Glycine Chelated Trace Minerals Market to Reach USD 649 Million

Glycine chelated trace minerals (often called glycinates) are mineral salts in which key micronutrients (zinc, copper, iron, manganese, chromium, etc.) are bound to the amino acid glycine to improve stability and biological availability. The product finds its primary use as an ingredient in animal feed premixes, human dietary supplements, and specialty agriculture/plant nutrition applications where higher absorption and reduced antagonism versus inorganic salts are required. The industry combines specialty chemical manufacturing (chelation chemistry), feed formulation, and nutrition science and is driven by rising demand for precision nutrition in livestock, growth of plant-forward human diets that raise mineral bioavailability concerns, and regulatory pressures to reduce inorganic mineral discharge into the environment.

The market size in 2024 amounted to USD 419 million with a projected compound annual growth rate of 6.5% until 2031, reaching market size USD 648 million by 2031. With an average selling price of USD 1,357 per ton, the global volume implied by that 2024 value is approximately 308,769 ton sold. A factory gross margin around 25%, which translates to an average gross profit of about USD 339 per ton and a cost of goods sold is USD 1,018 per ton. A COGS breakdown is raw material inputs (metal salts and glycine), energy-intensive drying/granulation, packaging, and freight. A single line full machine capacity production is around 10,000 ton per line per year. Downstream demand is dominated by the animal nutrition followed by nutraceuticals and other industrial uses.
Latest Trends and Technological Developments
The glycine-chelate segment has seen active product launches, capacity additions, and R&D aimed at higher-concentration granules, improved flowability, and plant-forward nutrition claims. In late 2024 and through 2025, firms and trade publications emphasized product lines based on glycine chelation for improved bioavailability in animal feed and human nutrition, and several companies highlighted R&D into novel chelation processes and application-specific formulations. Balchem and allied brands continue to position chelated minerals for plant-forward human diets and for reduced environmental losses (company communications November 2025). Pancosma/ADMs glycine-based multi-mineral products (B-TRAXIM family) have been actively promoted to feed customers as integrated glycine-chelate premixes (press material / industry magazine November 2024). Research literature through 2024 to 2025 is also showing more head-to-head studies comparing glycinates vs inorganic sources for poultry, swine and aquaculture, reinforcing the performance and inclusion-rate advantages in some production systems.
Cargill purchases a bulk shipment of Glycine Chelated Trace Minerals, specifically a complex including zinc, copper, and manganese, from Novus International to fortify its premium-range swine starter feeds. The high bioavailability of the chelated minerals is critical for supporting robust immune function and skeletal development in weanling pigs. For this order, Cargill procured 20 metric tons of the mineral premix at a contract price of low thousand dollars per metric ton
The product is used by Tyson Foods in its integrated poultry operations. The glycine-chelated trace minerals are incorporated into the feed ration for broiler breeder flocks at several of their contract farms. This strategic application is proven to enhance eggshell quality, improve hatchability rates, and increase the vitality of the chicks. For a single, large-scale breeder complex, Tyson allocates approximately 5 metric tons of the chelated mineral blend per month, high-purity product supplied by Zinpro Performance Minerals.
Asia is a strategic hotspot for glycine chelate demand and production. Rapid modernization of livestock production across China, India, and Southeast Asia, the large scale of aquaculture and poultry sectors, and rising supplement markets in urban centers are major demand drivers. China hosts several significant producers with large domestic capacities and export footprints; examples include manufacturers reporting line capacities from the hundreds to tens of thousands of ton per year depending on plant scale. Chinese companies have invested both in commodity glycinates (zinc, iron glycinates) and in premix/formulated products intended for regional feed mills. Regional feed industry consolidation and local regulatory pushes for lower inorganic mineral discharge further support uptake of organic chelated forms.

Regional Insights
Within ASEAN, demand is concentrated in animal nutrition for poultry, swine and increasingly aquaculture, with Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, and the Philippines the largest markets by volume. ASEAN manufacturers and regional subsidiaries of global players have expanded capacity in recent years; for instance, multinational expansions into Vietnam and distribution partnerships across Southeast Asia have been noted. In Indonesia the large feed industry, growth in aquaculture, and national focus on improving feed conversion and animal performance create steady demand for glycinates. Local companies and regional suppliers typically source both imported high-grade chelate and domestically manufactured glycinates depending on price and specification.
The segment faces challenges around feedstock price volatility for metal salts and amino acids, competition from cheaper inorganic mineral sources in price-sensitive regions, and regulatory/labeling differences across markets that can slow product adoption. Raw material sourcing (quality of glycine and metal precursors), process control to avoid free-metal contamination, and the need for consistent analytical verification of chelation/assay are technical hurdles for smaller manufacturers. Logistics and trade barriers can affect seamless supply to Southeast Asian feed mills, and margins are squeezed when commodity prices rise. Lastly, fragmentation of demand (multiple trace elements and application forms) complicates scale economics for niche producers. Market reports and company statements underline these recurring constraints.
Producers that invest in R&D for higher-concentration, stable granules and that can offer premix-ready blends tailored for poultry, swine and aquaculture will capture premium positions. Vertical integration or long-term supply agreements for glycine feedstock and metal precursors reduce COGS volatility. Partnerships with regional feed compounders and demonstration trials in SEA production systems (showing lower inclusion rates for equivalent performance) accelerate adoption. For buyers, validating supply-chain traceability and third-party assay reporting is increasingly important for quality and regulatory compliance. Financing expansion in ASEAN via joint ventures or toll-manufacturing agreements can be an effective route to build market share without full greenfield capital outlay.

Glycine chelated trace minerals sit at the intersection of nutrition science and specialty manufacturing, with particularly strong demand in animal feed and growing interest in human and plant nutrition. Asia and Southeast Asia are major growth theaters driven by large feed industries and aquaculture growth. While margins are attractive for high-quality, certified producers, success depends on raw material sourcing, process control, and the ability to demonstrate cost-in-use benefits to feed formulators. Market momentum, supported by R&D and targeted regional expansions, points to steady growth through 2031.

Investor Analysis
The report highlights market size, growth rate to 2031, per-ton pricing and an implied global volume in 2024. Investors can use these figures to model revenue trajectories, assess capacity utilization scenarios, and evaluate margin sensitivity to feedstock price swings. The combination of technical differentiation (chelation chemistry), regulatory tailwinds for reduced inorganic discharge, and concentrated demand from high-volume feed sectors makes well-positioned producers attractive targets for growth capital or strategic M&A. Key tactical plays for investors include backing R&D/scale-up for higher-value premix products, securing long-term raw-material contracts, investing in regional JV/greenfield capacity in ASEAN, or partnering with established brands to accelerate market entry.
