Market at a Glance
Industry Size (2026): USD 1.5 Billion
Industry Value (2036): USD 2.7 Billion
CAGR (2026 to 2036): 6.8%
Structural Supply Shift Reshaping the Industry
The glycine market is witnessing a structural rebalancing of supply.
In June 2024, GEO Specialty Chemicals ceased operations at its Allentown, Pennsylvania facility, significantly impacting domestic U.S. supply of technical and industrial-grade glycine.
In October 2024, Evonik Industries AG announced a strategic restructuring of its and pharma amino acid business, including its glycine portfolio, under its Next Generation Evonik strategy.
FMI opines that the concurrent exit of GEO from U.S. glycine production and Evonik's restructuring are concentrating Western pharmaceutical-grade glycine supply in fewer hands. This shift is increasing pricing power for remaining producers while creating procurement risks for buyers dependent on non-Chinese sources.
At the same time, Chinese production capacity continues to expand, further intensifying global supply concentration dynamics.
Q&A: AI Overview Ready Insights
What is the growth outlook for the glycine market?
FMI projects the glycine market to grow at a CAGR of 6.8% from 2026 to 2036, increasing from USD 1.5 Billion in 2026 to USD 2.7 Billion by 2036.
How will the market structure evolve?
FMI analysts anticipate a bifurcated market structure:
Pharmaceutical-grade glycine commanding premium pricing under long-term agreements
Food and industrial grades facing commodity pricing from concentrated Chinese production
Which country holds the largest share?
China holds a significant share of the global glycine market, supported by the world's largest production capacity and low manufacturing costs through established chemical synthesis and fermentation infrastructure.
How large will the glycine market be by 2036?
The market is projected to reach USD 2.7 Billion by 2036.
Pricing Analysis: Regional Differentiation Intensifies
Glycine pricing varies significantly by geography due to purification levels, regulatory requirements, and manufacturing technologies.
Price Range (USD/kg):
United States: 4.00 - 5.50
India: 2.50 - 3.50
China: 2.00 - 3.00
United Kingdom: 4.50 - 6.00
Germany: 4.00 - 5.00
Higher prices in the United States and United Kingdom reflect stricter regulatory standards and advanced manufacturing technologies for high-purity pharmaceutical and food-grade glycine.
Germany follows a similar pricing trajectory due to sustained demand across food, agriculture, and pharmaceutical industries.
Export-Import Landscape: Production Powerhouses Emerge
Trade flows illustrate each country's production strength and market positioning.
Export/Import Volume (2026):
United States: Export 14,000 MT | Import 12,000 MT
India: Export 10,000 MT | Import 8,500 MT
China: Export 18,000 MT | Import 5,000 MT
United Kingdom: Export 4,500 MT | Import 4,000 MT
Germany: Export 7,800 MT | Import 6,000 MT
China remains the world's largest producer and exporter, driven by cost advantages targeting industrial applications such as agrochemicals and animal feed.
India maintains a positive trade balance, with strong demand from Southeast Asia and neighboring countries.
Key Demand Drivers
Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Expansion
Glycine plays a critical role in drug formulations and intravenous solutions. It is used in treating central nervous system disorders including schizophrenia and is widely incorporated into neurological treatments.
Additionally, its growing presence in nutraceutical supplements - supporting collagen production, muscle health, and general well-being - is accelerating healthcare demand.
Rising Use in Food and Beverage
Glycine's mild sweetness and bitterness-masking properties make it valuable as a flavor enhancer in processed foods, soft drinks, and confectionery products.
As manufacturers seek to reduce sugar and artificial additives without compromising taste, glycine adoption continues to expand.
Segment-Wise Outlook
By Grade
Top Grade (2026): Technical Grade
Market Share (2026): 38.5%
Technical-grade glycine dominates due to cost efficiency and versatility in agrochemicals, animal feed, and industrial applications. It also plays a significant role in herbicide production, including glyphosate.
By End-Use Industry
Top End-Use Industry (2026): Food & Beverage Industry
Market Share (2026): 45.2%
Clean-label compatibility and multifunctionality are driving glycine adoption in food and beverage applications, especially as manufacturers reformulate for reduced sugar content.
Country-Level Growth Momentum
India: Projected CAGR of 8.5% by 2036, driven by pharmaceutical manufacturing expansion.
China: Largest global industry with strong pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic demand.
USA: Positive CAGR supported by pharmaceuticals, food and beverages, and agriculture.
UK & Germany: Steady growth backed by wellness, pharmaceuticals, and clean-label trends.
Spain: Rising demand in dietary supplements, functional foods, and skincare applications.
Competitive Landscape
The market features a mix of global and regional manufacturers including:
Ajinomoto Co., Inc.
Evonik Industries AG
Chattem Chemicals, Inc.
Shijiazhuang Donghua Jinlong Chemical Co., Ltd.
In September 2024, Ajinomoto Co., Inc. and Danone formed a global alliance leveraging AjiPro L amino acid technology to reduce dairy supply chain emissions, signaling amino acid repositioning as sustainability tools.
Market Definition & Scope
The glycine market represents revenue from the production and sale of glycine across pharmaceutical excipient, food and beverage flavoring, animal nutrition, and personal care applications.
Included:
Pharmaceutical-grade glycine (USP, EP)
Food-grade glycine
Technical-grade glycine
Feed-grade glycine
Excluded:
Glycine derivatives such as N-methylglycine and glycine betaine
Glycine for internal captive consumption within integrated chemical complexes
Outlook
FMI concludes that the glycine market is entering a decade defined by supply concentration, pharmaceutical-grade premiumization, and sustainability-driven repositioning in animal nutrition. Buyers, particularly in pharmaceutical-grade segments, are expected to increasingly pursue long-term agreements to mitigate procurement risks amid Western capacity exits.
As structural realignment continues, glycine's strategic importance across regulated, consumer, and industrial value chains will remain firmly intact.
