The global market for enzymes used in textile processing is valued at US$581.6 million in 2025 and is forecast to reach US$825.0 million by 2031, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.0% over 2025-2031. The report covers enzyme preparations sold to textile mills for wet processing: desizing, scouring, bleaching, bio-polishing and denim finishing. Textile chemicals and dyes are excluded. Values are model estimates built from published anchors, trade statistics and company disclosures; no supplier reports a separate textile enzyme revenue figure.
The report segments the market by six enzyme types and five applications across five regions. Cellulase is the largest type (35.0% of 2025 value), Bio-Polishing is the largest application (28.9%), and Asia Pacific is the largest region (38.4%). Laccase and Catalase is the fastest-growing type (7.0% CAGR) and Enzymatic Bleaching the fastest-growing application (6.9% CAGR). Regional shares are estimates and are held constant over the forecast. The report profiles 18 suppliers, from large enzyme and ingredient groups to specialist textile enzyme makers, and gives no company market shares because none could be verified.
