Food enzymes are biological catalysts produced from plants, animals, or microorganisms, which carry out specific functions in the manufacturing, processing, preparation, treatment, or storage of food and beverages. Increasing demand for processed food is one of the major driving factor for the global food enzymes market.

The global demand for processed foods is on the rise owing largely to the growing economies in the Asian continent. China and India are the major drivers behind the substantial growth of the processed foods market. The middle-class population is increasing and the rise in their disposable incomes, coupled with a hectic lifestyle, contribute to the growth of this market. Food enzyme applications extend the freshness of end products, thereby prolonging the shelf-life of convenience foods while also preserving their flavor, color, and texture.

Growing health awareness, continuously evolving technologies and advancements in food technology and increased demand in packed and baked food & beverages market due to the growing health conscious is fueling the demand for food enzymes in the market.

What’s Driving the Growth of Bakery Applications in the Food Enzymes Market

Enzymes have numerous applications in the food & beverage industry. They are used in a wide range of food products and have recorded rapid growth (and technological advancements) in the recent years. Bread comprises a combination of ingredients such as wheat flour, gluten lipids, starch, non-starch polysaccharides, and enzymes. The addition of enzymes to the dough of the bread helps to improvise the baking process. It also assists in avoiding early staling of bread, decreases production time, and acts as an alternative to chemical additives. Lipase enzyme is an enzyme that has recently found application in bakery products, when compared to protease and amylase, which have always been used in this sector. Although protease is a better enzyme for dough mixing process and for reducing the time of process, lipase is more preferable as it increases the shelf life of bakery products.

Opportunities in developing countries of Asia Pacific– The food enzymes market in the Asia-Pacific region is driven by increasing awareness, market potential for existing products, and unexplored application segments. However, enzyme technology requires huge investments that are unaffordable by smaller players and hence, currently many enzymes are imported from western countries. More than two-thirds of the food enzymes market in the Asia-Pacific region is import-dominated by multinational enzyme suppliers. Enzyme manufacturers should increase their investments in new product developments across the Asia-Pacific region.

 Asia-Pacific is an upcoming region for the food enzymes market. North America is projected to lead the global beverage, dairy, and bakery enzymes market due to the diverse consumption habits and health conscious attitude.
