Market Trends of China Food Enzymes Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the China Food Enzymes Market according to our research experts:
Growing Popularity of Specialty Ingredients
Specialty ingredients are the most important products which guarantee the shelf life of the vast range of processed foods. They range from a wide variety of macro ingredients, such as fibers, carbohydrates, fats, and specific proteins, to other micro-ingredients, including minerals, vitamins, and enzymes. They typically perform various functional activities to enhance the quality and taste of the products. The health-related, nutritional, and technological functions of these products make the diet pleasant for consumption, tasty, safe, healthy, and even affordable. Manufacturers are focusing on providing all-natural specialty ingredients that increase the shelf-life of the product and enable them to label their products as "100% all-natural", addressing consumer demand for "clean labels." Further, as a result of the increasing use of protease in sports nutrition and supplements, producers are offering a variety of protease-derived supplements. Following the demand for protease-derived goods, the National Health Commission of the People's Republic of China (NHC) approved ten new food additives in 2021, including three new enzymes (Protease Alpha-amylase and Lactase).
Rising Utilization in Baking Applications
The key drivers of growth of the baking enzymes market include the declining use of emulsifiers, uncovering health and nutritional value,s and high disposable income among consumers. Bakers are increasingly using enzymes to improve the softness, moistness, and shelf life of their products. The adoption of bakery enzymes for bread accounts for a relatively high revenue share. Moreover, their growing applications in cakes and pastries are opening a wide window of opportunities for market players. Nowadays, consumers increasingly embrace convenient foods, like bread. Thus, realizing the challenges in fulfilling all consumer needs, from improving texture to longer-lasting freshness, the market players are directing their investments toward product innovation.
