Glycinates Market Report 2026

The glycinates market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.36 billion in 2025 to $1.46 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of dietary supplement consumption, increasing awareness of mineral deficiencies, rising use of chelated minerals in feed, expansion of functional food products, availability of advanced chelation technologies.

The glycinates market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.99 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for preventive healthcare nutrition, rising adoption of fortified food and beverages, expansion of animal feed supplementation, growing focus on bioavailable mineral delivery, increasing investments in nutraceutical innovation. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand for high-bioavailability mineral supplements, increasing use in nutraceutical formulations, growing adoption in animal nutrition, expansion of chelated mineral applications, enhanced focus on functional nutrition products.

Rising meat consumption is expected to drive the growth of the glycinates market in the coming years. Meat consumption refers to the intake and use of animal flesh, typically from livestock such as cattle, poultry, pigs, and other mammals, as part of the diet. Glycinates are utilized in the meat industry for applications such as preservation, flavor enhancement, meat tenderizing, and texture improvement. For example, in July 2025, the UK’s Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) reported that total UK meat production reached 4.16 million tonnes in 2024, up from 4.05 million tonnes in 2023. Consequently, the growing consumption of meat is supporting the expansion of the glycinates market.

Major players in the glycinates market are pursuing strategic partnerships to advance amino acid production methods. These collaborations allow companies to leverage each other's strengths and resources for mutual benefit and success. For example, in June 2023, Ajinomoto Co., Inc., a biotechnology company based in Japan, teamed up with Logomix Inc., a genome engineering firm from the U.S., to create a sustainable amino acid production method. This partnership aims to innovate the biocycle of amino acid production and develop environmentally friendly amino acids through sustainable practices that reduce ecological impact.

In November 2025, Biochem, an India-based specialty chemicals company, acquired BASF’s glycine and glycinate business for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Biochem seeks to expand its global amino acids and specialty ingredients portfolio, strengthen its presence in the nutraceutical and feed additive markets, and enhance production capabilities and supply chain integration. BASF SE, based in Germany, is a chemical company that offers glycinates.
