Digestive enzymes are biological catalysts that play a crucial role in breaking down food into nutrients that can be efficiently absorbed by the body. These enzymes, including proteases, lipases, and amylases, are widely used in dietary supplements, pharmaceuticals, and functional foods to support digestive health. Compared to traditional digestive aids, enzyme-based products offer faster action, improved nutrient absorption, and enhanced gastrointestinal comfort.

The Digestive Enzyme Market is witnessing robust growth driven by rising digestive disorders, increasing health awareness, and growing demand for preventive healthcare solutions. The expanding aging population and lifestyle-related issues such as poor diet and stress have further contributed to the rising adoption of digestive enzyme supplements.

Additionally, increasing consumer preference for natural and plant-based enzyme formulations, along with growing applications in animal feed and food processing industries, is fueling market expansion. Technological advancements in enzyme extraction and formulation are also supporting sustained market growth globally.
