The Feed Amino Acids Market is witnessing significant trends driven by innovation and demand.
Key players include Archer Daniels Midland Company, Sumitomo Corporation, Evonik Industries AG, CJ CheilJedang Corp., Ajinomoto Co., Inc., and others.
The feed amino acids market is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period due to the rising consumption of animal meat. Amino acids are the building blocks for proteins and substrates for synthesis of low molecular weight substances. Essential amino acids, such as lysine and tryptophan, participate in cell signaling, gene expression, and metabolic regulation in animals. Thus, amino acids in feed are considered to be more vital than just protein involvement in an animal diet.
Amino acid deficiency in animals can weaken their immune system. Feed formulated with amino acid help in reducing emission of nitrogen from animal manure, thereby, creating a healthy environment; thus, acting as a key market driver. The factors that affect the level of amino acid content in animal feed are animal species and breed, age, gender, physical activity, body protein formation level, and health status, among others. Other factors boosting the growth of feed amino acids industry include improved efficiency of nutrients, along with growth, development, reproduction, lactation, and well-being in animals. Due to such factors, poultry owners and cattle raisers are creating a huge demand for amino acids in animal feed.

Global Feed Amino Acids Market Share (%), by Region, 2021
Globally, Asia-Pacific dominates the market for feed amino acids owing to the continuous modernization of livestock production methods and the growing awareness of animal feed among consumers. High impact of feeding quality animal-based feed to the livestock has been boosting the demand for feed amino acids in this region.
Europe is generating a healthy revenue in the market. The European meat industry is infusing more amino acids in the animal feeds owing to the increasing consumption of quality meat by animals. North America is also growing in terms of meat demand in animal feed thereby contributing a decent share of revenue towards feed global amino acids market
Recent News
As of August 2023, Belarussian National Biotechnological Corporation (BNBC) has produced 500,000 tons of goods, including 50,000 tons of feed amino acids, since the project's inception. Despite the fact that Russia is BNBC's primary sales market, efforts are underway to diversify the supply. Registration requirements for Belarussian amino acids on the Brazilian market have been met. Belarus is gaining market share in Russia at an accelerating rate. According to the Russian think tank Feedlot, the nation currently provides 10% of the feed additives imported by Russia. At present, BNBC is contemplating the feasibility of augmenting its lysine monohydrochloride production capacity. Additionally, within the next three years, the establishment of a feed vitamin manufacturing facility is also on the agenda. Uritsky stated that the Russian National Biotechnology Corporation could be established, however, within the [Russia-Belarus] Union State in collaboration with China. He estimated the investment cost of the project to be between $1.2 and $1.5 billion, adding that the Russian cluster's factories could annually process one million tons of grain.
Farmers Business Network, Inc., the worldwide AgTech platform and farmer-to-farmer network, introduced Profectus™ Feeds in October 2023. This innovative method of supplying beef cattle has the potential to enhance beef production's profitability and sustainability. The system, which was developed by a team of nutrition specialists and veterinarians at FBN Livestock, balances the energy consumption and amino acid requirements of beef diets in a manner analogous to how the swine industry reduced cost of gain by increasing feed efficiency through diet formulation. Profectus Feeds have demonstrated a 5 to 15% improvement in feed-to-gain ratio and profitability when compared to conventional diet formulations in commercial studies and comparisons. Additionally, carcass value has been upheld or enhanced. Profectus Feeds acknowledges the absence of a protein requirement for cattle and formulates their diets in accordance with the amino acid requirement, which is calculated using the caloric density of the diet. This emphasis on the equilibrium of amino acids results in enhanced feed efficiency and, consequently, decreased cost of gain, fewer instances of digestive issues, and enhanced environmental sustainability.
