Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and play a vital role in the human body. They are organic compounds involved in several chemicals and biological functions in the human body including the synthesis of hormones, the building of proteins, and others. Amino acids are essential for the proper growth and development of living beings.

Amino acids are categorized into essential, non-essential, and conditionally essential, based on different factors. They are widely used in various industries namely food & beverages, animal feed, dietary supplements, cosmetics, and others.

According to this analysis, the Global Amino Acids Market is expected to record a positive CAGR of ~7% during the forecast period (2022-2028) and is expected to reach nearly US$ 42 billion by 2028, owing to the growing demand for functional food products and immunity boosting products.

Adoption of a healthy lifestyle and increasing consumption of proteins are some of the factors driving the market growth.

The surge in demand for amino acids in various industries including food and beverages, dietary supplements, and others to fulfill the growing demand for amino acids-rich products that offer functional benefits, is anticipated to augment the growth of the market.

The increase in health-conscious consumers and rising awareness regarding the benefits of amino acids such as maintaining healthy skin, hair, and nails, boosting immunity, helping in the growth and repair of body tissue, and others are expected to boost the demand for amino acids.

The Global Amino Acids Market faces challenges due to stringent regulations laid by governmental bodies on products containing amino acids.

The government has imposed strict regulations on products containing amino acids that may hamper the growth of the Global Amino Acids Market. Additionally, the requirement of significant investment for the storage of amino acids and its products may slow down market growth.

The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the Amino Acids market initially due to the imposed lockdowns, the manufacturing process of amino acids and its product got disturbed which resulted in the disruption of the supply chain. However, due to the spread of the virus, consumers shifted towards the immunity-boosting product which increased the demand for amino acids in the food & beverages industry, nutraceutical industry, pharmaceutical industry, and others.
