Food grade beta-alanine held the largest share in the beta-alanine market in 2019. Food grade beta-alanine is extracted from the food products. Food grade beta-alanine is taken as a nutritional supplement by the body builders. Many of the food and beverage industries in the United States and China are incorporating Food grade beta-alanine to utilized as a food additive for imitation of mushroom and fortify flavorings in gravies and other substances. The growth of Food grade beta-alanine can be taken as directly proportional to the growth of food industry. Some of the larger emerging markets of Food grade beta-alanine are China, India, Russia, Brazil and Japan driving growth, along with U.S. Global GDP growth of 3.5% and 3.6% is expected in 2017 and 2018 respectively however the meteoric growth that outpaces global GDP will be concentrated in countries like China, India and U.S.

Feed Additives application held the largest share in the beta-alanine market in 2019. Feed additives play an increasingly important role in animal nutrition.
