The global industrial enzymes market size is anticipated to reach USD 12,434.3 million by 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.6% from 2026 to 2033. This is due to the growing demand for industrial enzymes in several applications such as animal feed, food & beverage, and nutraceutical. Increasing consumer awareness about health has resulted in the growing use of functional food products, which is expected to trigger product demand in the coming years.
Microorganisms are rapidly becoming a key source of enzymes, owing to their low production costs and easy availability of raw materials. End-use industries rely heavily on enzymes derived from microorganisms as they can be used to make a wide range of products. This, in turn, is anticipated to positively impact the demand for the industrial enzymes industry.
The demand is projected to be positively impacted over the forecast period by the rising consumption of functional food products due to the growing awareness of a person's health. Cellulose and amylase are the two subtypes of carbohydrate. It is frequently utilized as a component in the creation of carbonated beverages. Increased use of various types of carbohydrase in the pharmaceutical and animal feed industries would further increase demand for industrial enzymes in the coming years.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a positive impact on various end-use industries around the world, causing a supply-demand gap. The demand for the product in biofuel and textiles was moderately impacted by a demand-supply gap combined with the global lockdown of the automotive industry. However, the market experienced positive demand during the pandemic due to the increased adoption of enzymes in various industries such as animal feed, food, and cleaning products.
