Report Scope

The scope of this report involves the use of biofuel enzymes in the wider biofuel industry. BCC analyzes each market and its applications, regulatory environment, technology, market projections and market share. This report mainly deals with the types of biofuel enzymes and covers the total market for amylases, cellulases, xylanases, lipases and other enzymes. Technological issues include the latest trends and developments.

Enzymes served in other industries — such as food and beverage, brewing, detergent, pharmaceutical, biopolymer, biochemical, animal nutrition and health, textile industry, fragrance industry, personal care etc. — are excluded from this report. The production of biofuel without using enzymes i.e. processes like gasification and torrefaction, are also excluded from this report.

The study conducted is global and includes the emerging markets for biofuel enzymes in Brazil, India, China, Japan, Nigeria, Thailand, Ghana, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada.

Relevant patent analysis is included in this report and comprehensive profiles of companies engaged in the biofuel enzyme industry are given. The key market players are Novozymes, E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company (DuPont), Royal DSM, Dyadic International Inc., Codexis Inc. and AB Enzymes GmbH.
