How is the Cellulase Market Fairing?

Cellulase is extensively used in processing coffee, mainly at the time of the drying process. Cellulase is used in winemaking owing to its cellulolytic properties, it breaks down the grape skin and also removes tannins and unpleasant aromas. Cellulase, interactively along with other enzymes is used to make fruit juices. Such wide applications of this enzyme are likely to boost the global cellulase market.

With the steady growth in the food and beverages industry, the cellulase market can be predicted to bloom at a considerable CAGR throughout the forecast period.

Cellulase is used in industrial applications to develop laundry detergents and washing and cleaning agents. The mushrooming rise in the industrial sector is lucratively impacting the cellulase market. Also, cellulase is widely known as a substitute for anti-biotic in treating biofilms produced by Pseudomonas.

The growing use of cellulase is witnessed in various industries, including bioethanol, paper, pulp, agriculture, and others. Particularly in the paper and pulp industry, the adoption of cellulase has increased, and it needs reduced energy while refining and assisting in enhancing paper quality.

Furthermore, when drinking the paper, cellulose enhances freeness, cleanliness, and brightness and removes the use of alkalis.

The demand for cellulase is growing in the agricultural sector to improve the fertility of the soil plant growth and to prevent and control diseases in plants. Also, the rising production of wheat and other cereals is propelling the growth of the market further.

Processing cellulase is not cost-effective and is meant to be one of the primary factors hindering the growth of the global market. Furthermore, cellulose is widely used for biomass saccharification, which restricts the commercialization of biomass bio-refineries. This factor, too, is anticipated to hinder the demand for cellulase in the market.

Growing Use of Biofuel Stirring the North American Market

In the global cellulase market, North America accounts for 34.4% market share. Amongst all the other regions, North America is predicted to lead the market owing to growing production and increased use of biofuel. In the recent past, the demand for biofuel has been soaring and therefore, the production too has increased, this factor has opened up a larger growth potential for cellulase.

In North America, a country like the USA is the leading cellulose market, so this region is anticipated to maintain its dominance over the forecast period. In July 2018, USA Energy Information Administration published a report stating that biofuel production has escalated in the USA from 1891 trillion butane to 2332 trillion.
