Amino Acid Market Size is valued at USD 29.1 billion in 2023 and is predicted to reach USD 54.36 billion by the year 2031 at an 8.20% CAGR during the forecast period for 2024-2031.
During the forecast period, demand for amino acids is predicted to be driven by expanding consumer awareness of the need to lead a healthy lifestyle and increased consumption of meat and animal products. Proteins require amino acids, which are also responsible for the functioning of the human body. They argue for increasing metabolism, preventing muscle degradation, and lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease. Because of these qualities, they are widely used in the healthcare business for nutritional and therapeutic purposes. Because of their role in the human body, amino acids are sometimes called protein building blocks.
They are required for various critical processes like hormones, proteins, etc. Amino acids are organic molecules of nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and various side chains. For proper growth, the human body requires 20 distinct amino acids. Several factors influence whether amino acids are essential, conditionally essential, or non-essential. All nine necessary amino acids are found in a range of foods. Examples include meat, fish, and poultry goods such as dairy products and eggs like milk and paneer.
However, rigorous government regulations on products containing amino acids and high capital expenditure for storage are projected to limit the Amino Acids Market's growth. However, rising consumer awareness and increased purchasing power and spending due to rising disposable income will likely present profitable prospects for the Amino Acids Market.
The overall Amino Acids market is segmented into type, source, grade and end use. Based on type, the market is segmented into Essential and non-essential. Essential segment is sub segmented into histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, valine. Non-essential segment is sub segmented into alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, glutamine, glycine, cysteine, glutamic acid, proline, serine, tyrosine, ornithine, citrulline, creatine, selenocysteine, taurine, others. The market is segmented by source into plant-based, animal-based, chemical synthesis, fermentation. The market is segmented by grade into food grade, feed grade, pharma grade, other grade. The market is segmented by end-use into food & beverage, animal feed, pet food, pharmaceuticals, vaccine formulation, personal care & cosmetics, dietary supplements, agriculture, other end-uses. Food and beverages category is sub segmented into bakery, dairy, confectionery, convenience foods, functional beverages, meat processing, infant formulation, others. Animal Feed segment is sub segmented into swine, poultry, cattle, others.Based On Application, The Isoleucine Segment Is A Major Contributor To The Amino Acid Market
Health and nutrition meals and supplements are becoming increasingly popular. Furthermore, rising pharmaceutical investment, food technology innovation, and a growing inclination for a healthy diet will likely fuel demand for amino acids and promote market revenue growth. As an amino acid or "building block of life," Isoleucine is essential for protein creation, food digestion, energy production, development, and healing. As a branched-chain amino acid, Isoleucine is also involved in whole-body biological processes such as growth, immunity, cell metabolism, fatty acid metabolism, and glucose transport. Isoleucine strengthens the immune system, including immunological organs, cells, and reactive molecules.
The Asia Pacific Amino Acid market is expected to record the highest market share in revenue shortly. Increasing health concerns and growing individual medical expenditure are predicted to drive demand for nutritional supplements in China, which will drive demand for amino acids. The trend towards ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages is expected to influence aspartame demand positively, hence boosting the intake of amino acids in the form of aspartic acids in the vicinity over the projection period. They are primarily used to manage liver and cardiovascular illnesses and reduce muscle deterioration and fatigue. The countries above are expanding due to aging populations, developing economies, and high market demand.
