According to the “China Textile Enzyme Market Research and Investment Strategy Report (2019 Edition)” published by Limu Information Consulting, the current textile bio-enzymes are mainly used in the washing and printing-dyeing markets. The biological enzymes that have been successfully developed for pre-treatment of printing-dyeing include desizing enzyme (amylase), refining enzyme (mainly pectinase), deoxygenase (catalase), washing and polishing enzyme (cellulose), proteases (for silk treatment), those mainly used in the water washing industry are amylases and cellulases.

Textile enzyme, as the application name of the enzyme preparation industry in the textile field, belongs to the category of industrial grade enzyme preparations. Its distinctive features are large quantities, kind of a bulk commodity, and the products are mostly crude enzyme products. Purity requirementsare lessstrict as food grade products or designated enzyme preparation.

As the international textile industry transferred and concentrated to Southeast Asia, countries such as China and India are already the largest markets for textile enzyme preparation companies. The market for textile enzyme preparations is dominated by Danish companies, Novozymes and Danisco Genencor, accounting for more than 70% of the global market and over 50% of the Chinese market. The products they provideare mainly finished textile enzyme products, which are mainly distributed through agents, and meanwhile directly provided to end customers. In addition, AB Enzymes of German and Denykem of the UK mainly provide high concentrated enzyme preparation products, which are sold and developed by agents, and they are not intended for terminal printing-dyeing customers.

There are many domestic enzyme preparation enterprises, and the major representatives in the field of textile enzymes are Ningxia Xiasheng Industrial (Group) Co., Ltd., Qingdao Continent Animal Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and Hunan Youtell Biochemical Co., Ltd. There are also some international and domestic textile enzyme agents in the market, such as Singapore Yum!, Zhuhai Huada Company, Liansheng Chemistry Co. , Ltd., Argus Textile Chemicals Co., Ltd. and other printing and dyeing auxiliaries.
