Alpha Amylase Market Size, Share, Opportunities, COVID-19 Impact, And Trends By Source (Fungi, Maltogenic, G4, Other Bacteria and Plant Based), By Application (Bread, Cookies and Biscuits, Desserts, Others), And By Geography - Forecasts From 2023 To 2028

Alpha Amylase is an enzyme that hydrolyses α bonds of large, α-linked polysaccharides, such as starch and glycogen, yielding shorter chains thereof, dextrins, and maltose. They are important and are used in a wide range of products such as baking goods, animal feed, sugar products, etc.

The global alpha-amylase market is predicted to rise due to rising demand for convenience foods and the rapid growth of the food processing industry in developing economies. They are an essential component in the production of biofuels therefore rising adoption of renewable energy will provide massive opportunities to the market players. Consumers nowadays demand necessary safety standards in food products and therefore look for natural ways to preserve their food products. Therefore the trend of biopreservation will fuel market growth as alpha-amylase play an essential part in the process of bio-preservation of food products. The use of alpha-amylase as animal feed additives will also surge demand during the forecast period.

However, preference for alternative protein hydrolysis enzymes such as lipase, xylanase, and others, are expected to be other factors obstructing the market growth.

The usage of alpha-amylase in manufacturing a wide range of products will spur growth

One of the prime factors that will boost the growth of the alpha-amylase market is the usage of the enzyme to manufacture a wide range of products such as bakery products, processed foods, animal feed, etc. Alpha Amylases have potential applications in a wide number of industrial processes such as food, fermentation, textile, paper, detergent, and pharmaceutical industries. Alpha-amylase is a key element in the manufacturing of baked goods, as it increases the sugar and dextrin content of the end product. The global alpha-amylase market is predicted to rise due to rising demand for convenience foods and the rapid growth of the food processing industry in developing economies. The demand for biofuels has expanded due to the rising desire for renewable and sustainable energy options. Amylase enzymes play an important role in the manufacturing of biofuels, which is expected to drive the worldwide alpha-amylase market growth.

Alpha amylase is also used in the process of biopreservation of food products. Consumer demand for necessary safety requirements in food products with an enhanced shelf life is driving up demand for bio-preservation. Producers of dairy, drinks and fresh bakery products are concentrating on natural ways to keep their portfolios fresh for a longer period to keep food products appealing. As artificial preservatives fail to match modern consumer expectations, alpha-amylase is an important part of the bio-preservation process. Alpha amylase is capable of preserving food and ensuring the safety of various food products.

Since consumer preferences are shifting towards natural and chemical-free food products therefore alpha-amylase is extensively used as a substitute for emulsifiers in food products. They are also widely used as additives in animal feed. Alpha amylase is known to have digestive capabilities that provide animals with superior digestive systems, with benefits such as higher fat percentage in cows and high milk yield in ruminants, enhancing farmer profitability by reducing the amount of grain used for feeding.

Alpha Amylase was used in healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors but with advancements in biotechnology, amylase applications have expanded in numerous sectors, including clinical, pharmaceutical, and analytical chemistry, as well as their extensive use in starch saccharification and the textile, food, brewing, and distilling industries.

Asia Pacific is anticipated to hold a significant amount of the market share during the forecast period

Asia Pacific region is anticipated to hold a significant amount of market share in alpha-amylase. This region will witness high growth during the forecast period owing to the growing application of amylase in the manufacturing of processed food and bakery products. Growing demand for convivence food items will spur demand in this region.  The hectic lifestyle has generated notable demand for ready-to-eat food products such as; bread, cookies, cakes, and biscuits, among others. Moreover, increased disposable income and rapid urbanization and industrialization in countries like India, China, Japan, and Taiwan, have resulted in a fast-paced lifestyle. This is anticipated to be a key factor fuelling market demand. The rising popularity of alpha-amylase in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industry will also be another factor augmenting the market growth.

Market Key Developments

• In March 2022,   Bio-Cat (Troy, VA) is investing $35 million to develop its Troy, VA, facility to include fermentation capabilities. Fermentation is used by the company to manufacture microbial ingredients for a variety of industries, including a dozen patented Bacillus microbe strains for the human probiotic, production and companion animal, and agricultural science markets.
• In July 2022, Researchers of a biotech startup  Fermentech Labs at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras have identified a bacterium that can convert agricultural waste into industrial enzymes such as alpha-amylase. The founder says the heterogeneous nature of agriculture biomass provides a unique opportunity to produce a multitude of enzymes of commercial interest.
