According to a report published by 6wresearch in 2018, the market size of glutamic acid in Indonesia was estimated to be around US$87.8 million that year. The demand for glutamic acid has been increasing steadily since then and is expected to continue doing so due to its growing applications in food products like cheese, seasoning mixes, and protein-rich beverages. Moreover, the demand for glutamic acid is also driven by industrial applications such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, feed additives, textiles dyeing agents etc.
The Indonesia Glutamic Acid market is expected to grow owing to its utilization in the food and beverage industry as a flavor enhancer. As consumer palates evolve and demand for savory and umami flavors rises, the use of glutamic acid in processed foods, snacks, and restaurant offerings increases. Changing dietary habits and culinary preferences contribute to the market`s expansion.
Challenges may involve market saturation, pricing pressures due to global competition, regulatory compliance for food additives, and exploring sustainable sourcing methods.
The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic had a multifaceted impact on various sectors, including the glutamic acid market in Indonesia. The implementation of lockdowns, travel restrictions, and shifts in consumer behavior disrupted supply chains and created fluctuations in demand. The foodservice industry, a significant consumer of glutamic acid for its flavor-enhancing properties, experienced a downturn due to widespread restaurant closures and reduced dine-in activities. Similarly, the cosmetics and personal care sector, which also relies on ingredients like glutamic acid, faced challenges as consumer preferences shifted towards essential products during uncertain times.
Major players could include amino acid producers and suppliers like Ajinomoto, Kyowa Hakko Bio, and CJ CheilJedang, which are involved in the production and distribution of food-grade glutamic acid and related products.
