Segmentation by application and analysis of the methionine market

• Food and dietary supplements
• Animal feed
• Pharmaceuticals

The increasing demand for poultry and livestock is driving the adoption of methionine in animal feed. The body of an animal does not produce methionine and obtains essential amino acids through their food. This drives the need for methionine in animal feed because it is essential for healthy and productive poultry and livestock. It also provides the building blocks for immune cells and tissues. The animal feed segment will continue to grow for the next four years due to the increasing population and rising consumption of meat and the development of science and technology related to animal feed.

Segmentation by geography and analysis of the methionine market

• APAC
• Europe
• North America
• ROW

In terms of geography, APAC is a producer and consumer of methionine due to the widespread production of cattle in most of the countries in the region. The adoption of methionine is high in the region because the government is focusing on ensuring the food security for the rising population by providing support for animal husbandry. The market will continue to grow in the region throughout the estimated period due to the rising emphasis on biotechnological innovations in animal productivity.
