Glycine Market Dynamics and Trends

Increasing global meat consumption coupled with rising livestock production, increasing demand for personal care products such as cosmetics, and the growth of the global pharmaceutical industry coupled with the rising applications of glycine in the use of the pharma industry are the major factors propelling the growth of the global glycine market.

The growing market for global beef and veal production is a major factor boosting the global glycine market. Glycine provides essential protein, fiber, and energy to livestock in the form of animal feed additives, which results in increased yield and also helps save costs incurred on adding additional protein and supplement additives. According to the statistics published by the US Department of Agriculture, global beef and veal production increased from 59,710 tons in 2015 to 60,478 tons in 2016. This value increased to 61,624 tons in 2017 finally reaching 62,878 tons in 2018. Owing to these factors, the global glycine market is anticipated to grow at a healthy rate in the future

However, volatility in raw material prices and stringent regulations imposed by the trade organizations upon the trade and consumption of glycine and glycine products might hamper the growth of the global glycine market in the future.

Glycine Market Segmentation

Based on the grade, the market is segmented as food grade, technical grade, and pharmaceutical grade. The food grade is the dominant segment of the global glycine market owing to rising global food consumption.

According to the statistics by the World Bank, the World population increased from 7.46 billion in 2016 to 7.55 billion in 2017 reaching 7.63 billion in 2017. According to the Food and agricultural organization, the projected global economic growth of about 2.9% annually would lead to a significant reduction or near elimination of absolute poverty in the developing countries of the world. Demand for cereals, for both food and animal feed, uses is expected to reach some 3 billion tons by 2050 from 2.1 billion tons in 2018. Owing to these factors, the global food-grade segment is anticipated to dominate the global glycine market in the future.

Based on the application, the market is segmented into the food and beverage industry, pharmaceutical industry, cosmetic industry, and chemical industry. The growth of the global pharmaceutical industry is one of the major factors for the growth of glycine applications in the pharma industry which in turn is boosting the growth of the global glycine market. According to the statistics published by the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA), The research-based pharmaceutical industry played a critical role in restoring Europe to growth and ensuring future competitiveness in an advancing global economy. In 2017 it invested an estimated € 35,200 million in R&D in Europe. In 2017 North America accounted for 48.1% of world pharmaceutical sales compared with 22.2% for Europe. 64.1% of sales of new medicines launched during the period 2012-2017 were on the US market, compared with 18.1% on the European market. Owing to these factors, the pharmaceutical industry application segment is anticipated to dominate the global glycine market in the future.
