Middle East and Africa Lipase Market size is worth USD 41.77 million in 2025 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.83%, to reach USD 60.92 million by 2033.
Lipase is an enzyme produced by pancreas which catalyzes biochemical reactions in which hydrolysis of fats take place. It also hydrolyzes ester bonds in triglycerides to form mono glycerides and free fatty acids and also helps in formation of fatty acids. Lipases are also involved in inflammation and cell signaling.
Absence or inadequacy of lipase in body results in high cholesterol, high risk towards diabetes, decreased cell permeability, muscle spasms and high levels of triglycerides in the body. Lipases are used in industries for yogurt and cheese fermentation. Recombinant lipase enzymes are being used in applications such as laundry detergents, baking and as biocatalysts in converting vegetable oil into fuel.
Increase in pancreatic disorders and number of patients undergoing pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy, use of lipases in cosmetics industry, changing food habits and increase in consumption of dairy products are driving the lipase market. Use of lipase in food and beverages industry as flavoring agent and to increase shelf life of food products is also expected to drive the market.
Uncertainties in patent protection laws are restraining the market growth.
Microbial lipases produced from bacteria and yeast account for the largest market share as they are most preferred in enzymes industry due to the low cost and high effectiveness compared to that of plants and animals.
Animal feed application leads the market in this segment due to increase in livestock production and increasing meat consumption. Dairy products applications are the fastest growing segment due to the changing eating habits and rise in disposable incomes of people.
Middle East and Africa market is steadily growing due to the increasing in consumption of dairy products in developing regions of such as South Africa and Israel.
Major Key Players in the MEA Lipase Market are E. I. Du Pont De Nemours and Company, Associated British Foods PLC, Amano Enzymes Inc, Novozymes A/S, Advanced Enzymes, Enzyme Development Corporation, Renco New Zealand, Koninklijke DSM N.V, Chr. Hansen Holdings A/S, and Clerici-Sacco Group
