim to optimize animal nutrition, improve gastrointestinal health, and enhance overall animal productivity.

In January 2023, Novus International Inc., a company specializing in animal health and nutrition based in the United States, purchased Agrivida Inc. for a sum not disclosed to the public. With this transaction, Novus gained control of Agrivida's exclusive INTERIUS technology, designed for incorporating feed additives directly into grains. Agrivida Inc., also situated in the United States, is a biotechnology firm focused on the development of feed enzymes, particularly carbohydrases.

Carbohydrases represent a category of enzymes responsible for breaking down carbohydrates into simpler sugars. Their function is vital in both the digestive systems of organisms and numerous industrial processes, facilitating the utilization of carbohydrates for energy and biological processes.

Alpha-amylase, beta-glucanase, cellulase, and other carbohydrases constitute the primary types within this group. Alpha-amylase, for instance, initiates the breakdown of starch molecules by hydrolyzing alpha-1,4-glycosidic linkages, yielding sugars such as maltose, maltotriose, and dextrins. These enzymes find applications across diverse sectors such as food and beverage, animal feed, pharmaceuticals, among others, and are accessible through various online and offline channels.
