Global Food Amino Acids Market Research Report: Information by Product Type (Lysine, Glutamic Acid, Methionine, Tryptophan and others), Source (Animal, Plant and Synthetic), Application (Nutraceuticals & Dietary Supplements, Infant Formula, Food & Beverages Fortification, Convenience Foods and others) and Region (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Rest of the World) - Forecast till 2027

Market Scenario

Amino acids are organic compounds that aids in the expansion of protein chains in an organism. There are nine amino acids that are required by the human body to grow and function properly– histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine. Food amino acids are primarily used in dietary supplements and nutraceutical products. The use of synthetically sourced food amino acids is exceptionally high. However, the demand for plant-sourced food amino acids is increasing owing to the rising consumer inclination towards the naturally-derived ingredients and additives. The global food amino acids market size is estimated to reach USD 6.81 billion and record a CAGR of 7.50% by the end of 2024.

The global food amino acids market is anticipated to be driven by several factors. Food amino acids find its application in the dietary supplements products.
