Methionine Market: Overview

Methionine is an amino acid that contains sulfur. It is used as a precursor in the production of other proteins and is one of the essential amino acids for normal growth and development in humans, avian species, and other mammals. There are three types of methionine: L-Methionine, MHA, and DL-Methionine. DL-Methionine is generally produced by chemical synthesis from acrolein, methyl mercaptan, and hydrogen cyanide. Additionally, the various grades of methionine are feed grade, pharmaceutical grade, etc.

Methionine market is anticipated to grow at a fast pace in the upcoming years, owing to the global increase in meat consumption. The rising population in developing countries, such as India, China, and Brazil, is expected to boost the usage of methionine in poultry products, which, in turn, will propel the methionine market expansion on a global level. Moreover, methionine has steadily replaced the fish powder, as it is more efficient than fish powder. In addition, growing application of methionine in the supplement for ruminants and piglets, especially in China, is further projected to fuel the methionine market growth in the next few years. However, the harmful effects of raw materials used in the methionine production might hamper the methionine market. Surging demand for bio-based materials due to their sustainability and environment-friendliness over synthetic materials is also estimated to fuel the demand for bio-methionine, thereby boosting the expansion of this market.
