MARKET REPORT FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE March 2022 69 Proteins and amino acids are building blocks of livestock lifecycle. Amino acids used by the body as a source of energy are categorized into three groups: essential amino acids, nonessential amino acids, and conditional amino acids. Animal body cannot produce essential amino acids. Essential amino acids include histidine, methionine, leucine, isoleucine, lysine, threonine, tryptophan, valine, and phenylalanine. Nonessential amino acids are those that can be produced in bodies. Nonessential amino acids comprise arginine, alanine, asparagine, cysteine, aspartic acid, glutamine, glycine, glutamic acid, proline, tyrosine, and serine. Conditional amino acids include cysteine, arginine, glutamine, glycine, tyrosine, ornithine, serine, and proline. Global Feed Amino Acids Market The global market size of amino acids used in all fields, including animal feed, exceeds 10 million tons in quantity and USD 24 billion in value. The market size of feed amino acids, on the other hand, is around USD 4 million according to some estimates. For example; in the report published by ReportLinker, the market size was estimated at USD 3,792.78 million in 2020 and expected to reach USD 3,991.91 million in 2021, at a CAGR 5.58% to reach USD 5,256.00 million by 2026. Due to the continuous modernization of livestock production methods and the increase in demand for animal protein, Asia-Pacific dominates the feed amino acids market. By Derya Yıldız
