Global Biocatalysis Market - 2023-2030

Global Biocatalysis Market - 2023-2030


The Global Biocatalysis Market reached US$ 608 million in 2022 and is projected to witness lucrative growth by reaching up to US$ 908 million by 2030. The market is growing at a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period 2023-2030.

Biocatalysis is gaining traction due to its eco-friendly nature. It reduces harsh chemicals and energy-intensive processes, reducing carbon emissions and waste generation. Biocatalysts are derived from renewable sources and operate under mild conditions, aligning with the growing demand for sustainable manufacturing practices.

The hydrolases type segment is expected to dominate the global liquid packaging market, which accounts for 45 % of the total market shares and is estimated to reach 47% by 2030.

Market Dynamics

Demand For Materials With The Less Environmental Impacts

The demand for sustainable materials is not only driven by environmental concerns but also by consumer preferences. Consumers are increasingly aware of the environmental impact of products and are willing to pay more for sustainable and eco-friendly products. Biocatalysis allows manufacturers to meet consumer demand while reducing their environmental impact.

The development of biocatalytic processes requires significant investment in research and development. However, as the demand for sustainable materials grows, biocatalysis costs are expected to decrease, making it a more viable option for manufacturers. In addition, biotechnology and genetic engineering advances are expected to improve biocatalytic processes' efficiency and versatility.

Drawbacks Related To Biocatalysis Hamper The Market

Some drawbacks of biocatalysis include the inability of biocatalysts to be designed, the stability limits of these catalysts and the scarcity of well-characterized, ready-to-use catalysts. The insufficient amounts of water required for the biocatalyst process is another drawback that is frequently brought up.

The unfolded polypeptide chain is highly mobile and capable of populating various conformations. It does not interact with itself often, though (low enthalpy). It will bind many water molecules in the solution, limiting their motion.

Thus, several energetically advantageous and disadvantageous) processes are involved in the conversion to the folded state. With free energies of folding in the range of 20–60 kJ mol1 (i.e., equivalent to a few hydrogen bonds), these typically balance out to be marginally good overall biocatalysis process.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The growing demand from the food, beverage and cosmetics industries positively impacts COVID-19 for the global biocatalysis market. Food and beverage operations are impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic because lockdowns and stay-at-home instructions have been issued in most countries.

The market has seen panic buying for food and daily necessities in many locations. Due to the widespread use of biocatalysis in these sectors, the operation directly restrains the expansion of the biocatalysis market during the pandemic.

Russia-Ukraine War Impact Analysis

The geopolitical situation can influence investment decisions and research priorities in the biocatalysis sector. Companies and research institutions may reassess their strategies and redirect resources away from regions affected by the conflict, potentially impacting innovation and market growth in those areas.

Artificial Intelligence Impact Analysis

AI technologies like machine learning and predictive modeling can optimize biocatalysis processes by analyzing experimental data and identifying optimal reaction conditions. AI algorithms can recognize patterns, identify bottlenecks and suggest process modifications, improving efficiency, productivity and cost-effectiveness.

Segment Analysis

The Global Biocatalysis Market is segmented based on type, source, application and region.

Oxidoreductase-Based Catalysis: Applications And Potential For Boosting Sustainability

The OXIPRO project, supported by the EU, will investigate oxidoreductases, a potential but underutilized method for boosting sustainability. Oxidoreductases are adaptable and have a wide range of uses, such as recovering value from trash, substituting healthy oxidizers and improving the look, feel and durability of consumer goods.

For a smooth transition to more environmentally friendly detergents, textiles, nutraceuticals and cosmetics, OXIPRO will jointly create an oxidoreductase foundry. To shorten the time OXIPRO solutions take to reach the market, the project will create advanced generic technology platforms based on enzyme intelligence and enzyme technologies. Hydrolases is the fastest growing segment with a CAGR of 5.8% globally.
