Market Overview

Australia Food Enzymes Market is forecasted to reach USD 125 million by 2024 growing at a CAGR of 6.8%during the forecast period (2019 - 2024).

- The key factors driving the studied market are - Innovations in food technology in the country and the growing awareness about the betterment of product quality when enzymes are used. PH levels affect the enzymes like extremely high or low pH values will result in a complete loss of activity for most enzymes. The optimum pH level varies greatly from one enzyme to another and the location where the enzyme is working, thus, resulting in the failure of producing the desired product.
- One of the major drivers of the food enzyme market is the use of food enzymes for fermentation, as the food & beverage industry offers a variety of fermented foods, such as yogurt, tempeh, bread, and beverages (such as alcoholic drinks, etc.).
- The restrictions on temperature and pH levels may lead to higher input costs and cover up any possible losses in case of faulty production. This consequently gives an upper hand to major players with huge financial support as opposed to new players.

Scope of the Report

Industrial food enzymes provide environment-friendly products to consumers, with no compromise in terms of quality of the end products. By application, the market is divided into the bakery, dairy, oil & fats, meat poultry & seafood products, beverages, and others. Food & beverage enzymes are mostly produced from microbial sources because of their low cost and high productivity. The functional attributes of food enzymes, such as digestive, softening, and anti-staling, are expected to drive food enzyme market growth.

Key Market Trends
