Amino Acids Market Size, Growth and Analysis Report 2022

Amino Acids Market Size, Growth and Analysis 

Report 2022: Radiant Insights, Inc 

Amino acids market size is anticipated to be valued at USD 35.4 billion by 2022, as per a 

new research report by Radiant Insights, Inc. Increase in animal feed additive demand 

owing to regulate metabolism in livestock production owing to growing meat consumption 

is expected to drive the market. Shift in trend towards dietary supplements consumption 

for protein intake coupled with rising health consciousness among consumers is likely to 

surge amino acids demand. 

Growing artificial sweeteners demand from food & beverages industry owing to low calorie 

content in the form of aspartame derived from l-aspartic & phenylaniline acid may drive 

the market. Increasing application scope in pharmaceuticals as buffering agents is expected 

to have a positive influence on demand. Tight supply of raw materials such as corn, 

soybean and wheat is expected to challenge industry growth. 

L-glutamic acid was the leading product segment with a market share of over 40% in 2014. 

The l-glutamic acid market revenue exceeded USD 8.5 billion in 2014, owing to flavor 

enhancing and pH regulation properties in food & beverages. Tryptophan is expected to 

witness significant growth rates with an estimated CAGR of 18.0% up to 2022.

Key report insights suggest: 

• Global amino acids was estimated at 6.58 million tons in 2014 and is expected to register 

10.1 million tons by 2022 growing with an estimated CAGR of 5.6% from 2015 to 2022. 

• Asia Pacific dominated the regional demand with an estimated market share of 49.4% in 

2014. Increasing meat consumption coupled with growing per-capita disposable income in 

countries such as India and China are expected to have positive influence in regional 

demand. Europe is expected to witness below average growth rates of 4.4% from 2015 to 

2022. 

• Animal feed application dominated the demand with an estimated market share of 52.5% 

in 2014. Lysine, methionine, threonine and tryptophan are majorly used as ingredients in

animal feed additives for livestock production. Food & dietary supplements are likely to 

grow at a CAGR of 4.7% up to 2022. 

• Plant source dominated the raw material segment and accounted for 86.0% of the 

demand in 2014. Animal based raw materials such as fish silage is expected to witness 

below average growth rates of 4.0% up to 2022 owing to ban on meat & bone meal in 

European regions. 

• Moderately consolidated amino acids industry consists of MNCs and local manufactures 

present are different levels in value chain. Key companies include Ajinomoto, Novus, 

Prinova, DSM, Cargill and Evonik. Some of the fully integrated companies such as DSM and 

Kemin Europa utilizes plant based raw material such as soymeal.
