A protease (also called a peptidase or proteinase) is an enzyme that performs proteolysis: protein catabolism by hydrolysis of peptide bonds. Proteases have evolved multiple times, and different classes of protease can perform the same reaction by completely different catalytic mechanisms. Proteases can be found in Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Bacteria, Archaea and viruses.
Microbial protease owing to significant demand from the industry accounted for substantial share in terms of revenue in the global protease market. In dairy industry, rennin is the major protease in demand and it has application in cheese making process. Detergents and soaps industry is a major source for growth of global protease market due to increasing demand from both domestic and industrial applications. As an enzyme additive in feed, protease is expected to experience rapid growth in demand from livestock industry. The innovations in protein engineering technology and government policies are expected to drive the global protease market over the forecast period.

The global Protease market was valued at 1700 million US$ in 2018 and will reach 2630 million US$ by the end of 2025, growing at a CAGR of 5.6% during 2019-2025.
