Global Amino Acids Market Insights

Amino Acids Market size was valued at USD 26.39 billion in 2021 and is poised to grow from USD 28.32 billion in 2022 to USD 53.39 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 7.3% in the forecast period (2023-2030).

Amino acids are organic compounds that contain nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and a variable side chain group. They are employed in the production of hormones and neurotransmitters. Amino acids can be produced through protein hydrolysis, chemical synthesis, or microbiological (biotechnological) methods. It is used as a supplement to boost athletic performance or mood, prevent muscle loss, and stimulate natural weight loss. Threonine is a dietary amino acid that aids in the formation of collagen and elastic muscle tissue in the heart, as well as the production of digestive enzymes. Amino acids are employed in a variety of applications, such as flavor development, preservation, nutritional component/protein building block, and speciality compounds such as aspartame, which are projected to drive industry growth.

The amino acids market is expected to be driven by rising demand for amino acids from the food, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical industries. Because of its capacity to alleviate muscle aches, sprains, and mental weariness, the substance is commonly utilized in dietary supplements.

US Amino Acids Market is poised to grow at a sustainable CAGR for the next forecast year.

Global Amino Acids Market Segmental Analysis

The global Amino Acids market is segmented based on type, application and region. Based on type, the amino acids market is segmented into L-Arginine, Cysteine, Glutamine, Histidine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Threonine, Tryptophan, Valine, Others. Based on application, the amino acids market is segmented into dietary nutrition, functional nutrients, sports nutrition, infant nutrition, others. Based on region, the Amino Acids market is categorized into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and MEA.

Amino Acids Market Analysis by type

In terms of types of amino acids, Glutamine accounted for a majority of market revenue and volume share in the year 2021 and is projected to maintain its dominance over the forecast period. The stomach and gastrointestinal system are protected by glutamine. Glutamate is needed to provide energy for the gastrointestinal tract. To protect the liver, glutamine enhances alcohol metabolization hence, the demand for Glutamine is more.

Despite Glutamine holding the majority share, the most popular amino acid in the human nutrition category is BCCA, consisting of three amino acids (valine, leucine, and isoleucine). BCAAs are plentiful in muscle proteins, stimulate muscle growth in the body and provide energy during exercise. A cumulative share of BCCAs accounts for nearly 21% market share and is projected to show a similar trend over the forecast period.

Global Amino Acids Market Dynamics

Amino Acids Market Driver

  • Amino Acids's numerous advantages are boosting market growth

Given the health advantages provided by amino acids, it is anticipated that demand for amino acids will increase for a variety of nutraceuticals and dietary supplements during the course of the review period. Amino acids are therefore anticipated to have a wide range of applications, including preservation and as a nutrient and protein building block.

  • Rising consumer awareness is expected to boost the amino acid market

Consumers' awareness of their health has grown, as has the need for nutritious food. This has compelled food and beverage manufacturers to create items fortified with essential nutrients, such as amino acids, which has increased customer demand for amino acids. Protein-rich diets are especially appealing to bodybuilders and athletes who want to increase their performance and gain muscle. Sports supplements include energy drinks, nutrition bars, low-carb diets, and nutritional supplements, which increase the amino acid market share.

Amino Acids Market Opportunity

  • Online Supplement Sales Surge

The rise in e-commerce sales has been one of the most significant changes in the supplement industry since the Covid-19 pandemic. E-commerce has been the fastest-growing channel in the supplement industry, giving local/regional players numerous opportunities to penetrate the market. For instance, the brick-and-mortar sales increased by 2.8% in 2019, e-commerce increased by 26.5% — nearly tenfold. Online supplement sales were expected to increase 61.4% by June 2020, compared to 9.0% for mass-market retail and 5.5% for natural and specialty retail. During the pandemic, consumers switched to online supplement purchasing, with online supplement sales expected to increase from USD 5 billion in 2019 to more than USD 10 billion in 2022 (reaching 19.6% of all supplement sales).
