The China α-Amylase market continues its steady growth trajectory, with current valuation at US$ 36.8 million in 2024 and projected expansion to US$ 50.7 million by 2030, demonstrating a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period. This enzyme, vital for starch hydrolysis across multiple industries, remains in high demand due to China’s thriving food processing sector and growing emphasis on biotechnological applications.
α-Amylase serves as a critical industrial enzyme, transforming raw starch into valuable maltose for food production, brewing, and textile processing. Recent advancements in enzyme engineering have expanded its utility beyond traditional applications, particularly in pharmaceutical starch modification and specialized brewing processes where purity requirements continue to rise.

Market Overview & Regional Dynamics
Eastern China dominates α-Amylase production with concentrated manufacturing hubs in Jiangsu and Shandong provinces. These regions benefit from well-established biotechnology infrastructure and proximity to major food processing centers. Southern provinces show accelerated growth in enzyme adoption, particularly in Guangdong’s beverage manufacturing sector and Zhejiang’s textile industry where starch desizing applications continue to expand.
Western China demonstrates emerging potential despite infrastructure limitations, with Sichuan and Chongqing becoming important secondary markets. The government’s “Go West” policy has stimulated some enzyme production relocation to these regions, though coastal areas maintain approximately 70% of total manufacturing capacity.
Key Market Drivers and Industry Opportunities
Food processing applications account for the dominant 60% market share, with juice concentration and syrup production showing particularly strong demand. The brewing industry’s shift toward high-efficiency enzymes has created specialized opportunities, especially for thermostable α-Amylase variants that maintain activity at elevated temperatures. Textile manufacturers are increasingly adopting enzymatic desizing as an eco-friendly alternative to chemical processes.
Significant opportunities exist in pharmaceutical excipient production, where modified starch applications require highly purified enzyme preparations. The development of immobilized enzyme systems presents another promising avenue, potentially reducing production costs through enzyme reuse while maintaining conversion efficiency.
Market Challenges and Constraints
Price volatility of agricultural raw materials impacts production economics, while stringent food safety regulations increase compliance costs for manufacturers. The market faces intensifying competition from imported enzyme preparations, particularly from European producers with advanced fermentation technologies. Domestic capacity expansions risk creating regional oversupply situations that could pressure profit margins.
Technical challenges persist in developing enzymes with broader pH tolerance and improved substrate specificity. Smaller manufacturers struggle with R&D investment requirements, leading to consolidation trends within the industry. Intellectual property protection remains an ongoing concern as enzyme engineering becomes more sophisticated.
