As per our analysis report, the global Lysine Market is expected to reach USD 2,829.81 million by 2029 from USD 2,061.55 million in 2024, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.54 % during the forecast timeline. The powder form of lysine holds a large market share in the lysine market due to its wide usage in the treatment of diseases. The Asia-Pacific region is the major market share holder for lysine owing to the increase in urban lifestyle and ready-eat-food category.
There is a great demand from the cattle growers as they require more lysine. The increase in the demand for animal-based products by humans for various purposes is expected to drive the market. The natural growth supporters are expected to activate the market momentum. The rise in awareness about the usefulness of feed additives in reducing diseases has created an uprise in the demand for lysine.
The increasing demand for organic meat is expected to drive the growth of the lysine market. The concern about food safety and security has increased the demand for high-quality lysine to have good quality meat. Another factor that is expected to drive the lysine market growth is the rise in awareness among farm owners about the importance of maintaining animal health. The farm owners started to concentrate on animal feed, which had a high nutritional value along with all the nutritional requirements. This resulted in the transformation from the standard lysine to functional and premium lysine variants that help in immunity against certain diseases such as enzootic disease. It not only increases immunity but also lowers the risk of metabolic disorders, acidosis, injuries, and infections.
There is less awareness about the product, which may further challenge the growth of the market. For the manufacturers, it is difficult and expensive to meet the regulatory requirements and secure the permits. It is seen majorly when launching new products. The changing consumer preferences, such as towards plant-based diets, may be shown to have an impact on meat product demand. The impact on the livestock sector directly affects the lysine product as it is required for animal feed. The lack of feedstock supply may lead to higher prices, and government interventions are required to reduce the market participants’ profitability. To counter the issues, key players have to focus on research and development to optimize capacity and reduce prices.
During the pandemic period, almost all sectors had faced the challenges. Agriculture and food production are the sectors that are affected the most by COVID-19. The farmers continued to produce high-quality animal feed to the farm animals to meet the global demand. Another significant factor that affected the market is the disruption of the supply chain. There is a situation that caused restrictions on trade at both national and international levels in order to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 virus. China is one of the major producers and exporters of amino acids for feed and has stocked enough stock during the pandemic period. The supply of raw materials and other essential goods is hampered due to disruptions in logistics.
