This report can be delivered to the clients within Immediate
Glutamic Acid Market Growth & Trends
The global glutamic acid market size is expected treach USD 20.46 billion by 2030, according ta new report by Grand View Research, Inc. It is expected tgrow at a CAGR of 8.6% from 2025 t2030. Glutamic acid is widely used in dietary supplements owing tits ability tbuild protein building blocks and help tdetoxify the body. The market is projected twitness significant growth over the forecast period owing tthe increasing global demand for animal feed, coupled with the surging use of food additives and food enhancers in the industry.
The prices of glutamic acid vary as per grade. Strong demand for the product in the animal feed and food and beverage industries has increased the price of glutamic acid. Moreover, disturbance caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in the raw material supply chain is another factor behind the increasing prices of glutamic acid. In the year 2019, Evonik Industries AG has increased the prices of its glutamic acid products at the global level by 15% due tthe escalating cost of required raw materials.
Manufacturers compete based on distribution channels and strive texpand their market reach tincrease their market share and bolster the annual revenue. The companies alscompete on the basis of profit margins due ttheir high dependence on the distribution network for sales, thus leading thigh entry barriers for the market. Glutamic acid manufacturers focus on improving their products and enhancing their manufacturing capabilities tdistinguish their products from the products of other manufacturers in the industry and enhance their market share.
In 2020, Asia Pacific accounted for the largest revenue share of over 50.0%. The market growth is credited tthe increasing purchasing power of the consumers, the growing adoption of a healthy lifestyle, and the expansion of the end-use industries, such as animal feed, pharmaceutical, cosmetics and personal care, and food and beverage. The demand for animal feed in countries such as India and China is projected tgrow due tthe presence of an abundant livestock population.
