Digestive enzymes are substances produced by human bodies that help in the digestion of food. These enzymes are secreted by the various parts of digestive system and they help to break down food components such as proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. This breakdown allows the nutrients from foods to be absorbed into our bloodstreams so that they can support the functioning of all of the cells in bodies.

Digestive Enzymes Market Dynamics 

The key factor boosting the growth of the market is increasing ageing population coupled with the increasing prevalence of gastrointestinal disorders.  The world’s 65-plus population, already at a historical high of over 600 million people, it’s projected to hit a full billion by 2030, and 1.6 billion by 2050.  The secretion of digestive enzymes usually decreases with age, which contributes to high levels of gastric discomfort, lower digestion rates, reduced food consumption, and/or a variety of other GI disorders. Therefore, with the increasing geriatric population, the market for digestive enzymes is expected to increase over the forecast.

Digestive Enzymes Market Segmental Overview
