✦ Synopsis

US enzymes demand will grow 6.9%/y through 2010, based on strong gains in key markets such as animal feed, biocatalysts, pharmaceuticals, and starch processing. Pharmaceuticals will remain the largest market and one of the fastest growing. The most rapid growth will occur in animal feed additives, led by phytase. This study analyzes the $1.6 bn US enzyme industry. It presents historical demand data and forecasts for 1995, 2000 and 2005 and forecasts to 2010 and 2015 by product (eg carbohydrases, proteases, polymerases, nucleases, lipases) and by market (eg pharmaceuticals, starch processing, food and beverage processing, research and biotechnology, cleaning products, diagnostics). The study also considers market environment factors, evaluates company market share, and profiles 36 major players including Novozymes, Danisco, Allergan, Genzyme, Genentech, Archer-Daniels-Midland, and Roche.
