The report offers a comprehensive analysis of key segments, trends, drivers, restraints, competitive landscape, and factors that are playing a substantial role in the market.

Global Alpha Galactosidase Market Definition

Alpha-galactosidases are the enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of terminal, are non-reducing α-D-galactose residues in α-D-galactosides, and many catabolic processes, including cleaving glycoproteins and glycolipids, and polysaccharides. These saccharides are majorly present in plants, particularly abundant in legumes and vegetables that make up important sources of food and feed. It is located on the long arm of the X chromosome and can convert human blood group B to blood group O. It is used for the prevention of flatulence and bloating owing to a variety of cereals, nuts, grains, and vegetables containing the sugars raffinose, stachyose, and verbascose. It predominantly hydrolyzes ceramide trihexoside, and it can catalyze the hydrolysis of melibiose into glucose and galactose.

Alpha-galactosidase is a digestive enzyme that ruptures the carbohydrates in beans into simpler sugars molecules to make them easier to digest. The most frequently known alpha-galactosidase supplement is referred by the trade name Beano. Beano has been evaluated as safe for use in a healthy adult and elderly population. Beano is not recommended for use in children or infants, nor has it been evaluated for use in pregnant women. These are extensively used in hospital pharmacies, retail pharmacies, and online pharmacies to cure patients.

Global Alpha Galactosidase Market Overview

The prevalence of flatulence and bloating varies with sex and age. Unhealthy eating habits among the young and working population have led to significantly increased odds of bloating alone and separately for distention. Alpha Galactosidase is a topic of interest for clinical research for Fabry disease pharmacological chaperone therapy which is currently under clinical trials. Earlier, it was reported that the structure of human α-GAL, revealed the overall structure of the enzyme and established the locations of hundreds of mutations that lead to the development of Fabry disease.

Fabry disease affects a projected 1 in 40,000 to 60,000 males. This disorder also occurs in females, but the prevalence is unknown. However, it is observed to be accelerated owing to the increasing cases of Fabry disease, which may upsurge the research pace. There are certain restraints and challenges faced which will hinder the overall market growth. The factors such as lack of skilled workforce, medical professionals are limiting the market growth. Also, the lack of medical infrastructure can sluggish growth during the forecast period. Nevertheless, the advancements in technologies and untapped potential in emerging markets offer favorable growth opportunities.
