Global Polylysine Market - 2022-2029

Global Polylysine Market - 2022-2029

Market Overview

A naturally occurring homopolymer of lysine is called polylysine. It is frequently created through the fermentation process. L-lysine and D-lysine are the two amino acids that are most commonly used to make polylysine; as a result, they serve as raw materials along with other items like agro-based corn powder, yeast extract, fish meal, and some bacteria. The product's growing use as a food preservative in packaged foods like boiled rice, sushi, yoghurt, soft drinks, bakery goods, and confectionery items is anticipated to have a positive impact on the market's expansion. In the food industry, polylysine is preferred because of qualities like non-toxicity and broad-spectrum antimicrobial effects. Additionally, it helps keep food products fresh longer.

The global polylysine market was valued at USD XX million in 2021. It is forecasted to reach USD XX million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 7.6% during the forecast period (2022-2029).

Market Dynamics: Growing need to increase the shelf life of the packaged foods with food preservatives fuels market expansion

To extend the shelf life of packaged foods, polylysine is used as an efficient food preservative. The demand for packaged foods, frozen foods, and desserts has increased due to rising consumer disposable income, rapid urbanization, and the availability of ready-to-eat food products. This is anticipated to increase consumer demand for food preservatives, fueling market expansion. On the other hand, the demand from various end-use applications, including cosmetics, food & beverage, pharmaceutical, and dietary supplements, is increasing, which is a major driver of the growth.

However, the factors anticipated to positively impact market growth in the upcoming years are the rising living standards and consumer willingness to spend more on personal well-being.

Market Segmentation: The food & beverage segment accounted for the highest share of the global polylysine market

Due to the increasing use of the product in numerous food items, such as cooked vegetables, boiled rice, noodles, soups, and sushi, among others, food & beverage has emerged as a dominant application. Due to polylysine's antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, this is possible. It has excellent heat and water solubility, reduces the amount of chloride present, and has no unpleasant odour. In Japan and Korea's high-temperature, high-pH commercial environments, polylysine has been used as a natural preservative for more than 20 years. It currently has GRAS status for use in various food applications in the United States. The antimicrobial properties of polylysine are due to its strong cationic charge. In addition to having a great synergistic effect with other preservatives like cultured sugars, vinegar, organic acids, ethanol, EDTA, monoglycerides, etc., polylysine also has a negligible impact on taste and odor. Hence these properties in the polylysine are used in various food and beverages application which drives the market expansion.

On the other hand, it is also utilized in yoghurt, confections, soft drinks, and other bakery products. Numerous food products, including seafood, starch-based goods, fruits, vegetables, and dairy products, have actively benefited from its active use to increase the quality and shelf life. Aside from that, because of its higher concentration, improved anti-microbial, and non-toxic qualities, it is used as a successful polymer in packaging animal products like pork, beef, and meat.

Additionally, due to its anti-aging qualities, it is also used in the personal care industry for various applications, including sun care, make-up, hair care, and skin care. As people's awareness of personal hygiene and cleanliness has grown, the personal care and cosmetics market has noticed a noticeable increase. This has resulted in a surge in demand for these sectors' products.

Geographical Penetration: Asia Pacific is the dominating region during the forecast period

Asia Pacific holds the highest share in the global polylysine market. This is explained by several variables, including the region's growing food and feed industry, rising income levels, and rising population. Regarding production and consumption, the region dominates the world market for polylysine. China, Japan, India, and Singapore are among the nations with the highest concentration of product manufacturers. Due to numerous manufacturing firms that do business in regional and international markets, China is one of the top producers of polylysine. Demand for the product has increased significantly in the Asia Pacific region, particularly China. To gain the largest global market share, the Chinese market offers cheaper polylysine products than those from other regions, like Europe.

However, the cosmetics and personal care industries are well-known in Europe due to large multinational producers like Unilever, L'Oreal, Avon Products, and Reckitt Benckiser Group PLC, among others. Due to rising consumer demand and growing awareness of natural beauty products, the cosmetics and personal care industry is predicted to boom in the area. Due to its non-toxicity and naturally sourced qualities, it finds use in the cosmetics and personal care industries. In addition to liquid foundations, it is used to make soaps, gels, sunscreens, shampoos, hair conditioners, masks, sprays, and moisturizers.

Additionally, the expansion of numerous end-use industries, including food, cosmetics, feed, and pharmaceuticals, propels the North American polylysine market. Due to its characteristics like non-toxicity, safety for human consumption, naturally sourced, anti-viral, anti-microbial, and anti-tumor, the product is increasingly being used in the production of pharmaceutical products. Additionally, it is utilized as a coating material, nanoparticle, liposome, drug carrier, and gene carrier. Major manufacturers' presence and rising demand for the product from the food and pharmaceutical industries are expected to drive market expansion in the area.

Competitive Landscape:

There are several established participants in the industry and local manufacturers; hence, the market is fragmented. Some major key players are Zhengzhou Bainafo Bioengineering, Yiming Biological, Siveele, Lion King Biotechnology, Chisso Co. Okuna Chemical Industries Co., SunBio Co., JNC Corporation, Nanjing Shine king Biotech and Chengdu Jinkai Biology. To maintain their position in the market, businesses are increasing their marketing and R&D expenditures and broadening their distribution networks. Additionally, they are implementing competitive strategies by increasing their investment in product development to meet the tastes and preferences of the new generation of consumers. The businesses use a variety of corporate strategies, including partnerships, mergers, and acquisitions, in addition to a strong product portfolio, to break into the Polylysine market. For instance, On November 30, 2021, to strengthen and advance its position in human health and functional foods, Novozymes acquired Synergia Life Sciences.

COVID-19 Impact: Positive impact on the global polylysine market

The use of polylysine as a natural food preservative in packaged food products has grown over the last few years. It is safe to use in the food, feed, and cosmetics industries and has GRAS certification. There has been a significant increase in product demand due to the rising demand for cosmetics and personal care products. It is famous for its use in hair conditioners and is found in various soaps, sunscreen lotions, shampoos, and gels. However, the global polylysine sales market increased during the pandemic. Due to its potential to partially stop the spread of the virus, polylysine has seen an increase in demand during the COVID-19 outbreak. Functional groups are present in the structures of polymeric materials like polylysine, which gives them antiviral properties. Strong electrostatic interactions with the coronavirus have been demonstrated by polymers like polylysine, which has stopped the virus from replicating in people.
