Biocatalysis Market Dynamics

Demand For Materials With The Less Environmental Impacts

Biocatalysis is a process that uses enzymes and other biological catalysts to facilitate chemical reactions. The process is gaining attention due to its ability to produce materials with less environmental impact compared to traditional chemical processes. The demand for sustainable materials and products is growing and biocatalysis offers a solution to meet this demand.

The traditional chemical processes used to manufacture materials often rely on non-renewable resources, generate large amounts of waste and contribute to environmental pollution. Conversely, biocatalysis uses renewable resources such as agricultural waste, plant-based oils and microorganisms to produce materials. This process generates less waste and has lower energy requirements, reducing the environmental impact of manufacturing.

Drawbacks Related To Biocatalysis Hamper The Market

Biocatalysis such as horseradish peroxidase and laccase has been used to remove aqueous recalcitrant pollutants due to their high efficiency, low cost and no secondary contamination.

However, their application has been limited by low stability and poor reusability of the free enzymes. Biocatalysis has disadvantages such as limited operating regions, substrate inhibition, product inhibition, aqueous solution reactions and peaceful environments.

Additionally, biocatalysts’ protein molecules are unstable in aqueous media and many enzymes are cofactor-dependent. All these factors are limiting the biocatalysis market growth during the forecast period.

COVID-19 Impact on Biocatalysis Market

COVID Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked devastation worldwide, with over 55 million infections reported so far – and counting. Several countries in Europe have been afflicted by the second and even third waves, resulting in lockdowns. At the same time, the pandemic has been kept under control in China and Southeast Asian nations like Singapore. The U.S. is among the world's worst-affected countries and the number of patients is on the rise till October 2021.

AI Impact

AI can aid in discovering and designing novel enzymes with enhanced catalytic properties. Machine learning algorithms can analyze vast amounts of genomic and proteomic data to identify promising enzyme candidates for specific biocatalysis applications. This expedites the enzyme discovery process and enables the development of more efficient and selective biocatalysts.

Russia-Ukraine War Impact

The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, often called the Russia-Ukraine war, can potentially impact the global biocatalysis market. If the conflict escalates or leads to further geopolitical tensions, it can disrupt supply chains in the biocatalysis market. Russia and Ukraine are important players in the global packaging industry and any disruptions in their manufacturing capabilities, transportation routes or trade relations can impact the availability of biocatalysis materials and products.
