Asia Pacific Fruit And Vegetable Processing Enzymes Market

Asia Pacific Fruit and Vegetable Processing Enzymes Market Growth and Forecast (2022 - 2027):

Asia Pacific Fruit and Vegetable Processing Enzymes Market was worth USD 5.17 billion in 2021 and is estimated to be growing at a CAGR of 8.2%, to reach USD 7.66 billion by 2026. The process of preparing raw fruits and vegetables for human consumption is called fruit and vegetable processing. Changes can be made to raw food by physical or chemical means into products that can be readily consumed. Converting them into juice and pulp and making them dry or frozen, all these are a part of processing.

In order to make processing more efficient and less time consuming, enzymes are used in the process. Fruit juice enzymes such as pectinases allow high production capacity and low cost of juices. Some enzymes are used to liquefy the fruits and vegetables partially or completely to make sauce, pulp or juices. This reduces wastage, decrease viscosity of juices and make the filtration easier.

Drivers and Restraints:

Increase in demand for fruit processing enzymes in beverage production and technological advances in enzyme production are expected to drive the market. Increase in demand for processed fruit and vegetable products due to the increasing health consciousness among people and rising disposable incomes are also driving the market. Certain risks associated with the frozen and canned food products and regulations on temperature and pH values are restraining the market.
