Paris (PRWEB) July 8, 2008 -- According to CBDM.T®, The market and business intelligence company, the enzyme market is significant and estimated at € 3.4 billion with an annual growth of about 6.5 to 10%. Enzyme products such as Insulin were the first biotech product marketed in the 70's. While enzymes are present everywhere and come in thousands of different forms, there are still only about 25 of them which have actually been industrialised and commercialised. They include Amylase, Proteinase, Lipase, Cellulase, Glycomylase, Glucose Isomerase, Chymosin, Lactase, Pullulanase and Xylanase.
Some countries have a better developed enzyme industry than others, so descriptions of these countries and the nature of the environment they provide for upcoming businesses is given in this market review. In some countries, the industry was developed with support from the state from as early as the 1980's. These are countries such as Denmark, USA and Brazil. The real breakthrough in the industry happened during the 1970s. A new technology was developed, recombinant biotechnology, and this permitted biochemists to create and modify molecules at an unprecedented level.
Enzymes are sold in many different industry segments. These segments are Detergents, Food, Feed, Technical, Pharmaceutical, Microorganisms and Biofuel. For example in the feed industry, enzymes help pigs or chickens digest their food better, which in the end helps producing better meat, while using smaller amounts of fodder. These segments are thoroughly described in this e
