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.

Asia-Pacific 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 are using forward and backward integration techniques to ensure high quality and reliable supply of raw materials. Such vertical integration processes provide 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.

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 amino acids and their varying requirements has led to the production of products with 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.

Opportunities

• 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 an excellent opportunity for the growth of the global amino acids market. The demand for amino acids is increasing in various industries including food & beverages, cosmetics, dietary supplements, pharmaceuticals, and others owing to its various health benefits such as boosting the immune system, building muscle, helping in the repair of body tissue, maintaining healthy skin, nails, and hairs, and other benefits.

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 the step 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 massive opportunity for amino acids in the market globally.

Restraint/Challenge

• High competition among the market players

The high competition among the already existing market players poses a significant challenge for the new players who wish to enter the market as several players are offering high-quality amino acids products for different end-users including food & beverages manufacturers, the pharmaceutical industry, dietary supplements manufacturers, and others.. Moreover, some local players and small-scale manufacturers offer low-quality products or counterfeit products at cheaper prices, which are affecting the global amino acids market. In addition, an increase in the number of manufacturers offering a wide range of amino acids for different applications will cause tough competition for the other players in the market.

An increase in the number of players offering high-quality amino acids for different applications is creating a major challenge in the global amino acids market.

Post-COVID-19 Impact on Asia-Pacific 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. They are more inclined toward the most beneficial food products, such as plant-based, vegan, and nutritional food and beverages, as they are fortified with amino acids.
