Report Code: FBR 69148 Report Format: PDF + Excel

Monosodium L-glutamate Market Overview

Monosodium L-glutamate Market Size is estimated to reach $7.1 billion by 2027. Furthermore, it is poised to grow at a CAGR of 5.1% over the forecast period of 2022-2027. Monosodium L-glutamate (MSG) is an L-configured active form of monosodium glutamate. It is a glutamic acid's sodium salt, which is a non essential amino acid. L-glutamic acid is a glutamic acid with an L-configuration that is optically active. It functions as a nutraceutical, a vitamin, a metabolite of Escherichia coli, non essential amino acid a metabolite of mice, and a ferroptosis inducer, and these glutamic acids are also adopted as flavoring agents in food products. It's a proteinogenic amino acid, a glutamic acid, and an L-alpha-amino acid. MSG is present in high concentrations in a variety of foods, including seaweed, parmesan cheese, soy sauce, and tomatoes. Monosodium L-glutamate is a feed additive used to enhance the flavor or odor. Moreover, Monosodium L-glutamate is also employed as a preservative, umami, and acidity regulator.

Rising demand for food processing industries is estimated to boost Monosodium L-glutamate Market development. Furthermore, the growing demand for Monosodium L-glutamate from emerging nations is a key trend that is projected to drive the market during the forecast period 2022-2027. However, the high use of monosodium glutamate is likely to create health problems such as rashes, headaches, fast heartbeat, and extreme thirst, all of which are projected to stifle market growth.

Monosodium L-glutamate Market Segmentation Analysis- By Application 

Monosodium L-glutamate Market based on the Application can be further segmented into Additives, Preservatives, Flavor enhancers, Acidity regulators, and others. Additives held a dominant market share in the year 2021 and are one of the most often used feed additives is MSG. The significant share is attributable to the fact that monosodium glutamate is now favored since it encourages increased demand for convenience meals, an increase in taste inclination, and an increase in disposable money, all of which drive the Monosodium Glutamate market's growth. Furthermore, the rising need for non essential amino acids and flavor enhancers in noodles, soup, and broth has raised the demand for monosodium glutamate, making it excellent for a variety of food and beverage applications.
Also, the Additives segment is estimated to be the fastest-growing, with a CAGR of 6.7% over the forecast period of 2022-2027 on account of growing demand for monosodium glutamate in meat products as feed additives, rising meat consumption among the youthful population, and a rise in new releases are all contributing to the market's continued expansion.

Monosodium L-glutamate Market Segmentation Analysis- By End User

Monosodium L-glutamate Market based on the End User can be further segmented into Food Processing Industry, Medical/pharmaceutical industry, Livestock Industry, Cosmetic Industry, and Others. The Food Processing Industry held a dominant market share in the year 2021. The word "food processing" is frequently used to describe the production of packaged foods like TV dinners. It really is an important part of human life; the food processing business is normally heavily regulated to ensure food safety. Monosodium glutamate, or MSG, is one of the most prevalent but divisive substances used to improve the taste and flavor of foods during processing. Maximum allowable limits of MSG need to be added to canned crab meat (500mg/kg maximum) alone, according to FSSAI standards 2019. However, there are no standards for the maximum amount of naturally occurring MSG that can be consumed in food.
However, the Medical/pharmaceutical industry segment is estimated to be the fastest-growing, with a CAGR of 7.9% over the forecast period of 2022-2027. This is owing to the growing working population, the increasing need for personalized and novel food alternatives, changing customer tastes, and increased investment by key players in the pharmaceutical/medical sector, the market is estimated to develop at a faster rate during the forecast period 2022-2027.

Monosodium L-glutamate Market Segmentation Analysis- By Geography

The Monosodium L-glutamate Market based on Geography can be further segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, and the Rest of the World. North America held a dominant market share of 33% in the year 2021 as compared to its other counterparts on account of increased demand for processed foods, feed additives, and flavoring agents.
However, Asia-Pacific is estimated to be the fastest-growing over the forecast period of 2022-2027 on account of the rising use of glutamate salts, particularly in meat and other high-protein meals.

Monosodium L-glutamate Market Drivers

Rising Global Meat Consumption is Propelling the Market

According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), by 2050, meat consumption across the world is estimated to reach between 460 million and a staggering 570 million tons. The increased consumption of meat in both developed and developing nations is likely to drive demand for monosodium glutamate, which is utilized in animal feed, throughout the forecast period. The global monosodium glutamate (MSG) market is being driven by an increase in demand for ready-to-eat meat products. 
Furthermore, as per capita income in emerging nations rises, so does the demand for frozen meat products, particularly among the working population. Other important drivers expected to drive the worldwide monosodium glutamate (MSG) market in the near future include rapid expansion of the animal husbandry industry, particularly in emerging countries, and a rise in government measures, including subsidies and programs, to stimulate cattle growth. Hence, rising meat consumption is estimated to increase the market for Monosodium L-glutamate.

Increasing Demand for Processing Foods is Driving the Market Growth

According to NABARD 2020, in recent years, the food processing industry has grown at a pace of about 20%. The industrial food processing sector has evolved to fulfill the present demand for food materials. The country's food processing industry is dominated by unorganized businesses. 
For instance, the demand for instant noodles hit 106 billion servings in 2019, according to the World Instant Noodles Association. Around 40% of these quick noodle packets are broken open in China, but when it comes to consumption per capita, South Korea has the most noodle enthusiasts, with the average South Korean consuming more than 75 servings each year. As a result, increased demand for processed foods is anticipated to enhance the Monosodium L-glutamate Market.

Monosodium L-glutamate Market Challenges

Side Effects Like Burning and Chest Discomfort of Monosodium L-glutamate are Restraining the Market Growth

According to the International Food Information Council 2019 report, 4 in 10 consumers in the United States are actively avoiding Monosodium L-glutamate owing to its side effects. Chinese Restaurant Syndrome is a real clinical illness that is triggered only by MSG. Following MSG use, the most common symptoms reported were burning, face pressure, and chest discomfort. Chinese cuisine and MSG have also been associated with headaches, nausea, stomach pain, substernal burning, diaphoresis, palpitations, and asthma.
According to Mayo clinic 2020, no conclusive proof of a relationship between MSG and these symptoms has been discovered by experts. However, researchers recognize that MSG may cause short-term responses in a tiny number of persons. The symptoms are typically minor and do not necessitate medical attention. Avoiding MSG-containing meals is the only method to avoid a response. Hence, Monosodium L-rising glutamate's side effects are stifling the Monosodium L-glutamate Market.
