Europe Amino Acid Price

Q2 2024:

Throughout Q2 2024, the European amino acid market replicated trends that were observed in North America, with prices initially declining due to lower consumption in supplements and nutraceuticals sectors. Lower manufacturing costs, notably in the corn market also contributed to the reduction. Furthermore, spot inquiries remained inadequate, resulting in excess reserves that traders were ready to clear inventories. However, by quarter end, a gradual price increase was observed as consumption began on a need-based approach. Despite these fluctuations, market outlook for threonine had stayed positive due to sustained demand in the feed and food-grade industries.

Q1 2024:

In Q1 2024, the European amino acid market, notably in Germany, observed considerable price fluctuation due to increased downstream demand during the winter season, holidays, and heightened social activities. This hike in demand for immunity-boosting supplements was fueled by supply chain delays caused by geopolitical concerns and trade uncertainties, such as higher logistical costs due to route changes in the Red Sea and interruptions during the Chinese New Year. Aside from that, an increase in freight prices and a decline in shipments from major suppliers intensified the amino acid pricing landscape in Europe.

This analysis can be extended to include detailed amino acid price information for a comprehensive list of countries.

North America Amino Acid Price

Q2 2024:

In Q2 2024, the North American amino acid market witnessed fluctuations due to a combination of regional and global factors. Early in the quarter, rise in demand from the livestock and nutraceutical industries caused price hikes. However, logistics interruptions, such as the collapse of the Baltimore Bridge, had a huge impact on supply networks, specifically throughout the East Coast. Moreover, geopolitical concerns in the Middle East exacerbated trade activities globally, driving the demand for alternate shipping routes. Despite these challenges, the market had ample reserves by the end of the quarter, driven by overproduction and minimal trading activity, resulting in a huge price decline as June began.

Q1 2024:

In Q1 of 2024, the North American amino acid market experienced considerable price volatility, notably in the United States, due to supply chain interruptions and geopolitical concerns. Rising raw material costs and temporary factory closures in China around the Lunar New Year caused import delays until mid-February, keeping prices high. However, elevating transportation and freight prices exacerbated logistics. A shift occurred in January 2024, when prices started to decline due to year-end destocking in December 2023, which lowered demand and boosted inventory levels, mitigating some of the previous market volatility.

Asia Pacific Amino Acid Price

Q2 2024:

In the second quarter of 2024, the market in the Asia Pacific region showed consistent price declines due to lower demand in major sectors such as pharmaceuticals and animal feed. India experienced considerable price drops owing to subdued feed demand and weaker agricultural activity over the summer. Furthermore, the market's negative trend was aggravated by consistent upstream expenses and logistical issues, such as delayed shipments. Despite modest upward price movement in the initial two months due to increased inquiries, the overall market sentiment remained negative during the second quarter, with the INR's depreciation versus the dollar further affecting domestic pricing.

Q1 2024:

In Q1 2024, the amino acid market in the Asia Pacific region, especially China, faced major price fluctuations. Initially, price rates increased due to heightened downstream and international demand in the feed and food sectors, alongside limited supply from manufacturing slowdowns and labor shortages. However, by January, easing disruption in Red Sea trade and reduction in freight prices led to a resurgence in production and adjusted prices to offset earlier losses. With strong early export activities, prices declined as there were sufficient supplies, weakened demand, and year-end destocking activities.

Product Description

Amino acids are very important organic molecules that form the basic structure of proteins. An amino acid comprises the amino group, the carboxyl group, a central carbon atom, and the R group, which is different for all amino acids. They are synthesized in two primary ways: by the activities of living organisms, as well as, by chemical synthesis through efforts of industries and chemical analysts and scientists. Amino acids are considered precursors of body proteins, enzymes, and neurotransmitters and work as regulators for pathways relating to metabolism, immunity, and the formation of non-hydrolyzable proteins in the human body.

They are essential for the growth of all the body tissues, they act as neurotransmitters and as carriers of neurotransmitters, they intervene in the regulation of mood and sleep-wake cycle, and they inter alia act as a transport system of molecules across cell membranes. In medicine, amino acids are used in vitamin and dietary products besides being applied in therapies for metabolic illnesses. They are used in industry for the production of animal feed as growth and health boosters in biotechnology for the production of biodegradable plastics, drugs, and cosmetics, and in food technology as flavoring agents and preservatives.
