The use of bio-enzymes pervades across many industrial sectors in India. Among them, the major driving force in the enzyme market comes from the Food & Beverage industry. In recent times, the food sector has witnessed several innovations and growth driven by a diverse lifestyle, improved dietary patterns, and the production of nutrient-rich food and beverages. This is followed by animal healthcare enzymes and industrial enzymes, categorized into detergent, paper and pulp, and food processing.
In addition, enzymes also play a crucial role in the baking industry because they make the dough soft and reduce the time of baking. Today, enzymes act as final products in medicines and dietary supplements and play a vital role in different industrial processes. Despite such growing demands, the bio-enzyme segment in India is still at its nascent stages of development as approximately 60-70 percent of the critical enzymes are imported.
Moreover, the development & production of enzymes is a highly skilled and technical process. The post-production process also requires a continuous set of research & development. There are a certain set of protocols, systems, reagents, and equipment that together play a critical role in the production & analysis process. This makes the enzyme segment in India a highly untapped and highly scientific-driven market. Better methods for producing enzymes and the ability to dramatically change their properties have opened the door to new applications in a wide range of industries, where they reduce costs, produce less waste, and help decrease energy, water, and toxic chemical use.

"Our idea for the future is to produce maximum enzymes in India rather than depending upon imports. Besides this, we are also working on isolating certain organisms or strains, which will allow us to scale up our enzyme production processes. We are also keenly working to optimize the entire process, in which we will be focusing more on the maximum yield of enzymes, and our next future plan is to venture deeper into the specialty enzyme segment," summarizes Gaurav.
