 Restraints/ Challenges

• High production costs

Biocatalysts, especially specialized enzymes, can be expensive to produce at a large scale. The costs associated with upstream processes, such as fermentation or recombinant DNA technology, as well as downstream purification and formulation, can significantly impact the overall production costs. High production costs can limit the widespread adoption of biocatalysts, especially in price-sensitive industries.

• Limited stability and specificity

Some biocatalysts exhibit limited stability and specificity under certain conditions, making their application challenging in certain industrial processes. Factors such as temperature, pH, and the presence of inh​​​​​​​ibitors can affect the performance and efficiency of biocatalysts. The need for optimized process conditions and the potential for enzyme deactivation or degradation can pose challenges and restrict their use in some applications.

• Limited availability of commercial biocatalysts

While there is a wide range of biocatalysts available in research and development settings, the availability of commercialized biocatalysts for specific applications may be limited. Developing and scaling up biocatalysts for industrial use requires substantial investments and time, resulting in a slower pace of commercialization. The limited availability of commercial biocatalysts can restrict their adoption in various industries.

• Lack of awareness and technical expertise

The adoption of biocatalysts requires technical expertise and understanding of their potential benefits and applications. The lack of awareness among end-users, such as manufacturers and process engineers, about the capabilities and advantages of biocatalysts can be a barrier to their widespread implementation. Education and training programs to enhance knowledge and technical skills can help overcome this restraint.
