According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Monosodium Glutamate Residue market size was valued at US$ 412 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 553 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 4.0% during review period.
In 2025, global sales of monosodium glutamate (MSG) residue reached 2 million tons, with an average selling price of approximately US0 per ton. The industry's gross profit margin was approximately 13%-26%. MSG residue is a byproduct of the MSG (monosodium glutamate) production process, produced through microbial fermentation to extract glutamic acid. It is dried, pulverized, and processed. Its core components are microbial protein, non-protein nitrogen, and residual amino acids. It appears as a grayish-brown or yellowish-brown powder, possessing the characteristic aroma of fermented glutamic acid, and free from moldy or rancid odors. As a high-protein feed ingredient, its crude protein content can reach 40%-65%, replacing some soybean meal and reducing breeding costs. Upstream: Primarily using starchy raw materials such as corn and wheat, with coal and electricity supply ensuring the stability of the fermentation process; Midstream: MSG producers extract glutamic acid through bio-fermentation technology, and the remaining residue is dried and pulverized to produce MSG residue; Downstream: Feed companies (such as CP Group and New Hope Group) use it as a protein raw material to replace soybean meal, agricultural companies (such as Sinochem Fertilizer) develop organic fertilizer products, and aquaculture farmers use it for pond fertilization.
Market drivers mainly include:
The demand for cost reduction in the feed industry is driving the application of alternative raw materials; fluctuations in soybean meal prices and import dependence are prompting livestock companies to seek low-cost protein sources. Monosodium glutamate (MSG) residue has a high crude protein content and costs only 60%-70% of soybean meal. It can replace 10%-30% of soybean meal in pig, chicken, and fish feed, significantly reducing formulation costs. For example, Meihua Biotechnology has optimized its technology to achieve a digestibility of over 90% for MSG residue in pig feed, promoting its transformation from a "cheap filler" to a "functional protein raw material."
Agricultural sustainable development policies promote resource recycling. National "dual carbon" targets and circular economy policies require reducing industrial waste emissions. MSG production generates 20-25 tons of high-concentration wastewater per ton, and direct discharge of the extracted MSG residue would cause serious pollution. Through resource utilization, companies can convert wastewater into 4.4 million tons of feed raw materials, alleviating protein resource shortages and reducing environmental treatment costs. Policy subsidies (such as organic fertilizer promotion subsidies) further accelerate the application of MSG residue in agriculture.
Large-scale expansion of aquaculture drives demand for specialized fertilizers. China accounts for over 60% of global aquaculture production, leading to a continuous increase in demand for pond fertilization and feed nutrition. Monosodium glutamate (MSG) residue is rich in amino acids and trace elements. When processed into granular fertilizer, it can promote the growth of aquatic plants, stabilize water quality, and reduce the use of chemical fertilizers. For example, Yinan Zhengxiang Fertilizer's MSG residue aquatic fertilizer has a market share of over 15% in major aquaculture provinces and cities such as Jiangsu and Hubei, becoming a green alternative to traditional chemical fertilizers.
