However, the lack of adequate regulations pertaining to the use of other competing technologies and applications may hamper market performance. In addition, limited consumer awareness about biocatalysts may challenge industry progression. In contrast, rising environmental concerns and the increasing penetration of biocatalysts across several industry verticals will favor market progress.
Based on type, the overall market size is fragmented into Hydrolases, Oxidoreductases, Transferases, and Others comprising Lysase, Isomerases, and Ligases. The hydrolases segment of the biocatalyst market is slated to be worth USD 430 million by 2032, given the increasing usage of hydrolases in a range of cleansing agents, Food & Beverages, and biofuel production. Besides, the ease of use, broad range availability and high compatibility of hydrolases with organic solvents are some other factors fostering product adoption.
Regarding the source, the biocatalyst market share is classified into Plants, Animals, and Microorganisms. The microorganisms segment is set to expand at over 6% CAGR between 2023 and 2032, attributed to the easy, consistent, and cost-effective production of biocatalysts through microorganisms. Microbial-catalyzed biotransformations retain substantial potential in generating a variety of structurally diversified organic compounds, specifically natural products with intricate structures such as flavonoids, triterpenoids, steroids, sesquiterpenoids, and steroidal saponins. Consistent R&D efforts toward obtaining biologically active molecules with myriad structural features will drive segment share.
Biocatalysts find extensive applications in food and beverages, cleaning agents, biofuel production, agriculture and feed, biopharmaceuticals, and others. The industry revenue from the biopharmaceuticals segment is anticipated to grow at 7% CAGR from 2023 to 2032, owing to the growing usage of biocatalysts resulting in high-quality biopharmaceutical ingredients like proteins, nucleic acids, etc. Additionally, the increasing R&D investments on several drug development projects will further aid segment size.
Geographically, the Europe biocatalyst market is expected to garner USD 280 million in revenues by 2032. Europe is one of the leading pharmaceutical manufacturers globally. In 2020, the region invested an estimated € 39,000 million in R&D, as per the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations. High research and development activities due to advanced technological innovation in the biocatalyst domain is another crucial factor positively impacting the market trends.
Leading companies constituting the competitive landscape of the biocatalyst market are:
Biosyntha Technology LtdParticipatory firms in this business have been focusing on developing cutting-edge innovations to gain a strong foothold globally. For instance, in July 2022, LanzaTech, an innovative Chicago-based Carbon Capture and Transformation (“CCT”) firm that converts waste carbon into sustainable materials such as fuels, packaging, fabrics, and other products, unveiled that it has successfully developed specialized biocatalysts to produce ethylene directly from CO2 in a steady process.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, pharmaceutical products witnessed the highest demand, and the demand for new drugs is still on the rise, given the recurrence of new COVID-19 variants in various countries. This apart, food & beverage sales registered a record growth during the crisis due to stockpiling buyer behavior and increasing panic buying. With the demand for new drugs and preventive therapies continues to rise across both developed and developing economies, attributed to the growing prevalence of lifestyle diseases and aging population, the biocatalyst industry size will grow considerably over the coming years.
