MARKET GROWTH FACTORS

Growing consumer preference for clean-label, natural, and functional food products is significantly boosting United States food enzymes market demand, as buyers increasingly seek simpler ingredient lists and healthier formulation options. This caused a move to eliminate synthetic additives or minimize the use of synthetic additives. Companies have shifted toward using naturally occurring enzymes for texture, shelf life, nutrition, and clean-label compliance. Enzymes utilized throughout baking, dairy, and meat segments continue to see high demand because of the trend toward natural and clean-label products around health and sustainability consciousness.

Functional foods and drinks that health-conscious consumers like have eased how food enzymes combine with protein drinks, plant-based drinks, and dairy alternatives to improve how bioavailable, digestible, and nutritious they are (see bioavailability). Functional benefits of digestive enzymes, including the ability to improve gut health, increase absorption, or digest lactose, are measurable, providing product differentiation that encourages product innovation and market segmentation.

The growing interest in plant foods in the US has also led to a high demand for enzymes capable of improving the flavor, texture, and digestibility of plant proteins, meat analogs, and fermented products. These include enzymes that lower fiber density and bitterness of plant foods, and enzymes with the ability to replace the function of the animal product without disrupting plant structure. Enzymes such as Novozymes' Vertera ProBite for improving texture in plant-based meat are helping to address consumer demand for more ethical and sustainable products, and are establishing themselves as an important ingredient in the growing alternative protein ingredient industry.
