// 06 dec 2007

According to a new technical market research report, Enzymes for Industrial Applications (BIO030E) from BCC Research (www.bccresearch.com), the global market for industrial enzymes will be worth $2.3 billion in 2007. This is expected to increase to over $2.7 billion by 2012, a compound average annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4%.

The market is broken down into applications of technical, food and animal feed enzymes. Of these, technical enzymes have over 50% of the market. Valued at nearly $1.1 billion in 2007, this segment is expected to be worth $1.4 billion by 2012, a CAGR of 3.5%.

The animal feed enzyme segment is currently worth $280 million and will be worth $375 million in 2012, a CAGR of 4%. The higher growth in this sector will be helped in part by the increased use of phytase enzymes to fight phosphate pollution.
