Phenylalanine also referred to as (S)-2-amino-3-phenylpropanoic acid, is a type of amino acid that is naturally found in a number of foods such as peanuts, meat, breast milk of mammals, and others. It is an essential amino acid that is not made in the body and has to be consumed from external food sources.
NEWARK, DE / ACCESSWIRE / January 6, 2025 / The global phenylalanine market was valued at USD 742.9 million in 2023. Demand increased by 4.5% in 2024, with the market expected to reach USD 811.1 million by 2025. From 2025 to 2035, the market is projected to grow at a 4.7% CAGR, reaching an estimated USD 1,285.5 million by 2035.
Phenylalanine, an essential amino acid integral to protein synthesis and neurotransmitter regulation, has witnessed significant growth due to its expanding applications in mental health treatments, chronic disease therapies, and the food and beverage industry.
The phenylalanine industry is experiencing significant growth, driven by advancements in health and technology. Growing awareness of mental health and cognitive functions has boosted the demand for phenylalanine, a key precursor to the neurotransmitter dopamine, essential for cognitive tasks.
Consumers are increasingly seeking amino acid-based supplements to enhance mental activity and emotions naturally. Additionally, phenylalanine's therapeutic applications are expanding, particularly for chronic conditions like arthritis and skin disorders such as vitiligo. Its anti-inflammatory and melanin-stimulating properties make it a valuable component in treatments for these ailments.
Leading companies, such as Ajinomoto Co., Inc. and Kyowa Hakko Bio Co., Ltd., play a crucial role in producing high-quality amino acids for nutritional and medical uses. They ensure a steady supply of phenylalanine to meet the growing demand in these sectors.
What are the Leading Opportunities Creating Sales Prospects in the Global Phenylalanine Market?
Due to growing stressed lifestyle and decreasing emotional stability in individuals, there is a significant rise in the prevalence of mental disorders such as depression, anxiety, and others across the globe, resulting in bolstering the demand for associated therapeutics solutions.
For instance, according to a study by the World Health Organization, around 280 million people worldwide, or nearly 3.8% of the global population were reported to be suffering from depression in the year 2021, making it one of the most common mental illnesses in the world.
As phenylalanine plays a crucial role in increasing production of dopamine in the human body, chemical which assists in improving moods, it is increasingly being used in the treatment of these disorders. Hence, increasing burden of mental illnesses is anticipated to augment the sales of phenylalanine in the global market.
Which are Key Constraints Impeding the Demand for Phenylalanine in the Global Market?
Although there are several advantages associated with the use of phenylalanine, adverse effects related to this amino acid such as heartburn, constipation, dizziness, sedation, and trouble breathing among others are hindering the sales of phenylalanine in the market.
High cost, inclination towards natural additives, and complex production process of d-phenylalanine are hampering the growth in the d-phenylalanine segment.
"Advanced delivery systems like time-released capsules and liquid formulations are transforming the phenylalanine market, addressing consumer demand for convenience and effectiveness. Companies like Ajinomoto and Kyowa Hakko are setting new benchmarks in bioavailability and user experience, aligning with the growing trend toward personalized health solutions. This innovation is poised to drive significant growth in the dietary supplements industry.", - says Nandini Roy Choudhury, Client Partner at Future Market Insights
