From Oil to Biofactories: The Silent Rise of a $150 Billion Green Manufacturing Superpower

The $150 Billion Biofactory Boom: How Industrial Biotech Is Poised to Take On Oil

What is industrial biotechnology—and why does it matter now? Industrial biotechnology (often called “white biotechnology”) uses living systems—microbes, enzymes, and cells—to make materials, chemicals, fuels, food ingredients, and other industrial products, often replacing fossil‑based or harsh chemical processes. Instead of cracking oil
