The global specialty enzymes market size is expected treach USD 13.86 billion by 2034, according ta new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Specialty Enzymes Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report: By Source (Animal, Microorganisms, and Plant), Type, Form, Application, and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa) – Market Forecast, 2025–2034” gives a detailed insight intcurrent market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

The specialty enzymes market growth is driven by advancements in enzyme engineering, including the application of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) tadvance designer enzyme development. Several biotech firms are using AI and ML tpredict suitable enzymes for experimental screening and taddress the limitations of current methods. In December 2023, Neochromosome, Inc., a biotech company focused on genome-scale cell engineering, collaborated with Dr. Giovanni Stracquadanifrom the University of Edinburgh tharness the potential of AI and ML in designer enzyme development. These types of technological adoptions improve the development and optimization of enzymes by enabling quick analysis and prediction of enzyme properties, structures, and functions. Therefore, integrating AI and ML in enzyme engineering fosters innovation and expands the specialty enzymes market worldwide.

The rising shift toward biocatalysts, which are enzymes or cells used taccelerate chemical reactions, is driving the specialty enzymes market expansion. Biocatalysts are preferred over regular chemical catalysts due ttheir efficiency, specificity, and environmental benefits. Biocatalysts operate under mild conditions, reducing the need for harsh chemicals and high energy inputs, which aligns with the growing emphasis on sustainability and green chemistry. Thus, the demand for specialty enzymes as biocatalysts is rising as industries seek eco-friendly and cost-effective solutions.

The biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries are major consumers of specialty enzymes due ttheir critical role in drug development, diagnostics, and therapeutic applications. Enzymes are used in processes such as the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, bioassays, and personalized medicine. Consequently, the demand for specialty enzymes tsupport complex processes and enhance product efficacy grows as these industries expand and innovate, driving market growth.
