Brewing Enzymes Market: Overview

Brewing is the process of producing wine and beer using some starch materials like water, barley malt, yeast, and some clarifying agents. Enzymes are nothing but proteins or biocatalysts which are nurtured and grown by chemical reaction rates. They are fermented and are used for the preparation of wine or beer. They are sometimes molded and pulverized into different substances to vary in dilution and taste while concocting the beers and wines. They are mixed and differed in concentrations to produce different tastes and intensities. Brewers are more in preference and prominence because of the abundance and flexibility of their raw materials.

Enzymes are a useful biocatalyst that is used in various industries for chemical reactions and industrial process. The enzymes are largely used in food processing, beverages, and animal feed industry. The brewing enzymes are used for secure, stable, and uniform mashing without any irregularities. It also improves filtration and use of raw material is optimized.

During the malting stage, cell wall hydrolases like glucanase, cellulase, xylanase, amylase, dextrinase, and proteases are emitted which actually bolsters the digestion process and breaks down the proteins. These enzymes effectively convert the starch into fermentable sugars and also yeast. This yeast is further leveraged to convert the sugars into ethanol and carbon dioxide. These endogenous enzymes are deactivated by the high temperature to control the enzyme activity and give a clear end product. There are different varieties of enzymes that actually employs different brewing procedures and the beers produced differ in taste and intensity according to those categories.

Brewing Enzymes Market: Growth Drivers

Rising demand for alcohol in bars and restaurants coupled with growing urbanizations across the world induces market growth

The rising demand for alcohol and its leverage in bars and pubs accelerates the market growth. The growing urbanization also positively influences the global brewing enzymes market rapidly. The beer demand and its leverage across the world have spiked up along with increasing health consciousness, thereby boosting market growth promptly. The demand for non-gluten consumption also seems to be in demand which invariably supports the market.

Brewing involves many steps such as mashing, boiling, lautering, fermenting, boiling, filtering, and packaging. These processes increase the taste of the alcohol while also distilling it for consumption. Hence the enzymes have gained a lot of traction amongst the masses in recent times.

Increasing demand for these enzymes, their fermentability & filterability, improving enzyme activity, growing extract yield, production of gluten-free beer, and increasing focus on raw materials and adjuncts like corn, wheat, rice, oats, rye, and millets increase the market growth. Wide leverage of these enzymes along with palatability and quality of the end product also induces growth in the global market.

The rise in per capita income coupled with the constant increase in research, development, and product innovations also portends growth in the global market. Recent liking and attraction towards craft breweries and specialty beers or wines also seem to have impacted the market positively.

 The inception and introduction of flavorful beers and wines along with its newly cultivated healthy enzymes such as proteases, amylases, glucanase, and cellulase also increases market growth rapidly.

Brewing Enzymes Market: Restraints

The temperature and pH conditions required for brewing and increasing cost of raw materials hinder the market growth

The conditions and temperature or pH settings required for perfect brewing impede the market growth. The cost of the raw materials is quite high and they keep fluctuating which hampers the market growth as well. Lack of awareness and knowledge of the brewery process coupled with government regulations on the consumption of alcohol seems to disrupt the market growth considerably. There is a complete inconsistency in the regulations and protocols for leverage of brewery products which seems to hinder market growth exclusively.

Brewing Enzymes Market: Opportunities

The innovations and research in the brewing industries to hone the efficiency of processing beers provides opportunities for market expansion

The efficiency of manufacturing beer or wines is increasing because of the advanced solutions that manufacturers are coming up with in recent times. The productivity along with the volume of the beer and ease of efficiency in production seems to be the focus of the manufacturers which in return produces a great opportunity for the global brewing enzymes market growth. These brewers also shift towards commercial enzymes in place of natural enzymes to minimize the production time and increase the capacity. These exogenous enzymes as alternatives help the brewers in wide leverage of the products. This also provides new investment opportunities for the market exclusively.

Brewing Enzymes Market: Challenges

Government regulations about alcohol consumption along with protocols of brewing industries challenge market growth

There are so many regulations and rules from the authorities with regards to brewing industries and their functioning. Apart from this, the health hazards which come with the consumption of alcohol and the blooming awareness about this information also pose a challenge to the market.

The rise in demand of barely and low prices of malts challenges market growth as well

Malts actually reduce the leverage of barley which otherwise would make the processing more cumbersome. When using unmalted products, the brewer has to utilize more enzymes to finish the brewing performance to perfection. The lack of abundance of these enzymes and the low costs of malts poses a challenge for the global brewing enzymes market. Traditional brewing practices always involve less use of industrial enzymes and the leverage of enzymes such as amylase and proteases challenge market growth as well.
