Amino Acids's numerous advantages are boosting market growth

Plant-based raw materials such as soybean, wheat, and corn are gaining popularity due to better amino acid concentration and availability. Key market participants are implementing forward and backward integration techniques to ensure a steady supply of raw materials for production. Such vertical integration processes increase the certainty of raw material supply and provide chances for the development of new and creative products from existing raw materials.

In terms of revenue share, Asia Pacific dominated the market in 2021. Market expansion in China is anticipated to be fueled by rising pork consumption. The demand for dietary supplements in China is anticipated to increase as a result of growing health concerns and rising personal medical costs, which will also boost demand for amino acids. Over the forecast period, it is anticipated that the shift in consumer preference for ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages will have a positive impact on aspartame demand, increasing regional aspartic acid consumption of amino acids.
