The glutamic acid market refers to the industry that encompasses the production, sale, and distribution of glutamic acid, which is an amino acid used across food, animal feed, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetic industries. Glutamic acid is an alpha amino acid, used by almost all living beings in protein biosynthesis and is also the most abundant excitatory neurotransmitter in the vertebrate nervous system. Consumers' growing health consciousness is driving the use of glutamic acid in nutritional supplements and protein powders in the food & beverage industry. An increasing demand for food enhancers, food additives, and animal feed in the food & beverage industry is driving the glutamic acid market. On the contrary, the volatility in raw material prices and health concerns associated with excessive intake of glutamic acid are hampering the market growth.
The L-glutamic acid segment dominated the market with the largest revenue share in 2024 and is projected to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period.
Based on the type, the glutamic acid market is divided into L-glutamic acid and DL-glutamic acid. Among these, the L-glutamic acid segment dominated the market with the largest revenue share in 2024 and is projected to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period. L-glutamic acid is an optically active form of glutamic acid with L-configuration, playing an essential role in nutraceuticals, a micronutrient, an Escherichia coli metabolite, a mouse metabolite, a ferroptosis inducer and a neurotransmitter. The food & beverage industry and the pharmaceutical industry are driving the demand for L-glutamic acid, thereby propelling the market.
The flavour enhancer segment accounted for the largest market share in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a remarkable CAGR during the forecast period.
Based on the application, the glutamic acid market is divided into flavour enhancer, nutritional supplement, pharmaceutical ingredient, and animal feed additive.
