L-citrulline is a form of a naturally occurring compound of amino acids, which is naturally produced by the human body and present in some of the ingredients of the food too. The bodies utilize L-citrulline and convert it into L-arginine and nitric oxide for their use. These products are utilized to advance the athletic performance of individuals and numerous other functions of the body. The increasingly dynamic lifestyles of consumers linked to the rise in levels of disposable income have significantly impacted the growth of the L-citrulline market. Following this, the growing incidence of diseases like dementia, Alzheimer's, sickle cell syndrome, erectile dysfunction, and others has ensnared the attention of drug producers in the healthcare industry, which is also serving as a significant determinant supporting the growth of the L-citrulline market. Furthermore, l-citrulline is a plant and animal-derived organic compound that has attracted much attention across the globe owing to its incredible health advantages, which are also favorably influencing the development of the l-citrulline market. The most significant factor responsible for the expansion of the market is the elevated rates of adoption as a nutritional supplement of the product. However, the poor growth from the animal feed sector can serve as a major deterrent against the l-citrulline market growth rate within the forecast period, while the deep decline observed in livestock production could pose a threat to the growth of the l-citrulline market within the aforementioned forecast period.

 

The capsules segment held the highest share in 2023 and is estimated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on the form, the global L-citrulline market is divided into capsules, tablets, and powders. Among these, the capsules segment held the highest share in 2023 and is estimated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. Capsules are convenient and portable, so consumers can easily carry them around to take their supplements anywhere capsules go. With the increasing number of health-conscious individuals who look for effective dietary supplements, the demand for easy-to-use and convenient forms of supplements like capsules also grows. Capsules cover up the unpleasant taste of L-citrulline, which may be bitter in its raw or powdered state. This makes capsules a more acceptable choice for consumers who are sensitive to taste.

 

The online segment held the largest share in 2023 and is estimated to grow at a significant CAGR during the projected period.

Based on the distribution channel, the global L-citrulline market is divided into supermarkets & hypermarkets, pharmacy & drug stores, online. Among these, the online segment held the largest share in 2023 and is estimated to grow at a significant CAGR during the projected period. These remain open all the time, so consumers can buy L-citrulline anytime, which is particularly desirable for those who lead hectic lifestyles. These have access to consumers located in rural or underserved communities where local stores do not exist. Numerous online stores sell their products regularly at discounts, have promotional services, and also subscription plans that cut the consumers' total expenses.

 

Asia Pacific is anticipated to hold the largest share of the global L-citrulline market over the projected period.

Asia Pacific is anticipated to hold the largest share of the global L-citrulline market over the projected period. China and India, specifically, are major drivers of demand for nutritional supplements because the Asia Pacific region has large populations and growing middle classes. Consumers in these nations are becoming increasingly health-oriented and are looking for products that can improve physical performance, cardiovascular health, and recovery from physical activity.

 

Europe is estimated to grow at the fastest CAGR of the global L-citrulline market during the forecast period. This growth path is driven by various factors, among them continuous product innovations that meet the growing consumer need for well-being and health solutions. Increasingly, European consumers are giving more importance to products that ensure overall well-being, and as a result, there has been growing interest in dietary supplements that include non-essential amino acids like L-Citrulline.
