UAE Industrial Enzymes Market to Surge at a CAGR of Around 3% During 2025-2030

The UAE Industrial Enzymes Market is projected to grow at a CAGR of around 3% during the forecast period of 2025-30, cites MarkNtel Advisors in its recent research report. Various industries, from food & beverage, textile, detergent, and pharmaceutical, to the paper & pulp industry use enzymes as biocatalysts to perform, complex chemical reactions. In these industries, they are used to escalate the chemical reactions.

The food & beverage sector contributes the highest among all end users to the UAE Industrial Enzymes Market. More than 2000 food & beverage manufacturing companies in the country generate a revenue of around USD7.63 billion a year. Among all these manufacturing companies, small and medium-sized food processing industries are more than 550 in the country. In dairy production, animal feed, wine & meat production, oil & fats, etc. enzymes are used for various purposes. Moreover, food consumption in the country has grown to 10.3 million tons in 2023, with a 3.5% growth rate, states the UAE Ministry of Economy. More than 25% share is held by the manufacturing industry of food & beverage, among all the major manufacturing activities.

Additionally, enzymes are also used in animal feed production. The CAGR for the market of animal feed in the country is around 6%, along with a 6.67% CAGR for enzymes in animal feed. Daily animal feed production of Fujairah Feed Factory which is an animal feed company exceeds 400 Metric tons per day. Along with this, the NFFPM, another major company in animal feed in the country, whose an annual ruminant feed production capacity is around 320,000 Metric Tons, whereas for poultry feed it is around 380,000 Metric Tons. Enzymes play a significant part in animal feed production, almost accounting for 10% of the UAE feed Market, thus the high capacity of animal feed is also projected to boost the UAE Industrial Enzymes Market during the forecast period.

Also, in line with the UAE government’s National Food Security Strategy 2051, the AGWA (AgriFood Growth Water Abundance) cluster has been launched by the government. It will provide support to local food producers and help in opening a new food processing industry in the country. Also, Al Ghurair Foods at Khalifa Economic Zone is planning to build a starch processing industry in the country, creating varied growth opportunities for the industrial enzymes market. This starch processing industry along with two other projects is among the top three mega projects related to food processing, projected to cost around USD 272 million, further states the research report, “The UAE Industrial Enzymes Market Analysis, 2025.”

UAE Industrial Enzymes Market Segmentation Analysis

Carbohydrases hold the Largest Market Share

Based on the type segment, the market is further bifurcated into carbohydrates, proteases, lipases, phytases, and others. Carbohydrases among all the major enzyme types, hold the largest market share, accounting for almost 40% share in the market. The increasing demand for processed and healthy foods is creating the demand for them and is also projected to keep the highest in the forecast period. These enzymes improve the texture, flavor, and shelf life of food and bakery items. Along with it, they keep the sugar level low in the food products.

Micro-organisms Capture Maximum Revenue Growth

Of the different sources from which enzymes can be extracted, the micro-organisms sourced enzymes lead the sector by holding approximately 70% share in the UAE Industrial Enzymes Market. The reason behind this highest share is their easy availability and lower cost. Also, they are consistently compared to the other two and act as catalysts to make the final product from raw materials, in various industries including textile, paper & pulp, detergent, and food & beverages.

Competitive Landscape

With strategic initiatives such as mergers, collaborations, and acquisitions, the leading market companies, including BASF SE, Associated British Foods PLC, Koninklijke DSM N.V., E. I. Du Pont De Nemours and Company, Novozymes A/S, Dyadic International Inc., Advanced Enzyme Technologies Ltd., Adisseo (A Bluestar Company), Chr. Hansen Holding A/S, Amano Enzyme Inc., and others are looking forward to strengthening their market positions.
