The production of enzyme preparations in my country is gradually increasing, with food processing being the main application field.

Enzyme preparations are biological products with catalytic functions formed by purifying and processing enzymes and are used to catalyze various chemical reactions. Compared with chemical catalysts, enzyme preparations have the advantages of mild operating conditions, high specificity, high catalytic efficiency, and high safety. After years of development, the types of enzyme preparations have become increasingly rich. According to different application fields, they can be roughly divided into food enzymes, detergent enzymes, technical enzymes, feed enzymes, etc. Among them, technical enzymes can be subdivided into enzymes for papermaking, enzymes for fuel, enzymes for leather, enzymes for fine chemicals, etc.

At this stage, my country’s enzyme preparation industry chain has been basically completed. The upstream of the industrial chain is mainly the raw material industry, providing vitamins, corn starch, glucose, methanol and other raw materials; the midstream is mainly the enzyme preparation production industry, responsible for the production and manufacturing of enzyme preparations; the downstream is mainly the application field, and enzyme preparations are mostly used in food processing , papermaking, detergents, feed, daily chemicals, leather, medicine, textiles and other fields.

From the perspective of market structure, food processing has become the largest application field of enzyme preparations, accounting for 36.9%; followed by daily chemicals, accounting for 23.2%; feed ranks third, accounting for 20.8%.

In recent years, my country’s research and development capabilities have been continuously improved, the technical level of enzyme preparations has gradually improved, and the application fields have gradually expanded. In the field of food safety, enzyme preparations are relatively safe and can meet consumers’ demands for safe and high-quality food, and their market penetration is gradually increasing. In addition, compared with other types of catalysts, enzyme preparations have the advantages of higher catalytic efficiency and low production cost, and are widely used in papermaking, washing, textile and other fields. With the gradual implementation of my country’s environmental protection policies, enzyme preparations, as a green and efficient biocatalyst, can not only reduce resource loss, but also reduce environmental pollution to a certain extent, and are expected to replace traditional chemical catalysts. Overall, the market demand for enzyme preparations is relatively large.

According to the “China Enzyme Preparation Industry Market Monitoring and Future Development Prospects Research Report 2023-2027” released by the Industrial Research Center, With the rapid development of the downstream market, the production scale of my country’s enzyme preparation enterprises has gradually expanded, and the output has increased. In 2022, my country’s enzyme preparation output will be 1.6784 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 4.8%.

Industry analysts said that at this stage, there are a large number of companies in my country’s enzyme preparation market. The main foreign enzyme preparation companies include Novozymes, DSM, Genencor, BELDEM, etc. The major domestic enzyme preparation companies include Azure Biotech, VTR, Xinhuayang, Zhengbang Technology, Baisijie, etc. Foreign enzyme preparation companies have relatively advanced production technology and high product quality, and are mainly concentrated in the high-end market. my country’s enzyme preparation companies started late, and their product categories are relatively single. There is still a certain gap between production technology and international advanced production levels, and they are mainly concentrated in the middle and low-end markets. In recent years, my country’s enzyme preparation companies have developed rapidly, the level of production technology has gradually improved, the speed of new product development has gradually accelerated, and they have gradually expanded into the high-end market.
