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 such as synthesizing 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 abundant in red meat, seafood, eggs, dairy products, and soy products.

MIDDLE EAST AND AFRICA Amino Acids Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Strong supply chain

As the availability of quality raw materials is vital for the manufacturing of amino acids. To ensure a continuous supply of raw materials, prominent market participants use forward and backward integration techniques to ensure high-quality and reliable raw materials. Such vertical integration processes provide greater reliability of raw material supply and chances for developing new and creative products from current raw materials. Therefore, a robust supply chain is established for the feasible production of amino acids.

Quality checks are also done at every stage of the supply chain. Sustainability is also the Middle East and Africa to ensure the excellent quality of amino acids and comply with the regulations implied by governing bodies. 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.

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 timely availability.

• 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 amino acids and their varying requirements has led to producing products with various amino acids.

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

Opportunity

• Increase in the 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 an excellent 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 company takes action, takes the effort, takes the stage to maximize economies of scale, and utilizes 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 massive opportunity for amino acids in the market globally.

Restraint/Challenge

• Strict government regulations

Regulations are applied to manufacturing amino acids and products containing amino acids to maintain the products' quality and purity. The rules are also applied to the daily consumption of amino acids to avoid their side effects. Additionally, laws are put on amino acid use in foods and dietary supplements to ensure the proper 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 Middle East and Africa 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 more extended 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 need 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 acid products.

Recent Development

• In January 2020, Kemin Industries launched a new product range named KESSENT, a rumen-protected Methionine. Methionine is a vital amino acid in the ruminant diet for precise feeding. It is used along with lysine. The new range is introduced in the EMENA region
