The China α-Amylase market size was valued at US$ 36.8 million in 2024 and is projected to reach US$ 50.7 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period. This steady expansion reflects the enzyme’s critical role across multiple industries and China’s position as both a major producer and consumer of enzymatic products.
α-Amylase enzymes continue to gain importance in China’s industrial landscape due to their ability to break down starch into simpler sugars. While traditionally used in food processing, newer applications in textiles, brewing, and pharmaceuticals are driving innovation. Chinese manufacturers are increasingly investing in enzyme engineering to develop more efficient and stable variants.

Market Overview & Regional Dynamics
China dominates Asia’s α-Amylase production, accounting for over 45% of regional output. The concentration of food processing facilities in Guangdong and Shandong provinces creates strong localized demand, while coastal locations facilitate enzyme exports. Domestic consumption currently accounts for 68% of production, with the balance serving Southeast Asian and African markets.
Eastern China leads in high-grade enzyme production, housing most R&D centers and advanced manufacturing facilities. Central China focuses on cost-effective mid-grade enzymes primarily for animal feed applications, while Western China shows potential as emerging production hubs due to lower operational costs.
Growth Drivers and Emerging Opportunities
The market’s expansion stems from multiple factors. China’s food processing industry modernization creates demand for specialized enzymes, while regulatory shifts toward cleaner production methods favor enzyme-based solutions over chemical alternatives. The growth of craft brewing and premium beverage sectors has increased need for high-purity amylase variants.
New opportunities are emerging in textile desizing, where enzymes offer environmental advantages over traditional chemicals. Pharmaceutical applications for starch modification show particular promise, with several domestic companies developing medical-grade amylase products. Feed industry applications continue expanding as livestock production intensifies.
Industry Challenges and Constraints
Despite positive growth trends, the market faces several obstacles. Price volatility in raw materials like cornstarch impacts production costs, while stringent environmental regulations increase compliance burdens for smaller manufacturers. Technical bottlenecks in enzyme stability and shelf-life present ongoing R&D challenges.
International competition remains intense, particularly from European enzyme producers with advanced technologies. Domestic overcapacity in standard-grade amylase has led to margin pressures, pushing companies to differentiate through specialized formulations. IP protection continues to be a concern for innovators developing novel enzyme strains.
