Microbial Lipase Market Research Report – Forecast to 2023
2 Market Overview
Lipase is a class of enzyme that breaks down fats. Groups of lipases produced from microorganisms are termed as
microbial lipase. Microbial lipase is an important group of biotechnologically valuable enzymes. The global microbial
lipase market is expected to grow significantly over the forecast period of 2018–2023. Microbial lipase is currently
given much attention with the rapid development of enzyme technology, compared to the other sources of lipase
such as plants and animal, as microorganisms tend to produce high yield. This describes widely spread industrial
applications of microbial lipase in the food, oil & fat, soap and detergent, pulp & paper, and leather industries, among
others.
Microbial lipase provides various advantages over the plant or animal-based enzymes such as a variety of catalytic
activity, high production capacity within a short period and ease of genetic manipulation. However, microbial lipase
can be produced at any time and do not get affected by any seasonal fluctuation. Some of the other advantages are
they can grow rapidly on inexpensive media and shows stability in terms of activity. Increasing awareness about
animal health, need for better quality of animal feed products, increasing consumption of enzyme-modified cheese
and other dairy ingredients, and wide industrial applications are some of the key drivers for market growth.
Segmentation
Global microbial lipase market has been segmented into application, source, form, and region.
By application, the market has been segmented into cleansing agent, animal feed, dairy product, bakery products,
confectionery products, and others. However, the cleansing agent segment is likely to dominate the microbial lipase
market due to the need for a replacement to harsh bleach-based detergents.
Based on source, the market is segmented into fungi and bacteria. While the fungal lipase segment is expected to
dominate the market in the near future because of its specificity and stability under varied chemical and physical
condition, fungal lipase are extra cellular in nature they can be extracted easily,which significantly reduces the cost
and makes this source preferable over bactria.Moreover,fungal lipase found its wide applications in food and drug
industry. .
Based on form, the market has been segmented into powder form and liquid form. The powder form of microbial
lipase is expected to dominate the market as it is relatively easy to handle, package, and transport as compared to
the liquid form.
