Aspartic Acid Market: Restraints

High Cots of the Aspartic Acid

Aspartic acid is manufactured using various raw materials such as plant- and animal-based sources. Aspartic acid is manufactured by using various methods such as protein extraction, chemical synthesis and enzymatic conversion. The protein extraction method involves hydrolyzation method is used to produce amino acids, from which L-aspartic acid is then separated.

All these manufacturing methods are very costly and require skilled expertise to run these manufacturing processes. Furthermore, fluctuations in the raw material prices of aspartic acid due to supply chain disruptions and increasing trade wars are expected to increase the overall production cost of the aspartic acid, thereby increasing the selling price.

In many underdeveloped and developing countries aspartic acid penetration and usage is at a nascent stage due to the less adoption and less awareness about aspartic acid. Thus, such factors are restraining the market growth.

Lack of Universal Regulations Usage of Aspartic Acid

The growing demand for aspartic acid across the various end-use industries, such as food and pharmaceutical products, is increasing the regulatory burden on key stakeholders involved in this ecosystem. Every country and region have their own set of rules and regulations about usage of the aspartic acid.

For instance, in the European Union, the aspartic acid is regulated under the REACH Regulation in the European Union. In the United States, the Code of Federal Regulations formulates and implements the compliances required for aspartic acid in various end-use applications.

It also recognises the aspartic acid is generally considered safe when used by good manufacturing or feeding practices. The key players operating in the market are finding it very difficult to comply with such country-wide regulation because it is very time-consuming and capital intensive. Thus, such factors are restraining the overall market growth.

Aspartic Acid Market: Opportunities

Growing Demand for the Aspartic Acid in the Emerging Markets

Emerging markets such as China, India, Brazil, South Africa, Indonesia, Vietnam, and some Gulf countries are expected to create lucrative opportunities for the stakeholders operating in the aspartic acid market.
