Specialty Enzymes Market Size Worth USD 13.86 Billion by 2034 | CAGR: 8.4%

Specialty Enzymes Market Size Worth USD 13.86 Billion by 2034 | CAGR: 8.4%


The global specialty enzymes market size is expected to reach USD 13.86 billion by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Specialty Enzymes Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report: By Source (Animal, Microorganisms, and Plant), Type, Form, Application, and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa) – Market Forecast, 2025–2034” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

The specialty enzymes market growth is driven by advancements in enzyme engineering, including the application of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to advance designer enzyme development. Several biotech firms are using AI and ML to predict suitable enzymes for experimental screening and to address the limitations of current methods. In December 2023, Neochromosome, Inc., a biotech company focused on genome-scale cell engineering, collaborated with Dr. Giovanni Stracquadanio from the University of Edinburgh to harness the potential of AI and ML in designer enzyme development. These types of technological adoptions improve the development and optimization of enzymes by enabling quick analysis and prediction of enzyme properties, structures, and functions. Therefore, integrating AI and ML in enzyme engineering fosters innovation and expands the specialty enzymes market worldwide.

The rising shift toward biocatalysts, which are enzymes or cells used to accelerate chemical reactions, is driving the specialty enzymes market expansion. Biocatalysts are preferred over regular chemical catalysts due to their efficiency, specificity, and environmental benefits. Biocatalysts operate under mild conditions, reducing the need for harsh chemicals and high energy inputs, which aligns with the growing emphasis on sustainability and green chemistry. Thus, the demand for specialty enzymes as biocatalysts is rising as industries seek eco-friendly and cost-effective solutions.
