Global Plastic-Degrading Enzyme Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Plastic-Degrading Enzyme market size is predicted to grow from US$ 2.8 million in 2025 to US$ 4.2 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.0% from 2025 to 2031.

A plastic-degrading enzyme is a type of protein that can break down plastic polymers into smaller molecules, such as monomers or oligomers, through biochemical reactions. These enzymes are naturally produced by certain microorganisms (e.g., bacteria, fungi) or can be engineered in laboratories to enhance their efficiency and specificity. Plastic-degrading enzymes have gained significant attention as a potential solution to address the global plastic pollution crisis by enabling the biodegradation of plastics that would otherwise persist in the environment for hundreds of years.

Enzymes are currently used in many everyday applications (detergents, biofuels, food, textiles, paper), but using them for the degradation of plastic polymers and textiles for industrial purposes had never been considered. Currently, only a few companies in the world have achieved significant research results in this area.

Plastic-degrading enzymes represent a promising biotechnology for addressing the global plastic pollution crisis. While challenges remain, ongoing research and technological advancements are paving the way for their effective use in waste management, recycling, and environmental remediation. By harnessing the power of these enzymes, people can move closer to a more sustainable and circular economy.
