What Are the Core Market Drivers Propelling Growth in the Monosodium Glutamate Industry?

The growth of the monosodium glutamate market is expected to be driven by an increase in the popularity of processed food. This food category includes anything that has been altered from its natural state through various methods, including cooking, curing, smoking, fermenting, or the addition of preservatives or flavor-enhancing ingredients. The growing preference for processed food is attributed to busy lifestyles and evolving food habits and tastes. Monosodium glutamate (MSG), renowned for its flavor-enhancing properties, especially in adding a savory umami taste, is frequently used in the production of processed foods. Its heightened appeal in the food industry stems from its ability to boost taste and make processed foods more palatable, thereby heightening consumer satisfaction. For example, in 2023, the United States Department of Agriculture, a U.S.-based federal institution, reported that there was a 1.7% increase from previous years in the total value of U.S. processed food products exported from the country, amounting to $36.59 billion. Hence, the escalating demand for ready-to-eat and processed food bolsters the monosodium glutamate market.

What Are the Key Market Trends in the Monosodium Glutamate Market Over the Coming Years?

Key players in the monosodium glutamate market are concentrating on inventing new techniques for producing recombinant proteins on a large scale. This innovative approach has the potential to transform mass production into a variety of valuable proteins, such as those found in milk and eggs, infant food supplements, nutraceuticals, and therapeutic molecules. For example, researchers from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) introduced a new process for the large-scale production of recombinant proteins in May 2024. The new process uses the common monosodium glutamate (MSG) food additive as a safer alternative. This pioneering production system could be widely utilized in biotech companies to mass manufacture a range of valuable proteins, including therapeutic molecules, nutraceuticals, and supplements for baby food.
