Middle East and Africa Amino Acid in Dietary Supplements Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints, and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail below:

Driver

• Increasing demand for amino acid-based dietary supplements due to the health and nutritional benefits

Consumers' rising demand for amino acid-based dietary supplements due to their health and nutritional benefits is expected to drive the Middle East and Africa market of amino acids in dietary supplements. This demand is due to the health benefits associated with various amino acids. The rising health consciousness of consumers has raised the demand for healthier food products and supplements. This has encouraged food and beverage manufacturers to launch products infused with essential nutrients such as amino acids. In addition, protein-deficit people, such as older people and weak individuals in terms of body weight, can gain protein by taking amino acid-rich dietary supplements. Amino acid-rich food & dietary supplements are advised for various health conditions, including attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), smoking cessation, bruxism, and sleep aid.

Furthermore, bodybuilders and athletes turn to protein-rich foods to improve their performance and muscle building. Some amino acid-based products, such as energy drinks, nutrition bars, reduced carbohydrate meals, and nutrition supplements, are sports supplements. Several amino acids are employed for muscle development and bodybuilding supplements. It is necessary to consume protein and amino acids to grow muscle. Furthermore, amino acid has various health benefits besides the human body's protein development.

For instance,

• In August 2022, according to the scientific article published in NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information), the body's ability to build muscle protein is directly influenced by the essential amino acid (EAAs), which the body cannot produce on its own and must obtain from food. Recent scientific experiments that looked at how essential amino acid (EAA) supplements affected muscle mass and strength have revealed positive health results          

Therefore, the health benefits provided by dietary supplements based on amino acid formulas are expected to create more demand among the consumer base and generate a larger consumer base. This increasing demand due to the consumer health benefits of measured amino acid consumption in dietary supplements is expected to drive the market in the forecast period.

Opportunity

• Rising awareness among consumers toward the consumption of amino acid-based dietary supplements

As health factors and concerns are growing among the consumer and manufacturers of the food industry, the market has seen a shift toward sales growth. This awareness has led many consumers to make lifestyle changes such as a healthy, protein-rich diet and increased amino acid-based dietary supplement consumption. Moreover, this awareness has opened up many new opportunities for the Middle East and Africa amino acid in the dietary supplements market, as amino acid-based dietary supplements have health benefits when consumed. Dietary supplements containing amino acids are food components with good value that can provide muscle strength and other nutritional benefits such as proteins. In addition, amino acids have many classifications and categories, such as essential amino acids, which the human body needs to get from an external source since it cannot synthesize them independently. Amino acid-based dietary supplements have proven to be healthy and beneficial. In addition, the increasing awareness among consumers regarding the health-beneficial food components such as dietary and health supplements based on amino acids and other vital nutrients is expected to boost the market.

For instance,

• In February 2022, BW BUSINESSWORLD reported that Indian consumers are more willing to spend money on health supplements, healthy products, and fitness classes and activities

Thus the health benefits of different amino acid-based dietary supplement types, and their increasing promotion via various health and medical contents and their manufacturers boost consumer preference. This preference creates an opportunity for the Middle East and Africa amino acid in the dietary supplements market in the forecast period.

Restraint/Challenge

• Stringent government regulations

Regulations are applied to manufacturing amino acids and products containing amino acids, such as dietary supplements based on the amino acid. The regulations are also applied to the daily consumption of amino acids to avoid their side effects. Additionally, regulations are also put on amino acid use in foods and dietary supplements to ensure the right consumption of amino acids.

For instance,

• The Journal of Nutrition, Volume 150, Issue Supplement_1, October 2020, International Regulations on Amino Acid Use in Foods and Supplements and Recommendations to Control Their Safety Based on Purity and Quality. International regulatory trends concerning the use of protein-genic amino acids in human nutrition were reviewed, and it was determined that existing risk-assessment techniques tend to focus solely on setting maximum daily limits

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.

Recent Developments

• In October 2021, Arla Foods Ingredients launched new dietary supplements extending the protein category line. They promoted the product as a pure BLG ingredient with a distinctive nutritional profile: Lacprodan BLG-100. It is made using a patented new separation technique and has 45% more leucine than commercially available whey protein isolates, the main amino acid for building muscle. Through this product launch and promotion, consumers learn about the efficiency of muscle building of the product. This attracted a larger consumer base while making them aware of the benefits
• In October 2020, Evonik Industries AG announced it would cluster its MetAMINO (DL-methionine) production at three international hubs (the Americas, Europe, and Asia) to maximize economies of scale and implement robust processes. The company is a leading producer of DL-methionine, an essential amino acid used in modern feed formulation. It can play a crucial part in addressing issues like a sustainable food safety supply
