Brewing Enzymes Market Research Report – Forecast to 2023
2 Market Overview
The usage of enzymes in the brewing industry has been an essential component in its processing, and a thorough
knowledge and research of those enzymes is mandatory for the sake of better production and higher quality although
enzymes are endogenous in the kernel itself or have been added from external sources. The demand is driven due
to reasons like increasing use of industrial enzymes used in breweries to accelerate processing and to produce
consistent and high-quality products. Microbial enzymes in the brewing industry, are used to digest cell wall during
extraction of plant material to provide better yield, color, aroma and clearer products. The brewing enzymes market
has expanded in recent years with the advancement of research technology and extension of application range.
Apart from the drivers, brewing process requires a deep knowledge of enzymology as each enzyme has its individual
temperature point, where it can be in active form.
Therefore, lack of such technical knowledge and skillsets may hamper the market growth in the forecast period.
There are certain steps included in the process of brewing and these steps are very sensitive and any kind of change
in doses of enzymes can lead to a high number of unwanted and undesirable effects, also enzymes utilized in the
brewing process produces a lot of waste. The aggressive competition between brands selling beer is also driving the
industry to innovate with new beer styles such as new flavors, different alcohol percentages, etc., thus leading to the
demand for enzyme-based technologies. The global trend on gluten-free food has forced the industry to launch low-
gluten/ gluten-free beers. These products are achieved by excluding wheat and barley from the process or by using
traditional grains in the process and hydrolyzing the gluten using specific enzymes.
Intended Audience:
Beer and wine producers/processors
