The Middle East and Africa White Biotech Market is predicted to reach USD 13.52 billion in 2024 and USD 21.21 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 9.42% during the forecast period.
The technology related to life is called biotechnology. This technology is made up of human knowledge and skills. Biotechnology is established on the application of scientific and engineering principles. White biotechnology is also called industrial biotechnology. This technology uses enzymes and microorganisms to develop bio-based products that are used in various industries, including bioenergy, beauty and personal care, chemicals, food and feed, home care, and pharmaceuticals. End users in developing and underdeveloped regions are not very aware of the day-to-day benefits of white biotech-based products and the detrimental effects of greenhouse gas emissions from non-biologically based products.
Crude oil is the most important source of energy, as many industries depend on the use of chemicals derived from crude oil. However, the lack of oil reserves and environmental concerns have led to the need to develop sustainable methods to produce these chemicals. White biotechnology enables such materials to be produced from renewable sources. It offers substantial advantages over conventional methods. Biofuels are fuels produced from biomass. Biomass is organic material produced from animals and plants. Includes wood, crops and agricultural products, aquatic plants, forest products, waste and residues and animal waste. Biofuels can be used as substitutes for jet fuel. This helps reduce GHG emissions, promoting its adoption worldwide. Enzymatic technology is one of the most important technologies used in industrial processes. Protein engineering has improved the development of industrial enzymes because it uses recombinant technology to produce enzymes with new activities that easily adapt to new processes. Enzyme manufacturing involves recombinant expression in specific host organisms such as bacteria and yeast, fermentation, recovery, and formulation. Enzymes are implemented in the pulp, paper and textile industries for its applications like softening of wooden fibers and promote drainage. Enzymes are a sustainable alternative to aggressive chemicals used in industries. In fact, they are suitable for working in moderate conditions, such as hot temperatures and neutral potential of hydrogen (pH).
Middle East and Africa is one of the key emerging regions, which will generate significant opportunities in the Middle East and Africa White Biotech market during the forecast period due to the to increasing number of chemical industries. Bioethanol is largely manufactured using white biotechnology. It is primarily used as a fuel to improve vehicle efficiency and as a gasoline additive to improve a vehicle's octane number. Growth in the automotive sector, primarily in Germany, is expected to fuel the needs of the process during the forecast period.
