Report Scope and Market Segmentation       

Enzymes Market Definition

Enzymes are proteins or biological molecules that greatly diminish the response time of several chemical reactions within cells. They can have the capability to act as biological catalysts. They are essential for life and perform several vital tasks in the body, such as digestion, respiration, muscle and neuron function, and many other activities. Enzymes help in the degradation of complex and larger compounds, such as glucose, into smaller molecules that the body may use as fuels.

Enzymes Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Rising Demand for Carbohydrases

The demand for the carbohydrases rapidly increase in the market because carbohydrases are widely used in several applications such as industrial processes and prominently in the food & beverage industry. Now, it is possible to obtain many prebiotics (such as galactooligosaccharides and fructooligosaccharides), sugar syrups (such as fructose, glucose and inverted sugar syrups), and isomaltulose by the use of carbohydrates. The carbohydrate substitutes sweeteners such as sucrose to increase the sensory properties of wines and juices and diminish lactose in milk. Moreover, amylases are a sub-category of carbohydrases catalyze which is used for the hydrolysis of starch into sugars. Hence, major companies such as Novozymes (Denmark) and DSM (Netherlands) offer amylases for industrial applications. Thus, the growing demand of carbohydrates is expected to propel the market's growth rate.
