India Methionine Market

India Methionine Market Overview:

The India methionine market size reached USD 215.73 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 368.51 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 6.13% during 2025-2033. The market is driven by rising demand from the poultry and aquaculture sectors, increasing focus on animal nutrition and feed efficiency, and heightened awareness of protein quality in livestock production. Growth in meat consumption, coupled with expansion of commercial farming operations, is further accelerating demand for methionine supplementation.

India Methionine Market Trends:

Shift Toward Functional Feed Additives in Livestock Nutrition

India’s livestock sector is witnessing a shift from traditional feed formulations to nutritionally optimized diets, with methionine gaining importance as a critical amino acid supplement. Feed manufacturers are integrating methionine to enhance protein synthesis, support animal growth, and reduce overall feed conversion ratios. This trend is driven by performance-linked outcomes, particularly in poultry and dairy farming. Regulatory developments promoting balanced feed additives and animal welfare are also influencing adoption. Moreover, methionine’s role in supporting gut health and immunity in animals is reinforcing its inclusion in high-performance feed blends. Domestic producers are focusing on expanding formulations to cater to regional dietary variations and breed-specific nutritional needs, contributing to a diversified methionine application landscape across the country. For instance, Adisseo, which operates in India through its subsidiary, Adisseo Animal Nutrition Private Limited, is a key player in the market, offering a broad portfolio under its Rhodimet® brand, which includes Rhodimet® AT88 (liquid OH-methionine) for modern feed mills and Rhodimet® NP99 (powder DL-methionine) for premixes and compound feeds. The company complements its products with support services such as PNE (real-time nutritional quality prediction using NIR), E.lab, NESTOR, and DIM. These tools help customers optimize methionine use in feed formulation. Adisseo emphasizes methionine’s role as a critical amino acid in animal nutrition and is investing in expanding its global production capacity, with a new powder methionine facility expected to begin operations by 2027.

Growth in Poultry Sector and Intensification of Commercial Farming

India’s poultry industry, one of the fastest-growing in the world, remains a major consumer of methionine. For instance, as per industry reports, as of 2024, India is one of the world’s leading producers of eggs and broiler chicken, generating more than 140 billion eggs and around 4.5 million tonnes of broiler meat each year. As production scales up, particularly in broiler and layer segments, demand for consistent and efficient feed inputs has intensified. Methionine is essential for feather development, muscle growth, and egg production, making it a cornerstone of poultry nutrition programs. Increased vertical integration among poultry enterprises has resulted in more standardized feeding practices, thereby boosting methionine usage. Urban consumption patterns are shifting toward high-protein diets, leading to rising demand for poultry products in both retail and foodservice sectors. This consumption pressure is pushing producers to adopt precise nutritional strategies where methionine plays a fundamental role in maximizing productivity and meeting market expectations.
