Abstract
Exogenous phytase is the most common enzyme in the feeding of non-ruminants. The world's first commercial phytase, Natuphos, capable of breaking down phytate, was introduced in the Netherlands in 1991. Today, the global phytase market is valued at around 450 million US dollars. By 2025, it could reach 600 million US dollars.
