The global enzymes market size is expected to reach USD 24,672.1 million by 2033, registering a CAGR of 6.6% from 2025 to 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The rising consumption of functional food products on the account of the increasing awareness regarding an individual’s health is likely to positively influence the product demand over the forecast period.
Carbohydrase is bifurcated as cellulose, amylase, pectinase, xylanase, and lactase. It is widely used as an ingredient in the formulation of carbonated drinks. The growing usage of different kinds of carbohydrases in the animal feed and pharmaceutical industry is further projected to boost the overall industry demand in the coming years.
In North America, the U.S. is dominating the market for enzymes across the region on the account of the changing consumer preferences and rising demand for organic and nutritional food items from the food & beverage industry. Furthermore, the escalating market growth from the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industry is anticipated to fuel the industry growth over the forecast period.
The market is an oligopolistic market with major players dominating the marketspace such as DSM, Novozymes, and DuPont Danisco among others. There is a significant rise in the demand for high-quality specialty enzymes across the globe. Thus, raw material distributors and manufacturers are witnessing a spike in lucrative opportunities to offer uniform and superior quality products via a systematic supply chain network.
