According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Plant Proteases market size was valued at US$ 123 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 191 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 6.6% during review period.
Plant proteases are a class of hydrolytic enzymes derived from plant tissues (such as papaya, pineapple, and fig). They catalyze the breakdown of proteins into polypeptides or amino acids and are widely used in food processing, pharmaceuticals, animal feed, and biotechnology. They are characterized by their naturalness, safety, and clean labeling. In 2025, global sales of plant proteases reached 12,000 tons, with an average price of US$99.85 million per ton, corresponding to a market size of approximately US$120 million. The industry's gross profit margin is approximately 30%–60%. The upstream of the plant protease industry chain mainly includes the supply of plant raw materials (papaya, pineapple, fig, etc.), agricultural planting systems, and basic chemical reagents (buffer solutions, stabilizers, etc.). The supply of raw materials exhibits significant regional and seasonal characteristics. For example, bromelain mainly relies on agricultural resources in tropical regions, making upstream prices and supply stability susceptible to climate and agricultural product fluctuations. The midstream is the core production stage, including enzyme extraction (pressing, centrifugation), purification (precipitation, membrane filtration, chromatography), and formulation (spray drying, stabilization). With the development of biotechnology, some companies have begun to use recombinant expression to replace traditional plant extraction to improve consistency and reduce costs. Downstream applications cover the food industry (meat tenderizers, dairy processing), pharmaceuticals (anti-inflammatory drugs, digestive agents), animal feed (improving protein digestibility), and industrial fields (leather softening, detergents).
