Overview
With the increase of beer consumption across the world, positive lifestyle changes and growing disposable income in the developing countries, the demand for beer has gone up rapidly in recent years. In order to match the jump in demand, the producers of beers have focused on brewing enzymes to increase capacity, reduce the time of production, ageing of final products and allowed a use of a raw material alternative to malt ie. Barley + enzymes, according to report by Transparency Market Research.
This change in a process also results in a production of same quality of beer in less time, and improves utilisation of vessel, reduce energy consumption and low maturation duration with high beer quality.
There are the different type of enzymes which come into use at different brewing process of producing beer and also used to modify the taste and content of beer, producing light beers, containing fewer calories. The market for brewing enzymes is growing but not every player in the beer industry uses brewing enzymes and really few accept the use of brewing enzymes in the production process.
Segmentation
Brewing enzymes market is majorly segmented by the enzyme type, by a process, by function and region wise. On the basis of enzyme type brewing enzymes used during brewing process of beer segmented as amylases (carbohydrate enzymes), proteases (protein enzymes), peptidases, and Beta-glucanases and xylanases (cellulose enzymes). Other important brewing enzymes are pullulanases amyloglucosidases and Alpha-acetolactate-decarboxylases.
Each of these enzymes is important for brewing and every enzyme has different function resulting in the fast brewing of beer. The α-amylases is one of the most versatile enzymes most widely used enzyme because it has an abundance of starch, and find it’s applicability if applications from the conversion of starch to sugar syrups in the brewing industry.
Brewing enzymes can be also segmented on the basis of function like increasing free amino nitrogen production, improve filtration, and to reduce the presence of polysaccharides like glucans which are viscous in nature. It also increases fermentable glucose production during the light beer production. Basically, brewing enzymes result in enhanced chill proofing, cold haze and definitively faster maturation.
Brewing enzymes market can also be segmented on the basis of geography but the segmentation is done one the basis of parent market trends ie. brewing market. China is one of the major players in Asia-Pacific market and rules the market with respect to demand of brewing enzymes. The North American region has a high demand of brewing enzymes due to huge production of beer in the US, followed closely by Europe, pertaining the demand of brewing enzymes, due to high production of beer in Germany, UK, Poland and Spain. The growth will be moderate to slow due to maturity in developed regions Western Europe and North America causing rapid growth in the Asia/Pacific and other developing regions.
Drivers
Brewing enzymes market is driven by growth in beer and industrial enzyme market. Brewing industry has grown quickly in recent years and shows promising growth in coming years from the developing regions, impacting the growth of brewing enzymes markets positively. Also with increasing demand for light beer, due to rise in health consciousness and increasing buying power of the developing nation, the developing nations will steer the growth of brewing enzymes market.
Multinational players continue to make huge investments to grow their market coverage and collaborating with domestic operators, to tap markets in different regions, will also result in demand of brewing enzymes. Hence, it is possible to alter the taste and colour of beer by adding enzymes during the brewing process, the producers are not shying away with experimenting and launching new flavours in the market.
Key Players
Few of the major user of brewing enzymes are categorised under brewing enzymes buyers (demand side), and brewing enzymes suppliers. Major brewing enzymes users are Miller Coors (US), SABMiller (UK), Heineken NV, A B Miller Plc, Anheuser-Busch InBev, Carlsberg Group, Diageo Plc, Tsingtao Brewery, Boston Beer Company and Beijing Yanjing Brewery. Major suppliers of brewing enzymes are AB Enzymes, Advanced Enzymes, Danisco (DuPont), Novozymes, DSM and Amano Enzyme.
