Malt Diastase Global Market Report 2025

The malt diastase market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.36 billion in 2024 to $1.46 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing consumer demand for organic and natural food products, the growing popularity of enzyme-based ingredients in brewing processes, rising interest in functional foods and beverages, greater awareness about digestive health, and increasing demand for malt-based products across various industries.

The malt diastase market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.92 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing demand for plant-based protein sources, rising use of enzymes in the baking industry, growing consumer preference for low-calorie, high-protein foods, expanding demand for convenience foods, and the emerging trend of personalized nutrition. Major trends expected during this period include the development of bio-based malt diastase, the integration of automation in manufacturing processes, the use of genetic engineering to enhance enzyme production, innovation in hybrid malt diastase enzyme formulations, and the application of artificial intelligence for enzyme optimization and process efficiency.

The rising demand for personalized nutrition is expected to propel the growth of the malt extract market going forward. Personalized nutrition refers to customized dietary recommendations based on an individual's genetic makeup, lifestyle, and health conditions, aimed at improving overall wellness and preventing disease. This trend is gaining traction as consumers become more health-conscious and seek functional ingredients that align with their specific dietary needs. Malt extract, rich in essential nutrients such as vitamins B and E, amino acids, and antioxidants, is increasingly used in health supplements, fortified foods, and beverages for its ability to support digestion, energy metabolism, and immune function. For instance, in January 2024, according to a report by the International Food Information Council, 63% of global consumers said they are interested in food and beverage products tailored to their health needs, with digestive health, energy, and immunity being top priorities. Therefore, the growing demand for personalized and functional nutrition is driving the malt extract market.

Major companies in the malt extract market are focusing on clean label innovations to meet consumer preferences for natural, minimally processed ingredients. Clean label malt extracts are free from artificial additives, colors, or preservatives and are increasingly used in baked goods, beverages, and dairy alternatives to improve taste, texture, and nutritional value. For example, in October 2024, Muntons plc, a UK-based malt and malted ingredients manufacturer, launched a new line of clean label malt extracts designed for plant-based and functional food applications. These extracts offer improved solubility, natural sweetness, and consistent performance, allowing food producers to meet the demand for healthier and more transparent ingredient lists. The innovation supports cleaner formulations without compromising product quality or sensory appeal.

In January 2023, Boortmalt, a Belgium-based global malting company, completed the acquisition of Cargill’s malt business for an undisclosed amount. This strategic move aimed to strengthen Boortmalt’s position as one of the largest malting companies worldwide by expanding its global footprint and increasing its production capacity. With this acquisition, Boortmalt added 16 new malting facilities across North America, Europe, and Latin America, enhancing its ability to serve a broader customer base across the brewing, food, and beverage industries. Cargill is a US-based food and agriculture company known for its expertise in grain processing and malt ingredient solutions.

Malt diastase is an enzyme derived from malted barley or other grains that facilitates the breakdown of starch into maltose and other simple sugars. It is widely used in digestive supplements to aid in carbohydrate digestion.

The main types of malt diastase include beta-amylase, glucoamylase, protease, xylanase, and others. Beta-amylase specifically breaks down starch into maltose by cleaving the second alpha-1,4-glycosidic bond from the non-reducing end of the starch molecule. Malt diastase is available in various forms, including powder, liquid, and granules. These products are applied in industries such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverages, animal feed, and more. Distribution channels include online stores, supermarkets or hypermarkets, specialty stores, and other retail outlets. End users range from large-scale industries and small to medium enterprises to individual consumers.
