Global Enzymes Market: A Glance at Opportunities in the Food, Feed and Industrial Market Segments

Business Wire, June 16, 2008

PALO ALTO, Calif. -- The Chemicals, Materials & Food practice at Frost & Sullivan is pleased to announce its 2008 Quarterly Analyst Briefing Presentation on the global enzymes market to be held on Thursday, June 19, 2008 at 8:00 a.m. PDT.

Interest continues to increase among food and feed manufacturers to replace the usage of chemicals such as emulsifiers, acid, and antibiotics with enzymes. This interest drives growth in the enzymes food and feed markets. For example, in the U.S., enzymes increasingly replace emulsifiers in bakery products, acid in manufacturing corn sweeteners, and traditional methods in making wines and fruit juices. In animal feed, specifically for poultry and swine, feed enzymes expect to replace antibiotics due to additional functional attributes they impart to animal feed. The feed enzymes industry gains momentum globally when emerging geographies experience an increase in consumer demand of meat-based products through improving economies.

Environment regulations and the efficiency of enzymes in the reduction of operational cost cause a decrease in consumption of chemicals and hold the key for the industrial enzymes market. However, trends vary across regions and segments. For instance, the bioethanol industry in the U.S. is booming because of RFS standards, whereas, the markets for leather and textile decrease because of a shift in these markets toward China and India.

This briefing will benefit enzyme suppliers, distributors, formulators and end-user industries. Highlights of the briefing include global market trends, demand analysis, key strategies, along with market opportunities and challenges.

"Overall food and feed manufacturers' crave 'clean-label' products and allow enzymes to penetrate the market", states Frost & Sullivan Analyst Vignesh P. "Participants in the feed enzymes industry should look for new avenues for growth and prepare to deal with the uniqueness of each geography."
