Carbohydrases Market Report 2025

This Carbohydrases market report provides a comprehensive analysis of the market’s characteristics, size, and growth, including segmentation, regional and country-level breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends, and strategies. It also tracks historical and forecasted market growth across various geographies.

The carbohydrases market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.22 billion in 2024 to $4.62 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing awareness, demand for digestive health products, expansion of global trade requiring longer shelf-life, rising consumer demand for processed foods, and increasing environmental regulations.

The carbohydrases market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.55 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing emphasis on sustainable enzyme production, adoption of enzymatic processes, increasing use of carbohydrases, and adaptation to evolving regulatory frameworks. Major trends in the forecast period include bioprocess optimization, microbial diversity exploration, circular economy integration, biomedical innovations, and advanced biocatalysis.

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.
