PEPSIN MARKET OVERVIEW

The global pepsin market size was USD 0.02 billion in 2024 and market is projected to touch USD 0.07 billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 10.2% during the forecast period from 2025 To 2033.

Pepsin is a specific aspartic acid hydrolase that breaks down dietary proteins into peptides. Its zymogen (pepsinogen) is generated by the main cells in the stomach. It is a particular protease as well. Theodor Schwann discovered it in 1836, and John H. Northrop crystallized it as one of the earliest enzymes in 1928. One of the three main proteolytic (protein-degrading) enzymes in the digestive tract, together with chymotrypsin and trypsin, is pepsin. One of the earliest enzymes to be isolated in crystalline form was the trio of enzymes. Pepsin's widespread use in the pharmaceutical industry will generate many chances for market expansion. Pepsin is frequently the main component in the creation of drugs for gastrointestinal illnesses.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Imposed Restrictions in the Economy Resulted in Decline in the Market 

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the Global Pepsin Market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The COVID-19 outbreak caused temporary business closures as well as supply chain and manufacturing disruptions, which in turn reduced the development of telecom infrastructure and had a negative effect on the sales and marketing efforts of rugged phone companies competing in the market. The effects were severe, particularly for startups and small- to medium-sized businesses operating in this industry. Companies did, however, make a lot of restructuring efforts to address the supply chain difficulties and improve collaboration with suppliers and partners to lessen the negative market impact.

LATEST TRENDS

Growth of the market in recent years

Gastric secretions contain the potent stomach enzyme pepsin, which breaks down proteins in ingested food including meat, nuts, and dairy products. The main acid protease in the stomach and an endopeptidase is called pepsin. Even Pepsin A, Pepsin B, and Pepsin C (gastricsin) have been given names. With one aromatic amino acid accounting for about 20% of protein digestion, pepsin preferentially hydrolyzes peptide bonds. Pepsin also functions best at a pH range of 1.5 to 2.0 and becomes inactive at higher pH levels. Pepsin is activated by a low pH. The pepsin enzyme, which breaks down the protein, is used to eliminate the unwanted traces of hair, tissues, and other components that are stuck to leather.

In addition, plant-based leather has made inroads into the market thanks to its distinctive features and the growing veganism trend.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Several Challenges Associated with the Local Irritation to Restrain the Market

Pepsin has a variety of uses in the food and beverage industry, which helps the market expand. The pepsin enzyme is a crucial element of pancreatic curd, which twists and condenses as cheese is made for various uses. Demand for cheese is strong. The addition of cheese to fast food to enhance flavor has a hugely favorable effect on the sales of that dish. Consequently, there is an increase in cheese demand. Cheese producers utilize pepsin because it is affordable and accessible to meet the demand. Rennet has been replaced by pepsin in the production of cheese. Thus, pepsin enzymes are used to cure leather in order to remove impurities and produce high-quality leather for subsequent uses.
