Global Food Grade Lysozyme Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

The global Food Grade Lysozyme market size is predicted to grow from US$ 39.08 million in 2025 to US$ 57.37 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.7% from 2026 to 2032.

Food grade lysozyme, also known as muramidase or N-acetylmuramide glycanohydrlase, is an alkaline enzyme that can hydrolyze mucopolysaccharides in bacteria. Lysozyme mainly breaks the β-1,4 glycosidic bond between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetylglucosamine in the cell wall, decomposing the insoluble mucopolysaccharide of the cell wall into soluble glycopeptides, causing cell wall rupture and bacterial dissolution. Lysozyme can also directly bind to negatively charged viral proteins and form complexes with DNA, RNA, and apoproteins to inactivate the virus.

Lysozyme, can be manufactured by egg white or microbial fermentation. Presently, feed grade lysozyme is mainly produced via microbial fermentation, while lysozyme made from egg white is widely used in food industry, pharma industry, etc. Enzyme activity is a very key indicator for food grade lysozyme. The much higher the activity of lysozyme is, the more expensive of its price.

Major production of food grade lysozyme is distributed in Europe and China. Bioseutica and Greensnow Egg Products Development are representatives of the industry.

The market for food grade lysozyme is influenced by several key drivers:

Food Preservation: food grade lysozyme is widely used as a natural preservative due to its antimicrobial properties, particularly in the food industry, to extend shelf life and maintain food quality.

Rising Demand for Natural Ingredients: There’s a growing consumer preference for natural and clean-label products, leading to increased use of food grade lysozyme as a natural alternative to synthetic preservatives.

Health and Wellness Trends: The health benefits associated with lysozyme, such as its role in boosting the immune system and its antimicrobial properties, are driving its use in dietary supplements and functional foods.
