According to Future Market Insights, the global xylanase market is forecast to register a value CAGR of 5.4% from 2023 to 2033. As per the analysis, market demand for xylanase is slated to be valued at US$ 19.5 billion by the end of 2023, and will eventually reach US$ 33 billion at the aforementioned growth rate by 2033. Attributed to its multi-functional nature, xylanase is being incorporated into a variety of end uses, such as animal feed, food & culinary applications, and industrial use. In addition, the enzyme is also utilized in bleaching wood pulp and the treatment of agricultural waste.
Xylanase is an enzyme responsible for the catalysis of xylan residues. They play an important role in the textile, feed, wastewater, and pulp & paper industries. Xylanase can come from different microbial sources, including the bacteria actinomycetes and yeast. Depending on the microbial sources are the activity levels characteristics and overall quality of the enzyme. Also, the use of xylanase has the potential to improve the overall economics of processing lignocellulosic materials for generating liquid fuels and chemicals.
The animal feed industry is expected to be a sunshine area for xylanase manufacturers. As the global population rises, the demand for food is also increasing exponentially. To cater to this rising demand, consumption of animal-based food products, including meat and milk, is expected to rise as well. Therefore, rearing livestock and providing them with proper nutrition so as to get a good quality yield is important. Hence, animal feeds are being fortified with essential nutrients, enzymes, and vitamins.
Danisco A/S- a prominent Danish bio-based food production company, offers innovative feed additive solutions to enable antibiotic-free and sustainable livestock production. The company offers a range of xylanase enzyme-enriched feed additives, targeting arabinoxylans in dietary fibers to mitigate their negative effects and generate additional energy. It helps to release valuable nutrients, reduce digesta viscosity, and improve litter quality as well as fecal consistency.
Likewise, Sunson Enzymes offers a range of food-grade xylanase powder for baking brewing starch, and feed. The product helps with the release of nutrients for feedstuff by efficiently hydrolyzing xylans and promoting absorption by reducing the viscosity of feed in animals’ digestive tracts. This helps enhance the biological value of the feed. For baking purposes, the powder can either be added into flour to produce specialty flour for bread or steamed bun or added during baking to improve dough handling properties, volume, and crumb structure.
Royal DSM offers the RONOZYME® WX- a non-starch polysaccharide (NSP) xylanase enzyme that degrades both soluble and insoluble xylans. The end result is increased nutrient availability and improved digestibility of corn, wheat, rye, triticale, barley, and grain by-products. The product offering is specially intended to improve digestibility in poultry and swine animals.
In December 2020, EW Nutrition launched Axxess® XY in Malaysia. Axxess® XY is a next-generation intrinsically thermostable xylanase, with unparalleled stability under high temperatures and especially longer conditioning time. With its ability to break down both the soluble and insoluble fiber fractions from feed ingredients, the enzyme offers high flexibility in feed formulation. The product thus gives feed producers peace of mind when working with various feed processing conditions, as well as significant feed cost savings.
Other prominent market players offering xylanase include Habio, Enzyme Development Corporation, BioResource International Inc., Elanco, ADM, Shenzhen Leveking Bio-Engineering Co. Ltd. and Shandong Longda Bio-Products Co. Ltd.

Nutritional additives in animal feed are a prime requirement in the poultry industry. Furthermore, the cost of animal feed in poultry and livestock production is high compared with other operating costs.
Thus, the use of xylanase in animal feed is considered as the best and affordable alternative over other enzymes to boost livestock feed digestivity. Due to its increased requirement in the animal feed industry, the xylanase market is expected to rise during the forecast period.
Besides its use as a feed additive, xylanase is also used in baked products. Xylanase is part of a group of enzymes used in fiber-rich, yeast-leavened foods made from whole wheat flour and whole grains as a dough conditioner.
This helps to improve the properties of dough. Xylanase can substitute conventional chemical additives, along with other bakery enzymes, which makes xylanase useful for producing clean label bakery products.
Among Industries, xylanase is used as ingredient in paper and pulp industry. Xylanase is beneficial for pulp and Kraft bleaching. The use of ecofriendly xylanase over the toxic chemical usage in paper and pulp industry further fuels the growth of global xylanase market.

Increasing Demand for Clean Label Bakery Products is Driving the Demand for Xylanase Market
Baked goods are witnessing a rise in demand due to the additives like xylanase being used in their production. Additives such as xylanase have affected the possibility of consuming baked goods for a longer period of time when preserved in specified conditions
Consumer demand for free from chemical additives is increasing with time. Xylanase enzymes can be used as a substitute for potassium bromate, a chemical compound which has been banned in a number of countries. Rapid technical advancements have produced many innovative xylanase enzymes available for the baking industry.
Observing the thriving demand for natural products and the rapid progression of new startups, traditional large-cap consumer good companies have looked to advance by structuring out their personal natural divisions or acquiring smaller brands existing in the market.

Rising Demand for Healthy Poultry Products to Fuel the Growth of Xylanase Market
In the past, broiler meat was considered a luxury commodity but, as a result of growing urbanization and higher levels of disposable income, poultry meat is increasingly seen as less of a premium commodity and more of an everyday food.
Despite the growing vegan population the poultry sector has witnessed continuous growth. Consumers are also fully aware of poultry health and nutritional needs, which is increasing demand for feed additives such as Xylanase. Xylanase has been commonly applied to commercial wheat compound feeds for broilers in order to mitigate NSP's anti-nutritional effects.
Some previous studies have shown that adding xylanase in wheat-based diets may reduce the viscosity of the intestines by partially hydrolyzing wheat NSP, resulting in better nutrient digestilities and broiler performance. The growth of the global xylanase market is expected to be driven by increased consumption and demand for healthy poultry products.
