Consumers are paying more attention to the health aspects of foods and enzymes, such as lactase, protease, and amylase are gaining importance in improving the quality of foods and their ease of digestion. In addition, the growing affinity for green, organic, and natural personal care is driving the market for enzyme-based cosmetics as enzymes have been used more and more in skincare to enhance its texture, improve hydration, ease smooth exfoliation, and combat aging. So, the trend of consumption of such eco-friendly natural solutions is quite promising for the enzyme market in the cosmetics space. Recent studies have emerged where metabolic enzymes are stated as essential for DNA repair and cell division, thereby reshaping the treatment options against cancer. These have opened up more emphasis upon the enzyme-based oncology treatment approaches with enhanced advancement toward the precision medicine and new doors open to attack malignant tumors. On November 12, 2024, researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation reported that metabolic enzymes, traditionally associated with energy production, also perform critical nuclear functions like cell division and DNA repair. This discovery offers potential new avenues for treating aggressive cancers, including triple-negative breast cancer.

Global Enzymes Market Segmentation Coverage

• On the basis of the type, the market has been categorized into protease, carbohydrase, lipase, polymerase and nuclease, and others, wherein carbohydrase represents the leading segment. Carbohydrase enzymes are very dominant due to their vast uses in food and beverage preparation, biofuel production, and textiles. They play an important role in breaking up complex carbohydrates into simple sugars, making brewing, baking, and bioethanol production much more efficient processes. Their use in industrial processing makes them the most commercially used type of enzyme on the globe.
• Based on the source, the market is classified into microorganisms, plants, and animals, amongst which microorganisms dominate the market. Microorganisms are the preferred enzyme source due to their high yield, cost-efficiency, and ability to produce diverse enzyme types. They can easily be manipulated through genetic engineering for specific applications, making them ideal for industrial-scale production in sectors such as pharmaceuticals, food processing, and bioenergy.
• On the basis of the reaction type, the market has been divided into hydrolase, oxidoreductase, transferase, lyase, and others. Among these, hydrolase accounts for the majority of the market share. Hydrolase enzymes dominate the market due to their very fundamental roles in catalysing hydrolytic reactions involved in the breaking down of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. Widespread usage in detergents, food processing, and biofuels renders it very hard for hydrolase enzymes to miss a single place where other enzyme types could replace their positions.
• Based on the application, the market is segregated into food and beverages, household care, bioenergy, pharmaceutical and biotechnology, feed, and others. Among these, food and beverages accounts for the majority of the market share. The food and beverages sector leads because the use of enzymes for better quality products, improved flavor, and efficient processing has been widespread. The utilization of proteases, lipases, and carbohydrases is very essential in baking, brewing, dairy production, and sugar processing to meet the rising consumers' demand for varied quality food products.
