What’s Driving Transglutaminase Market Growth?

“Growing Consumption of Fermented Food Products Driving Market Progress”

Fermented foods are produced by controlled microbial growth and the conversion of food components through enzymatic action. Many foods such as meat & fish, dairy, vegetables, soybeans, legumes, cereals, and fruits undergo fermentation.

Consumption of fermented food is increasing rapidly due to the various health and nutritional benefits associated with them. Consumer awareness is also driving demand for these products. Food enzymes are mostly used during the fermentation process to accelerate the production process and provide nutritional benefits.

Microbial Fermentation Sourced Transglutaminase (MTG) is used in various food applications, including meat products, cheese, yogurt, and bread. Consumer preference for such products will remain strong in the future, which will positively impact the global market for bakery enzymes.

Will Use of Microbial-sourced Transglutaminase Instead of Animal-sourced Variants Aid Market Growth?

“Enzymes Synthesized by Microorganism to Enjoy Wider Scope”

The market for transglutaminase is set to witness significant growth in Microbial Fermentation (MTGs) at a value CAGR 8.1%. Extremely high cost of manufacturing transglutaminase from animal sources has compelled scientists to look for new sources of this enzyme. Efforts are targeted at producing enzymes that are synthesized by microorganisms and may enjoy wider scope of use.

Application of isolated transglutaminase enzymes from a microbiological source has contributed to the simplification of certain processes and provided energy and economic savings. Established transgenesis procedures have given rise to growing adoption of microbial transglutaminase.

Transfer of microbial genes to expression systems such as Escherichia coli has increased production efficiency. It is also observed that these enzymes are safer for consumers and easily biodegradable, which, in contrast to chemical substances, provides great advantages for the market to grow. Development of new technologies leading to increase in production will significantly aid market growth of transglutaminase.

Will Increased Investments in Research & Development of Meat Glue Bring in Lucrative Business Opportunities?

Transglutaminase is a calcium-activated multifunctional enzyme, well known for the formation of ε-(γ-glutamyl) lysine isopeptide bonds that lead to protein cross-linking and provide resistance to proteolytic cleavage, and ultimately, stabilization and increased stiffness of the Extracellular Matrix (ECM). Transglutaminase is reported to have various pathological roles, including cancer metastases, celiac disease, and tissue fibrosis.

Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is an incurable and life-threatening disease with an average survival rate of 2–3 years. Use of transglutaminase in the cure of such diseases will create lucrative business opportunities in the near future.

Which Factors are Restraining Transglutaminase Demand Growth?

“Rising Popularity of Non-GMO Products to Dent Market Expansion”

Factor restraining market growth is rising preference for non-GMO products. Food enzymes are primarily produced from microorganisms, plant, and animal sources. Some food enzyme sources such as yeast, bacteria, and fungi are genetically modified organisms.

Consumers across the world are adopting non-GMO, natural, and organic food, which is affecting the use of genetically-modified enzymes in the food industry. Since most food enzymes are produced from microorganisms, the non-GMO movement is influencing consumers to avoid food products made from genetically modified organisms. This can affect the sales of transglutaminase.

Another factor retraining market growth is the consumption of MTG leading to complications in patients with celiac disease. MTG is a cross-linker that is heavily consumed as a protein glue in multiple processed food industries. However, various scientific observations are coming forth concerning its undesirable effects on human health. Functionally, MTG acts as an autoantigen (that works against the autoantibodies produced by the immune system) for celiac disease and further impacts the gut health.

Country-wise Insights
