Mexico Biocatalyst Market

Mexico Biocatalyst Market Overview:

The Mexico biocatalyst market size reached 2,325.00 Kilo Tons in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach 3,576.04 Kilo Tons by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.90% during 2025-2033. The market is driven by increased demand for sustainable chemical processes, rising biofuel production, supportive environmental regulations, and expanding pharmaceutical and food processing sectors. Local investment in green technologies and the growing availability of raw materials further contribute to the market’s development across industrial and academic applications.

Mexico Biocatalyst Market Trends:

Adoption of Immobilized Enzymes in Industrial Bioprocesses

The adoption of immobilized enzyme systems in Mexican biocatalyst applications is gaining traction, especially in large-scale industrial processes. Immobilization enhances enzyme stability, reusability, and operational control, making it economically attractive for continuous and batch production environments. This technology is finding increased usage in sectors such as biofuel production, food processing, and wastewater treatment, where process efficiency and cost optimization are critical. For instance, in November 2023, Novozymes launched Quara LowP, an enzymatic solution for pre-treating renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) feedstocks. The product enhances the processing of HVO and HEFA feedstocks, enabling higher yields, lower operational costs, and reduced environmental impact. By replacing traditional methods like excessive use of bleaching clay, Quara LowP improves efficiency and supports sustainability goals. This innovation aligns with growing global demand for renewable fuels and highlights Novozymes' role in advancing industrial biosolutions. In addition, immobilized biocatalysts offer improved resistance to changes in temperature and pH, which is advantageous in diverse climatic and industrial settings across Mexico. Companies are investing in bioreactor systems and tailored enzyme carriers to optimize performance further. The focus on operational efficiency and environmental compliance is expected to reinforce the use of immobilized enzymes in various end-use industries.

Academic-Industrial Collaborations for Biocatalyst Innovation

Collaborations between Mexican academic institutions and industrial stakeholders are playing a vital role in driving innovation in the biocatalyst market. Universities and research centers are actively developing novel enzymes, optimizing expression systems, and exploring new substrates for catalysis. For instance, in July 2024, Amano Enzyme, with significant presence in Mexico, signed a five-year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Vietnam National University – Hanoi University of Science (VNU-HUS). The agreement focuses on collaborative research, technology transfer, and student exchange in enzyme and protein technology. These efforts are frequently supported by government-backed science and technology funding initiatives. Industrial partners contribute by scaling up successful prototypes and integrating them into commercial operations, thereby bridging the gap between laboratory research and market-ready solutions. Such partnerships also foster knowledge exchange, accelerate technology transfer, and create opportunities for local workforce development in biotechnology. As a result, Mexico is nurturing a domestic ecosystem of biocatalysis innovation, which strengthens national capacity for sustainable industrial practices and reduces reliance on imported enzymatic solutions.
