United
Kingdom amino acids market is anticipated to grow significantly rate in the
projected period of 2028. The
components of proteins and amino acids are crucial to many biological processes. According to the Food and Drink Federation, the food
and drink sector is the single largest employer in the UK manufacturing sector.
Around 440,000 people across the UK are employed in jobs associated with food
and drink manufacturing and sales. The food and drink sector had an annual
turnover in 2020 of USD 145 billion.
They are also the building blocks of proteins. They are frequently employed in
sectors including food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, animal feed, and
cosmetics since they are crucial for the growth and development of living
creatures. The need for diets high in protein, growing health consciousness,
and technological improvements are all projected to cause the amino acid market
in the United Kingdom to expand dramatically in the forthcoming years. Amino
acids are also used in the pharmaceutical industry for a range of applications,
including drug development, vaccine production, and as a component of
parenteral nutrition. With advances in biotechnology and growing demand for
personalized medicine, the use of amino acids in pharmaceuticals is expected to
increase. As per the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and
Associations, in 2019, the pharmaceutical industry invested more than USD 41,660
million in R&D in Europe.
The food and beverage industry are the largest consumer
of amino acids, accounting for a significant share of the market. Amino acids
are used as food additives in various products such as sports drinks, energy
bars, and supplements. They are also used as flavor enhancers, emulsifiers, and
stabilizers in processed foods. The demand for amino acids in the food and
beverage industry is expected to increase due to the growing demand for healthy
and functional foods. As per Food Drink Europe, the EU food and drink
industry employs 4.6 million people, generates a turnover of USD 1.21 trillion
and USD 253.17 billion in value-added, making it one of the largest
manufacturing industries in the EU.
The cosmetics industry is another important consumer for
amino acids, particularly to produce hair and skin care products. Amino acids
are used in cosmetics as moisturizers, conditioners, and anti-aging agents. The
demand for amino acids in the cosmetics industry is expected to increase due to
the growing demand for natural and organic cosmetics. As per Cosmetics
Europe, the Personal Care Association, valued at USD 88.03 billion at a retail
sales price in 2021, the European cosmetics and personal care market is one of the
largest market for cosmetic products in the world. The largest national markets
for cosmetics and personal care products within Europe are Germany, France,
Italy, the UK, Spain, and Poland. Due to their advantageous
characteristics, enzymes have been utilized in the cosmetics industry for
several years. Pumpkin-derived enzymes are used in cosmetics to promote smooth
skin. Besides that, enzymes are included in formulas that fight acne, aging,
and pigmentation. Moreover, enzymes are used to exfoliate the skin, stop the
formation of free radicals that harm the body and skin, maintain firm skin, and
have antibacterial qualities. In addition, the amino acids market has seen
significant technological advancements in recent years, including the
development of new fermentation and bio catalysis techniques. These
advancements have led to increased production efficiency, reduced costs, and
expanded applications for amino acids, further driving the market growth.
One of the other main factors driving the growth of the
amino acid market in the United Kingdom is the increasing popularity of
plant-based diets. Many people are turning to vegetarian and vegan diets, which
can be low in certain essential amino acids. As a result, there is a growing
demand for plant-based amino acid supplements, which can help ensure that individuals
on these diets are getting all the amino acids they need. As per the
Vegetarian Society UK, 4.5% of the UK population has a vegetarian or vegan
diet, and there are just over 3 million vegetarians and vegans (adults and
children over the age of 18 months) in the UK. Further, in 2020, consumers in
the United Kingdom spent almost USD 663 million on meat-free food items. This
is almost twice the spending of 2016.
The animal feed industry is also a significant consumer
of amino acids, particularly in the production of poultry and swine feed. Amino
acids are added to animal feed to improve the quality and quantity of meat
production. The demand for amino acids in the animal feed industry is expected
to increase due to the growing demand for animal protein and the increasing
adoption of intensive animal farming practices. According to the European
Feed Manufacturers' Federation (FEFAC), EU compound feed production for farmed
animals in 2020 is estimated at 164.90 million tons, an incremental increase of
0.1% compared to 2019. The use of enzymes as feed additives has a twenty-year
history. Enzymes are employed in the feed business to improve nutrient
digestibility, with a particular emphasis on reducing the detrimental effects
of non-starch polysaccharides (NSP). Furthermore, the increasing use of amino
acids in sports nutrition products is propelling the market. Supplements for
sports nutrition are becoming more and more popular, especially among athletes
and anyone who engages in strenuous physical activity. One of the main factors
driving the expansion of the sports nutrition industry, which promotes the use
of amino acids in the sector, is the increasing emphasis on maintaining health
and fitness. Other important factors include the expanding involvement in
sports, health clubs, sports clubs, and gyms. Dietary supplements are a common
practice among athletes who regularly train or compete. One of the most
well-liked dietary supplements marketed to athletes and anyone physically
active is protein. Amino acids improve performance in several ways, including
boosting the release of anabolic hormones, altering the way that fuel is used
when exercising, avoiding the negative consequences of overtraining, and
minimizing mental tiredness.
The pharmaceutical industry is another chief consumer
of amino acids, particularly to produce drugs and nutritional supplements.
Amino acids are used as precursors for the synthesis of various drugs and are
also used in the production of parenteral nutrition solutions. According to
the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry, the pharmaceutical
industry spends USD 160 billion per year on research and development. The
demand for amino acids in the pharmaceutical industry is expected to increase
due to the growing prevalence of chronic diseases and the increasing demand for
personalized medicine.

Growing demand for Dietary Supplements
Amino acids are essential building blocks of protein,
and they are commonly used in dietary supplements to support muscle growth and
recovery. As people become more health conscious and interested in sports and
fitness, the demand for dietary supplements has increased. This trend is
expected to continue, driving growth in the amino acid market. According to
the Health Food Manufacturers’ Association (HFMA), there has been a 19%
increase in supplement users in the UK, and over 71% of adults are taking food
supplements. Among the new users, vitamin D topped the list of the most common
dietary additions at 63%, followed by vitamin C at 39%. The United
Kingdom's dietary supplement market is expected to grow at a rapid pace over the
next few years, driven by increasing demand for healthy and natural products.
Moreover, in recent years, there has been a growing demand for dietary
supplements that contain amino acids. This trend can be attributed to several
factors, including the rise of the health and wellness movement, increased
awareness of the importance of protein in the diet, and a growing interest in
sports and fitness.
