The growth of the white biotechnology market is anticipated to be fueled by the escalating demand for biofuels. Biofuels, which are renewable energy derived from biological substances, have seen a steep rise in demand globally. Some of the most commonly used biofuels like biodiesel, biogas, and others, are generated from organic by-products and corn-based ethanol. White biotechnology plays a significant role in the eco-friendly synthesis of biofuels using living organisms or their enzymes obtained from renewable sources. For instance, the International Energy Agency (IEA), an autonomous intergovernmental organization based in France, in their December 2022 report, predicted that the global production of biodiesel would increase to 47.4 billion liters in 2022, a rise from 45.7 billion in 2021. Similarly, the production of ethanol has also soared to 114 billion liters in 2022. As such, the growing demand for biofuels serves as a primary catalyst driving the expansion of the white biotechnology market.

Emerging technological innovations are a major trend that is becoming prevalent in the white biotechnology market. The sector has observed the implementation of novel and sophisticated technology platforms such as co-polymer and precise platforms, which rely on biotechnological applications and aid in the invention of extraordinary products. Dominant corporations in the white biotechnology sphere are concentrating on these discoveries to maintain their market standing. For example, in June 2023, International Flavors & Fragrances Inc., a fragrance, flavors, and cosmetic actives producer based in the US, introduced its Designed Enzymatic Biomaterials (DEB) technology, a platform for Biomaterials technology meant to generate sustainable biopolymers. This technology platform empowers manufacturers to adjust to evolving market demands and legislative alterations by replacing traditional synthetic polymers derived from fossil fuels. By employing the DEB technology platform, scientists have the ability to directly embed the characteristics of petroleum-based polymers into biopolymer materials, refining and adapting polysaccharides to offer sustained performance enhancements in the selected application.
