Fermentation Products Market

Fermentation Products Market Overview:

The Fermentation Products Market was valued at $149,469 million in 2016, and is expected to reach $205,465 million by 2023, registering a CAGR of 4.7% from 2017 to 2023. Fermentation is a metabolic process that involves conversion of sugar, cellulosic material, and starch into food, feed, fuel, and other industrial products. This conversion uses microorganisms or enzymes as raw materials and is carried out in bioreactors or fermenters. After this process, subsequent downstream processing is required to purify and isolate the target product. Fermentation products are necessary ingredients utilized in the production of bio-based products. Stringent government regulations imposed by key regulatory authorities in developed economies are anticipated to increase the demand for fermentation products during forecast period. These products assists in food preservation and extend shelf life of products in the food & beverage industry. Continuous R&D activities and acquisitions & mergers have been adopted by fermentation product manufacturers to expand their existing product portfolio and increase their market share.

Growth of the bioethanol industry, and rise in awareness among customers regarding bio-based products and ecological concerns drive growth and development of fermentation products market. Increase in demand for antibiotics & steroids and rise in use of fermentation products as raw material in textile, leather, plastic, chemical, and rubber industries further supplement market growth. North America is the leading region, due to increase in popularity of food and pharmaceutical products produced by use of fermentation products. Regulations framed by agencies, such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and European Commission, categorically promote green chemistry, growth of which is supported by utilization of fermentation products. However, irregular supply of raw materials, such as nutrients & microorganisms utilized in production of fermentation products, stringent regulations, and high manufacturing cost limit the market growth. In addition, economic viability of global fermentation-based chemical industry depends on price of alternative feedstock and relative product yields. Diversified demand for fermentation products in the emerging economies, such as India, China, and Brazil, technological innovation, and rise in number of applications are anticipated to provide lucrative opportunities for market expansion.

The fermentation products market is segmented based on type, feedstock, process, end-user industry, and geography. On the basis of type, it is divided into alcohols, amino acids, organic acids, biogas, polymers, vitamins, antibiotics, and industrial enzymes. According to feedstock, it is categorized into corn, rice, wheat, sugar cane, cassava, barley, potatoes, sorghum, sugar beet, other coarse grains, and other roots & tubers. Other coarse grains comprise oats, millet, triticale, buckwheat, rye, canary seed, fonio, and quinoa, while other roots & tubers include yams, sweet potatoes, yautia, and taro. Based on process, the market is classified into batch fermentation, continuous fermentation, and others (aerobic fermentation and anaerobic fermentation). According to end-user industry, it is divided into food & beverages; pharmaceutical; agriculture; personal care; animal feed; textile & leather; and others (paper, bioremediation, environment, and biochemistry). Geographically, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
