Amylase Market By Source (Microbes, Plants, Animals) , By Type (Alpha-amylase, Beta-amylase, Gamma-amylase) By End-use (Food and beverage, Textile, Paper and pulp, Pharmaceutical, Others) : Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2024-2033
The amylase market was valued at $2.7 billion in 2023, and is projected to reach $4.4 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 5.1% from 2024 to 2033.
Amylase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of starch into sugars, and helps in digestion of carbohydrates. This enzyme is majorly synthesized by pancreas and salivary glands. Owing to its ability to break down starches, it finds its application across various industries such as food & beverage, textiles, and paper. In the healthcare sector, amylase levels are measured to assess conditions such as pancreatitis and other digestive disorders.
The growth of the global amylase market is majorly driven by increase in consumer awareness about digestive health and the benefits of enzymes in improving digestion, which has increased the demand for amylase in dietary supplements and functional foods. Moreover, surge in demand for natural and clean label food products has led to the increased use of amylase as a natural additive for improving texture, flavor, and shelf life. In addition, it is used to enhance the quality and consistency of processed foods, such as bread, beer, and cereals, driving its demand in the food industry. Furthermore, increase in environmental concerns and need to adopt on sustainable practices in industries such as agriculture, textiles, paper, and biofuels have boosted the demand for amylase as a biodegradable and non-toxic solution. However, high cost of raw materials utilized in enzyme manufacturing, such as substrates and nutrients, acts as the key deterrent factor of the amylase market. On the contrary, the market is expected to witness lucrative growth opportunities due to ongoing R&D is focused on engineering amylase variants with improved stability, activity, and specificity under various conditions, broadening its application range.
The global amylase market is segmented on the basis of source, type, end use, and region. By source, the market is divided into microbes, plants, and animals. By type, the market is classified into alpha-amylase, beta-amylase, and gamma-amylase.
