India Feed Amino Acids Market Analysis
The India Feed Amino Acids Market size is expected to grow from USD 320.15 million in 2023 to USD 421.01 million by 2028, at a CAGR of 5.63% during the forecast period (2023-2028).
- Lysine is the Largest Sub Additive : The lysine segment is the largest as lysine is required for the growth of animals and for improving the utilization rate of feed and the quality of meat.
- Poultry is the Largest Animal : Poultry is the largest segment due to the increased usage of amino acids in poultry feed, which helps in the growth of broilers by providing high protein through the feed.
- Methionine is the Fastest-growing Sub Additive : Methionine is the fastest-growing segment under amino acids because it is an important limiting nutrient and helps in the production of high-quality chicken meat and pork.
- Poultry is the Fastest-growing Animal : Poultry is the fastest-growing segment because of the rising purchasing power of the Indian population, changes in food consumption, and the increasing demand for poultry meat.

India Feed Amino Acids Market Trends
This section covers the major market trends shaping the India Feed Amino Acids Market according to our research experts:
Lysine is the largest Sub Additive
- In 2022, India emerged as the second-largest feed amino acid market in the Asia-Pacific region, accounting for 8.4% of the total market value. As essential amino acids are often insufficient in natural feedstuffs, supplementing them in animal diets enhances feed efficiency and promotes animal growth.
- Methionine and lysine are critical amino acids that serve various metabolic functions in monogastric animals. In India, lysine and methionine were the two most crucial feed amino acids by market value, accounting for over 72% of the total market value in 2022.
- Threonine, another essential amino acid for animals, is a limiting amino acid in swine and poultry diets, playing a crucial role in regulating nutritional metabolism, macromolecular biosynthesis, and gastrointestinal homeostasis. The market for threonine-feed amino acids in India is expected to register a CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period.
- Poultry and ruminants were the most important animal types in terms of amino acid usage in India, accounting for 66% and 27.7% of the total feed amino acids market, respectively, in 2022. The larger share of ruminant feed amino acid usage was due to the increased animal headcount and amino acid requirement in the country's broiler and dairy cattle farming.
- India's feed amino acids market is projected to record a CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period, mainly driven by the rising demand for meat and meat products and the growing awareness of the benefits of using amino acids to balance gut pH and prevent infections.

Market Definition
- FUNCTIONS - For the purpose of the study, feed additives are considered to be commercially-manufactured products that are used to enhance the characteristics such as weight gain, feed conversion ratio, and feed intake when fed in appropriate proportions.
- RESELLERS - Companies engaged in reselling of feed additives without value addition have been excluded from the market scope, in order to avoid double counting.
- END CONSUMERS - Compound feed manufacturers are considered to be end-consumers in the market studied. The scope excludes farmers buying feed additives to be used directly as supplements or premixes.
- INTERNAL COMPANY CONSUMPTION - Companies engaged in the production of compound feed as well as the manufacturing of feed additives are part of the study. However, while estimating the market sizes, the internal consumption of feed additives by such companies has been excluded.
