Based on type, the market is segmented as dry and liquid. The global market is witnessing a fascinating shift in its feed type landscape, with dry feed type capturing the dominant share with USD 695.7 million in 2023. Dry enzymes generally have longer shelf life and are more stable during storage and transportation, making them more practical for many users. Dry formulations are generally easier to handle and require less specialized equipment compared to liquid enzymes which facilitates its consumption on a wider scale.
 

Based on product type, the market is categorized into xylanase, alpha-amylase, beta-glucanase, cellulase and other Sources. Xylanases dominate the market with over 55% share due to their widespread applicability to various animal feeds and their significant impact on nutrient digestibility, particularly in monogastric animals. Amylases hold a significant share due to their crucial role in starch breakdown, a major component of many animal feeds. Glucanases and cellulases have smaller shares but are essential for specific feed types and animal species.
 

Based on livestock, the market consists of poultry, swine, ruminants, aquatic animals and others. Poultry holds the largest share of over 43% due to their limited ability to digest non-starch polysaccharides (NSPs) like Xylan, making them highly dependent on xylanases for improved nutrient utilization. Swine also relies heavily on carbohydrases, particularly xylanases and amylases, to acquire nutrients from plant-based diets. Aquatic animals often benefit from carbohydrases while targeting specific plant-based ingredients or complex carbohydrates in algae-based feeds.
 

Asia Pacific dominated the global feed carbohydrase market in 2023. Within Asia Pacific, China generated a revenue of over USD 175 million in 2023.  China plays a leading role in global animal feed production, with carbohydrases being widely used to improve feed digestibility and nutrient utilization in livestock and poultry. The Chinese government prioritizes innovation in the biotechnology sectors, potentially boosting demand for specialized carbohydrases in these areas.
