In India, amino acids find major application in compound feed market for broiler and cattle feed. Due to integrated farming and industrialization in poultry farms, the need for high end compound feed containing sophisticated feed ingredients has been witnessing an increase over the last few years. These high quality amino acids along with other feed ingredients are expected to increase the productivity of poultry in order to fulfill both domestic and export demand for broiler meat.

Growing use of amino acids in other application areas such as dietary supplements, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics is also driving the market for amino acids in the country. However, the quantity of consumption in these application areas is very limited. Methionine is currently the largest revenue contributor in India amino acid market, attributed to its higher price pointsand growing use in feed grade amino acids for compound feed products.

The poultry sector is also witnessing various initiatives by state governments in the form of subsidies and loans to upcoming poultry farms. This, in turn, is also driving the consumption of amino acids in India.
