The amino acids market is evaluated at US$15.743 billion for the year 2020, growing at a CAGR of 4.84% reaching a market size of US$21.917 billion by the year 2027.
Amino acids are organic compounds that are combined to form proteins. These are highly essential compounds that are common to all living things, from microbes to humans. There are wide applications of amino acids in the food industry, pharmaceuticals, and animal feed which is a major factor supplementing the market growth globally during the next five years. High applications of amino acids in dietary supplements due to their ability to treat muscle soreness and sprains and mental fatigue. Thus, a growing concern among the millennial population group in both developed and developing economies of the world has further augmented the demand for amino acids, thus playing a positive role in the market growth until the end of the forecast period. Moreover, an increase in the health-savvy population, particularly in the developed economies, has further increased the consumption of healthy and nutritious foods in their diets. This also plays a significant role in boosting the market growth during the next five years. Moreover, the constant participation by market players and numerous end-user companies in the launch of new amino acid products as well as new products in which the applications of amino acids are necessary further shows the growth potential of the market and the business growth opportunities over the next five years.
The outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease is anticipated to moderately impact the market growth to some extent, which is because there was a temporary suspension in manufacturing activities across several end-user industries. However, a significant increase in the consumption of healthy foods to boost the immune system is further expected to offset the impact in the coming time frame.
The market for amino acids is segmented based on source, applications, type, and geography. Based on the source, the classification of the market has been done into plants and animals. By application, the market has been segmented into food and beverages, dietary supplements, pharmaceuticals, and others. By type, the market has been divided into alanine, glutamine, aspartic acid, and others. Geographically, the market is segmented into North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and the Asia Pacific.
Plant-based amino acids will account for a sizable portion.
According to the source, plant-based amino acids are anticipated to hold a significant amount of market share throughout the next five years There are a wide variety of sources used for the extraction of amino acids, which include wheat, and soya. The significant share of this segment is majorly supported by the higher amino acid concentrations and availability. Moreover, the growth of this segment is primarily attributed to the growing awareness of consumers regarding the consumption of organic and naturally sourced products in both developed and developing nations of the world. Moreover, rising social awareness among people regarding the slaughter of animals also plays a vital role in bolstering the growth of the plant-based amino acids, market during the next five years.
Dietary supplements are expected to grow rapidly. By application, the dietary supplements segment of the amino acids market is anticipated to witness promising growth, especially during the short run due to increased consumption of nutritious supplements amid the pandemic to boost the immune system. However, on the other hand, the food and beverage industry is projected to hold a significant market share, which is attributable to the fact that there are wide applications of amino acids in a variety of food products as flavour enhancers, preservatives, and nutritional enhancers. Moreover, the use of amino acids in food and beverages is also regulated by the FDA, which also supplements the share of this segment in the coming five years. Other applications of amino acids include animal feed and cosmetics among others. Amino acids are widely used as feed additives to regulate metabolism in livestock and supplement the protein requirements of a variety of livestock.
APAC will have a sizable share. By geography, the Asia-Pacific region is anticipated to hold a significant market share, which can be majorly attributed to the presence of a considerably large population base. Moreover, the growing adoption of a healthy lifestyle coupled with the growing purchasing power of the population is one of the factors supporting the market growth in the Asia-Pacific region in the coming five years. Moreover, the growing consumption of animal feed in countries like China and India further supplements the consumption of amino acids in the region, thus also positively influencing the market growth.
In November 2021, Friesland Campina Ingredients, a leading functional ingredients and solutions provider, launched its first-ever plant-based proteins into the market - Plantaris Pea Isolate 85A and Plantaris Faba Isolate 90 A - in collaboration with AGT Foods, a leading supplier of the products like staple food, pulses, and other ingredients. Both the proteins are gluten-free and have high amino acids concentration, facilitating optimal stimulation of muscle protein synthesis.
In January 2022, Lycored, the world leader in R&D of lycopene and carotenoid supplement, launched a new processing site in New Jersey to enhance the processing of its amino acids, vitamins, carotenoids, minerals, and natural food ingredients. The new facility maximizes products' shelf-life, purity, and efficacy and increases output capacity.
