The Asia-Pacific detergent grade enzymes market attained a volume of 280.30 KMT in 2024. The industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.10% during the forecast period of 2025-2034 to attain a volume of 506.73 KMT by 2034.
The industry will be driven by a rising demand in the pharmaceutical, and food and beverage sectors, and the growing availability of raw materials required for biofuel production. Food and beverage sector is a leading application segment for enzymes driven by a rising population, leading to growth in the consumption of fermented food products where enzymes are largely used.
Proteases dominate the market in Asia-Pacific, particularly China and India, as they find extensive applications in chemical, pharmaceutical and detergent sectors. Thus, the growing application of enzymes in detergent and pharmaceutical sectors along with rising disposable income and rapidly growing urbanisation are propelling the protease demand in India. The rising enzymatic detergents industry in China is aiding the protease market growth.
Globally, the detergent industry is expected to witness a healthy growth in the forecast period in emerging regions like China and other Asian countries while mature markets like Japan will witness a slower growth in the coming years. Although powder detergents dominated more than half the detergent market in India and China in 2017, they are seeing a rising competition from liquid detergent as they come pre-dissolved and are easier and more convenient to use. The liquid detergent sector in the region is also finding further impetus due to the better innovations and improved stability of enzymes in the detergents. In China, enzymatic detergents have the largest share, and is expected to further grow with the introduction of improved enzymatic detergent products. In India, enzymatic detergents hold a small but significant share and is expected to grow in the coming five years with the penetration of the products in the rural areas as well as an increase in the demand for medium and premium quality detergents.
