Novozymes (Denmark) and DowDuPont (US) are the Key Players in the Microbial Lipase Market
Posted: Sep 30, 2021
The microbial lipase market was valued at USD 400.6 Million in 2017 and is projected to reach USD 590.2 Million by 2023, growing at a CAGR of 6.8% from 2018, in terms of value. The objectives of this study are to define, segment, and project the size of the microbial lipase market based on application, form, source, and key regions.
Microbial lipases are enzymes that act as catalysts and break down oils and solid fats into fatty acids and monoglycerides. Microbial lipases are generally extracted from yeast, fungi, and bacteria. Lipases are widely present in nature, but microbial lipases are more significant than the lipases obtained from plant and animal sources, due to their wide availability, greater stability, and low production cost.

Microbial lipases are highly diversified in their enzymatic properties and substrate specificity, which are useful for industrial applications. They play a vital role in the fermentation of cheese and yogurt. They are used in the bakery, dairy, laundry detergent, and animal feed industries. They are also used to convert vegetable oils into biofuel.
The microbial lipase market includes players such as Novozymes (Denmark), DSM (Netherlands), Chr. Hansen (Denmark), Amano Enzymes (Japan), Associated British Foods (UK), DowDuPont (US), Advanced Enzymes (India), Enzyme Development Corporation (US), Aumgene Biosciences (India), Biocatalysts (UK), Meito Sangyo Co., Ltd (Japan), and Creative Enzymes (US).
The market is concentrated with key market players adopting investments and strategic alliances, expansions, mergers & acquisitions, new product launches, partnerships, and agreements with other players to strengthen their business, explore new and untapped markets, expand in local areas of emerging markets, and develop a new customer base for long-term client relationships.

The company is focusing more on market visibility; productive R&D would create an opportunity for the growth of the microbial lipase market. Before the merger, DuPont had a three-tier strategy to achieve growth in this market. The first part of the strategy was to deliver new products by taking advantage of the power of integrated science; second, strongly pursuing knowledge in all its businesses; and third, significantly optimizing productivity using Six Sigma methodologies. DuPont has also been focusing on strengthening its R&D capabilities. This will help the company to sustain its leadership position in the market.
