✦ Synopsis

US demand for enzymes will grow 6%/y through 2012. Advances will be led by continued rapid expansion in the fuel ethanol segment of the starch processing enzyme market, as well as by strong growth in the large pharmaceutical and smaller biocatalyst and pulp and paper markets. Animal feed will also contribute to gains.

This study analyzes the $91 bn US enzyme industry. It presents historical demand data for the years 1997, 2002, and 2007, and forecasts for 2012 and 2017 by market (eg pharmaceuticals, starch processing, research and biotechnology, food and beverage processing, cleaning products, diagnostics, animal feed) and product (eg carohydrases, proteases, polymerases, nucleases, lipases).

The study also considers market shares and profiles 39 industry competitors, including Novozymes, Danisco, and Allergan.
