Methionine Market Size Show 6.45% CAGR Through 2031 | Feed-Grade and Bio-Fermentation Leading Growth

The global methionine market size is estimated at 2.06 million tons and is projected to grow to 2.81 million tons by 2031. Methionine market growth is supported by technological adoption in feed formulation, automation in dosing systems, and the commercialization of bio-fermentation routes. 

The Methionine Industry is a critical segment of the global amino-acid industry, is witnessing robust growth as demand for high-protein animal feed intensifies. Methionine, an essential amino acid, supports muscle growth, egg production, and milk protein synthesis, making it indispensable for poultry, aquaculture, and dairy nutrition. As of 2026,

Emerging Trends and Driving Factors  

Poultry Feed Demand: Methionine supplementation improves feed conversion ratios by 7.3% and enhances live weights by 13.8%. 

Aquaculture Expansion: Plant-based feeds lacking natural methionine drive the use of fortified amino-acid blends in tilapia, shrimp, and carp diets. 

Rumen-Protected Methionine: Dairy herds increasingly adopt encapsulated methionine to bypass rumen degradation, boosting milk protein yields. 

Bio-Fermentation Growth: Engineered microbial fermentation reduces dependency on petrochemical synthesis and lowers carbon footprint. 

Liquid Methionine Penetration: Automated feed mills in North America and Asia-Pacific raise efficiency, with liquid methionine usage reaching up to 90% in some regions.
