Lipase is an enzyme produced by the pancreas that catalyzes biochemical reactions in which the hydrolysis of fats takes place. It also hydrolyzes ester bonds in triglycerides to form monoglycerides and free fatty acids and also helps in the formation of fatty acids. Lipases are also involved in inflammation and cell signaling. Absence or inadequacy of lipase in the body results in high cholesterol, high risk of diabetes, decreased cell permeability, muscle spasms, and high levels of triglycerides in the body. Lipases are used in industries for yogurt and cheese fermentation. Recombinant lipase enzymes are being used in applications such as laundry detergents, baking, and as biocatalysts in converting vegetable oil into fuel.

Market Drivers 

The increase in pancreatic disorders and the number of patients undergoing pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy, the use of lipases in the cosmetics industry, changing food habits, and an increase in consumption of dairy products are driving the lipase market. The use of lipase in the food and beverages industry as a flavoring agent and to increase the shelf life of food products is also expected to drive the market.

Market Restraints

Uncertainties in patent protection laws are restraining the market growth.
