The fruit and vegetable processing enzymes market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market for enzymes used in fruit and vegetable processing has seen robust growth in the past few years. The size of this market is projected to increase from $43.99 billion in 2024 to $47.75 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The factors that contributed to the growth during the historic period include the expansion of the food and beverage sector, consumer preference for natural components, emphasis on health and functional foods, enhancements in processing performance, and regulatory approval for the application of enzymes.
The Fruit And Vegetable Processing Enzymes market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Expectations are for a substantial increase in the fruit and vegetable processing enzymes market, anticipated to reach $65.23 billion in 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%.
The surge in the forecast years could be linked to the rising demand for clean label products, implementation in innovative food products, breakthroughs in enzyme engineering, the shift towards plant-based proteins, the development of clean meat processing, and application in fermentation processes. Key tendencies to look for during the forecast period include the technological progression in enzyme production, enzymes that enhance texture, cold-pressed juice processing, incorporation with industry 4.0 technologies, and bespoke enzyme blends.
The rise in the number of vegetarians is forecasted to drive the fruit and vegetable processing enzyme market. A vegetarian diet primarily consists of vegetables, fruits, grains, and occasionally includes eggs or dairy products. Processing enzymes for fruits and vegetables aid vegetarians by enhancing the shelf-life of processed food items. As fruits and veggies are the primary food source for vegetarians, these enzymes prove essential in food storage. For example, in March 2022, The Conversation, a network of not-for-profit media outlets in Australia, reported that about 10% of Americans aged over 18 identified as vegan or vegetarian as of January 2022. Hence, the increasing vegetarian population contributes to the growth of the fruit and vegetable processing enzyme market.
