company news about Development Trends of the Enzyme Preparation Industry in 2026

    The global enzyme market is projected to reach US$16.12 billion by 2027, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. Globally, the application scope and market size of enzyme preparations are continuously expanding, with China experiencing the fastest growth. Statistics show that from 2008 to 2020, enzyme production increased from 615,000 standard tons to 1.51 million standard tons, representing an annual growth rate of 8%. After more than 50 years of rapid development, China's enzyme industry has entered the ranks of the world's major enzyme producers. Currently, approximately 30 types of enzyme preparations are in large-scale production, indicating a very promising future for the industry.

Key Factors Driving Enzyme Demand Growth

I. Increased Demand

As people's demands for healthy eating continue to rise, the growing market for food, beverages, and health products is driving increasing demand for enzyme preparations. Products such as yogurt, enzyme mud masks, and enzyme-based weight loss products are becoming increasingly popular health products, requiring enzyme processing and manufacturing. Simultaneously, enzyme preparations are widely used in the health product and pharmaceutical industries, thus contributing to market growth in the enzyme industry.

II. Technological Advancement

With the continuous development and progress of industries such as chemistry, biology, and pharmaceuticals, the research and development of enzyme preparations has also gradually improved. The emergence of new technologies and industrial paradigms, such as microbial fermentation, high-throughput screening, and protein engineering, helps to develop more efficient and sustainable enzyme preparations, while providing more opportunities for industry development.

III. Policy Support

Under the guidance of national policies, environmental protection and sustainable development have become important directions for development in various industries. In particular, the successive introduction of numerous "bans" and "alternatives" policies by various countries, such as those for proteases, glucose oxidases, and cellulases, has benefited many industries. Government support and funding can promote the research and development of related technologies and accelerate industry development.

    Enzyme preparations have wide applications in many industries, including food, feed, detergents, textiles, papermaking, and pharmaceuticals, and their application in new energy and environmental protection fields is also expanding. With the continued development of the global economy, the demand for enzyme preparations in these industries will continue to grow, thereby driving the rapid development of the enzyme preparation industry.

    The demand for environmental protection and green production also provides tremendous opportunities for the development of the enzyme preparation industry. Enzyme preparations are characterized by being environmentally friendly, highly efficient, and energy-saving, meeting the current societal demand for environmentally friendly products. Therefore, against the backdrop of increasingly stringent environmental regulations and the growing popularity of green production concepts, the enzyme preparation industry will see even greater development opportunities in 2026.
