White biotechnology, also known as industrial or environmental biotechnology, is a branch dedicated to industrial production, providing essential components to various industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture. It involves the environmentally friendly synthesis of biochemicals, biomaterials, and biofuels from renewable resources using live cells and their enzymes.
The primary product types in white biotechnology include biofuels, biomaterials, biochemicals, and industrial enzymes. Biofuels, such as biodiesel, biogas, and ethanol, represent renewable energy sources produced through living organisms. Biotechnology-enhanced biofuels are designed to function similarly to traditional gasoline, offering improved fuel efficiency and fewer blending issues than ethanol. White biotechnology finds applications in the production of bioenergy, food and feed additives, pharmaceutical ingredients, personal care products, household items, and more.

The white biotechnology market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $382.86 billion in 2023 to $423.09 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.5%. The growth in the historic period of white biotechnology can be attributed to factors such as cost competitiveness and economic viability, a reduced reliance on fossil fuels, increased consumer demand for sustainability, investments in research and development, and the promotion of circular economy initiatives.
The white biotechnology market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $626.09 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.3%.The growth in the forecast period for white biotechnology can be attributed to consumer preferences for sustainable products, a global shift towards renewable energy, increased investment and funding, and a focus on circular economy and waste reduction. Major trends in the forecast period include cost competitiveness, growing consumer awareness and preference, continuous product innovations, a shift towards circular economy practices, and efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The escalating global demand for biofuels is anticipated to drive the growth trajectory of the white biotechnology market. Biofuels, derived from organic sources like by-products and corn-based ethanol, are witnessing increased popularity. White biotechnology, utilizing living organisms or enzymes from renewable sources, is crucial for sustainably synthesizing biofuels. As reported by the International Energy Agency (IEA) in December 2022, biodiesel production is projected to reach 47.4 billion liters by 2022, up from 45.7 billion in 2021. Similarly, ethanol production has surged to 114 billion liters in 2022. This surge in biofuel demand is a pivotal factor propelling the white biotechnology market's expansion.
The surging preference for sustainable products is poised to be a significant driver for the white biotechnology market's growth. Sustainable products aim to minimize adverse environmental and societal impacts while utilizing resources efficiently. White biotechnology facilitates the development of eco-friendly products and processes by leveraging microorganisms, enzymes, and biocatalysts. A study conducted by Mastercard Inc. in April 2021 across 24 countries highlighted that 54% of adults emphasize reducing the carbon footprint, while 62% prefer environmentally conscious companies. This growing inclination towards sustainable solutions is a catalyst for the burgeoning white biotechnology market.
Technological advancements stand out as a prominent trend shaping the white biotechnology sector. Innovative platforms like co-polymer and precise platforms, rooted in biotechnological applications, are witnessing increased adoption. Major industry players are focused on leveraging these advancements to drive groundbreaking discoveries. For instance, in June 2023, International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. unveiled the Designed Enzymatic Biomaterials (DEB) technology. This innovative platform offers sustainable biopolymers, allowing producers to adapt to evolving market demands and regulatory shifts by substituting conventional synthetic polymers from fossil fuels. DEB technology enables the direct incorporation of petroleum-based polymer properties into biopolymer materials, tailoring polysaccharides for enhanced long-term performance in specific applications.
Leading corporations within the white biotechnology sector prioritize the development of pioneering technologies, specifically growth platforms, to deliver steadfast services to their clientele. A growth platform denotes a strategic initiative pursued by business entities to achieve sustained long-term growth. Typically, these platforms involve cross-functional collaboration across multiple business units or departments. As showcased in May 2022, Solvay SA, a Belgian chemical manufacturing company, introduced the Renewable Materials and Biotechnology platform. This initiative aims to facilitate research and development focused on generating novel bio-based products derived from renewable sources like plant-based materials and agricultural waste. These products are engineered to exhibit higher sustainability and reduced environmental impact compared to conventional alternatives. Solvay intends to leverage biotechnology for innovating new processes to manufacture chemicals and materials.
In a move during March 2022, Kerry Group PLC, an Irish publicly-traded food corporation, acquired 92% of c-Lecta GmbH's issued share capital for $134.8 million (€137M). This strategic acquisition is set to expedite Kerry's innovative capacities in enzyme engineering, fermentation, and bioprocess development. Moreover, the acquisition underscores Kerry's commitment to investing in pioneering sustainable technologies that will form the cornerstone of future sustainable food and health systems. c-Lecta GmbH, a German biotechnology company specialized in creating, producing, and distributing enzyme products, aligns well with Kerry's strategic goals, fostering advancements in sustainable solutions.
