Market Definition

Amino acids are molecules that combine to form proteins. Amino acids and proteins are the building blocks of life. Amino acids form a substantial part of both animal and human nutrition. In the human body, they are necessary for vital processes for instance the synthesis of neurotransmitters and hormones. They are advantageous for nourishing the immune system, fighting arthritis and cancer, and treating rectal diseases and tinnitus. Nowadays, the demand for amino acids is increasing as they assist in improving conditions such as depression, sleep disorders, premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), smoking cessation, bruxism and attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Amino acids are also found in abundance in red meat, seafood, eggs, dairy products, and soy products.

North America Amino Acids Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Strong supply chain

As the availability of quality raw materials is vital for the manufacturing of amino acids. So as to ensure a continuous supply of raw materials, prominent market participants are using forward and backward integration techniques targeted at ensuring high quality and reliable supply of raw materials. Such vertical integration processes provide greater reliability of raw material supply and chances for the development of new and creative products from current raw materials. Therefore, a strong supply chain is established for the feasible production of amino acids.

Also, the strong and fast direct and indirect distribution channels established by the manufacturers ensure the timely delivery of products leading to increased demand for amino acids. Therefore, the strong supply chain is boosting the demand for amino acids in the market as it ensures the timely availability of amino acids.

• Availability of different types of amino acids in the market

Amino acids can be placed in three groups, non-essential amino acids, essential amino acids, and conditional amino acids. These groups consist of different types of amino acids based on their requirements. As each essential amino acid has a distinct function in the organism, the symptoms of shortage vary correspondingly. Therefore, the availability of different types of amino acids and their varying requirements has led to the production of products having different amino acids.

Therefore, the demand for different types of amino acids has led to the production of different products with different compositions and benefits, eventually leading to the growth of the amino acids market.

Opportunity

• Increase in number of initiatives taken by amino acid manufacturers

An increase in the number of initiatives taken by the manufacturers for amino acids such as product launches, expansion, investments, and others will create a great opportunity for the growth of the global amino acids market.

For instance,

• In October 2020, Evonik announced to cluster its MetAMINO (DL-methionine) production at three international hubs (Americas, Europe, and Asia). The step is taken by the company to maximize economies of scale and utilize robust processes. The company aims to strengthen its position by improving its cost position

Thus, the increase in the number of amino acid launches, expansion, investment to increase the production, and other initiatives by manufacturers coupled with rising demand for amino acids in different industries, are expected to create a huge opportunity for amino acids in the market globally.

Restraint/Challenge

• Strict government regulations

Regulations are applied to the manufacturing of amino acids and products containing amino acids in order to maintain the quality and purity of the products. The regulations are also applied to the daily consumption of amino acids to avoid their side effects. Along with that regulations are also put on amino acid use in foods and dietary supplements in order to ensure the right consumption of amino acids.

Hence, the increasing regulation on the consumption of amino acids might hamper the market growth as these regulations limit the usage of amino acids in various products and supplements.

Post-COVID-19 Impact on North America Amino Acids Market

Post the pandemic, the demand for health supplements and healthy food products has increased as there won't be any restrictions on movement; hence, the supply of products would be easy. The persistence of COVID-19 for a longer period has affected the supply chain as it got disrupted, and it became difficult to supply the food products to the consumers, initially decreasing the demand for products. However, post COVID, the demand for health and wellness food products has increased significantly owing to increased awareness about the benefits of amino acids in healthy and nutritious food in the long term, increasing the demand for amino acids products. Consumers are trying to lead a healthy lifestyle and are more inclined toward the healthiest food products, such as plant-based, vegan, and nutritional food and beverages as they are fortified with amino acids.

Recent Developments

• In December 2021, Bayer introduces Ambition, the first amino acid biostimulant, to the Chinese market. The product investigates agricultural development potential, such that crops would grow energetically with great stress resistance toward high yield and high quality, benefiting farmers' harvesting, soil protection, and consumer safety. Ambition is appropriate for organic farming
• In October 2017, Daesang, a South Korean food manufacturing company, claimed that it has successfully created L-Histidine, a high value-added amino acid, for the first time in the nation. L-Histidine is abundant in red-flesh and exterior blue-colored fish. It is frequently utilized in pharmaceuticals, nutritional supplements, and animal feed
