For instance, in July 2022, Evonik Industries announced the launch of its latest non-animal-derived collagen named ‘Vecollan,’ a highly pure and soluble collagen produced through fermentation. The fermentation-based production process offers a triple-helix structure that mimics the properties of natural collagen and makes it suitable for use in medical, pharmaceutical, and other life science applications.

Moreover, the rising absence of various types of feedstock, such as corn, sugarcane, and soybean, among others, inadequate required quantities has shifted the focus of several industries towards fermentation chemicals. Apart from this, the increasing emphasis on using bio-based chemicals in place or petrochemicals and surging concerns regarding carbon discharge are pushing the industry players to opt for bio-based chemicals, thereby influencing the demand and penetration of the product across the globe. However, the process for obtaining the products like bioplastics, biofuels, polymers, and polylactic acid is very complex and includes various techniques that result in an overall cost increase of over 10%, hampering the market growth and demand.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the growth of the fermentation chemicals market. The emergence of the deadly virus has resulted in various stringent regulations, including lockdowns, trade barriers, and movements, due to which many manufacturing facilities were temporarily closed and high disruptions in the global supply chain to be seen. Moreover, the shortage of raw materials and the required workforce declined product production during the pandemic.
