Feed Amino Acids Market Dynamics, Emerging Trends, Growth Factors and Sales Forecast to 2022

on

Cereals are major part of livestock feed and are primary sources of feed energy and balancing the energy to protein ratio is a basic principle of feed formulation. There are large differences between feed ingredients in protein and feed amino acids. Cereal grains are low in concentration and oilseed meals are rich in protein and amino acids among feed ingredients of plant origin. On the basis of type, the global feed amino acids market is segmented into tryptophan, lysine, poultry, aquatics and equine. Lysine is a faster growing segment owing to rapid expansion of companies.
Pulse crops such as beans and peas and many of the co-products from the grain processing industries have a medium concentration of protein which is less than oilseed meals but greater than the cereal grains. On contrary, in some animals, protein such as fish meal, blood meal, meat meals and some of the milk products contain more protein and amino acids than most ingredients of plant origin.


Feed amino acids can be divided into indispensable and dispensable amino acids. Dispensable amino acids can be synthesized by animals which may not be particularly included in the diet and on contrary indispensable amino acids cannot be synthesized by animal and diets need not contain these amino acids. Most of the indispensable amino acids include arginine, histidine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan and valine.
For poultry, glycine is considered an indispensable amino acid owing to its essential need during protein synthesis. Also it is needed during synthesis of uric acid. In diet formulations, it is mandate to ensure adequate amounts of all indispensable amino acids and are included to enable the animal to maximize protein synthesis. Several feed ingredients of plant origin are commonly used in diet formulations which are low in lysine, threonine, tryptophan and methionine and are relative to requirements by pigs and poultry. These amino acids are often called the first limiting amino acids.
On the other hand, corn and soybean is completely required as a protein in the diet as these elements are in complementary proportion of methionine. Commercially, feed amino acids being the building blocks of protein in the body help to enhance the productivity of animals. Manufacturers are now adopting newer technologies used to manufacture feed amino acids. Such benefits of feed supplements have led to development of livestock industry and substantially to the meat processing industry. Therefore, the global feed amino acids are expected to witness a substantial CAGR growth during the forecast period.
The key driving factors responsible for the growth of Feed Amino Acids Market includes growing demand for nutritional supplement for animals and livestock. Additionally, the feed amino acids help in minimizing the cost of feed by increasing the productivity of animals. Moreover, increasing prices of feed and growing concerns with regards to the environment owing to nitrogen excretion by livestock animals. However, the major restraining factor in the growth of feed amino acids market is development of alternative source of proteins for animals.
On the basis of livestock type, the global feed amino acids market is segmented into swine, ruminants, poultry, aquatics and equine. On the basis of geographic segmentation, the global feed amino acids market spans North America, Latin America, Europe, Middle-East and Africa. North America dominates the global market owing to rearing of livestock on a large scale. Europe and APAC regions are anticipated to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period.
Middle-Eastern and African regions are expected to dominate the global market owing to technological developments and other advances in the livestock industry. The key players in the global feed amino acids market include Ajinomoto, Cheil Jadang, Cargill Inc, Biaffin, AnaSpec, Chem Pep Inc, IRIS Biotech, PepTech Corporation, Synthetech, and Kemin Industries.
