BIOCATALYSIS & BIOCATALYSTS MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on type the global market can be categorized into Hydrolases, Oxidoreductases, Transferases and Others.

• Hydrolases: Hydrolases are other enzymes that break the chemical bonds of substrates by adding water to them so as to split the bonds apart. It is utilized in the food processing due to its ability to process dairy or starch products and in pharmaceuticals for drug manufacturing and biofuel and biopolymers synthesis because of its property to break down complicated biomolecules.

• Oxidoreductases: Oxidoreductases are a class of enzymes that catalyze oxidation-reduction reactions. The general function of an oxidoreductase is to transfer electrons from one electron donor molecule onto another electron acceptor molecule. These enzymes are important in the preparation of enantiomerically pure substances used as pills in volumetric analysis and in the synthesis of optically energetic compounds, biosensors, environmental bioremediation, and wastewater remedies because they can change the stages of oxidation of many substrates.

• Transferases: Transferases involve in transferring a group or organizing unit from one molecule to another; for instance, methyl, glycosyl or phosphoryl group. Such reagents are widely used in the preparation of antibiotics, glycosylation of active pharmaceutical ingredients, and biochemistry of the food and agriculture industries where they are required for the protection and engineering of biomolecules in terms of functionality through functionalization/ diversification chemistry.

By Application

Based on application the global market can be categorized into Food & Beverages, Cleaning Agents, Agriculture & Feed, Biofuel Production, Biopharmaceuticals and Others.

• Food & Beverages: Biocatalysts enhance the conversion of chemicals into more soluble and reactive products, which are safe in food and drinks, thereby enhancing the quality and extending the shelf life, texture of meals and beverage products. They catalyze fermentation processes, modification of taste, metabolism of complex carbohydrates. Major application areas include brewing, milk processing, and in the manufacturing process of high-fructose corn syrup.

• Cleaning Agents: In the domain of cleaning biocatalysts such as protease, lipase, and amylase are embedded in detergents and cleaning products to break down the proteins, fats, and starches that are stuck to the surface. This enhances the stain removal and the overall cleaning efficiency. They play an important role in decreasing environmental pollution through the usage of eco-friendly alternative chemicals, which in effects improve the biodegradability and the lowering of the environmental effects.

• Agriculture & Feed: Biocatalysts are deployed in the environmental sector to achieve sustainable soil, ensure a good growing environment for the plant, and shorten the time of the cycle by releasing the nutrients and controlling pests that otherwise would cause the loss of crop. The enzyme-based approach to animal nutrition, for example phytases and proteases, the digestibility of the feed is increased and as a result, better nutrient absorption and livestock performance improvement are noticed.

• Biofuel Production: In the course of biofuel production, these biomasses are broken down into ethanol and biodiesel—bioenergy sources—by enzymes like cellulases and lipases. Catalyze the effective breakdown of plant materials and oils into sustainable power resources, hence allowing them to spring up and reduce the world's dependence on fossil fuels.

• Biopharmaceuticals: Biocatalysis is an essential part of the pharmaceutical industry because it is the lever to complex drug synthesis and it provides the output drug molecule that can be highly specific and performant. Enzymes will be able to provide these by making active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs), improving drug formulations and expanding biopharmaceuticals like therapeutic proteins and antibodies.
