Company patents

DANISCO US INC.

DANISCO US INC. exhibits a strong and growing focus on Fermentation & Biosynthesis, which constitutes 41.5% of its portfolio and saw significant growth of +72.7% in 2024 and +63.2% in 2025, despite a partial decline so far in 2026. Surprisingly, while Peptides & Proteins also shows consistent growth, the company's patenting in Foods & Beverages has been highly volatile, experiencing a sharp decline in 2024 and 2025 before a substantial +200.0% increase so far in 2026, indicating a shifting and unpredictable priority in this area.
