Saudi Arabia Amino Acids Market

Saudi Arabia Amino Acids Market Overview:

The Saudi Arabia amino acids market size reached 110.0 Thousand Tons in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach 150.0 Thousand Tons by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.5% during 2025-2033. The market is driven by the rise in innovations in the Saudi Arabian livestock and poultry sector, increased health and wellness awareness among consumers, and heightened localization of drug manufacturing under the Vision 2030 diversification targets.

Saudi Arabia Amino Acids Market Trends:

Innovations in Livestock and Poultry Industry

A rise in innovations in the Saudi Arabian livestock and poultry sector is impelling the growth of the market. Amino acids like lysine, methionine, and threonine are critical ingredients in animal nutrition, especially in enhancing feed efficiency, supporting faster growth, and boosting immunity in livestock. With the growing governmental support for home-based agricultural independence and decreased dependency on foreign meat products, the nation is experiencing a lot of investment in indigenous animal husbandry. Consequently, the demand for premium feed additives, such as amino acids, is increasing drastically. Additionally, the shift toward intensive livestock production systems, with great dependence on maximized feed formulation, even further drives amino acid consumption. The Saudi Vision 2030 plan also focuses on economic diversification and enhanced food security, which has caused further improvements in the food and beverage (F&B) industry. For this reason, the gradual increase in poultry and livestock production has a direct relation to the higher consumption of amino acids throughout the kingdom. In 2025, Balady Poultry Trading Co. presented a 5-year plan for growth with an investment of 1.14 billion riyals. The company aims to construct a new slaughterhouse and processing unit and set up its own hatcheries.

Rising Demand for Nutraceuticals and Dietary Supplements

Increased health and wellness awareness among consumers is driving the demand for dietary supplements and nutraceuticals in Saudi Arabia, leading to a substantial increase in the amino acids market. Leucine, isoleucine, glutamine, and arginine are critical ingredients of most health supplements since they play a function in muscle repair, immune support, and general metabolism. Higher occurrences of lifestyle disorders such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease are also diverting the attention of consumers towards preventive medicine, where supplements based on amino acids are playing a significant role. Also, the increasing fitness and bodybuilding culture among youth is fueling demand for branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) due to their performance and muscle-building properties. The government-led initiatives to promote healthier lifestyles, are increasing the health and wellness applications for amino acids. The IMARC Group predicts that the Saudi Arabia health and wellness market size will reach USD 81,109.5 Million by 2033.

Improvements in Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Sector

Amino acids are used as precursors in the manufacturing of different drugs, such as parenteral nutrition solutions, agents for wound healing, and therapeutic agents for metabolic and neurological disorders. As the Kingdom seeks to localize drug manufacturing under its Vision 2030 diversification targets, investments in local drug factory facilities are rising. These involve both multination partnership-building and local capability-building. With the growth of the pharmaceutical industry, there is a growing need for high-purity amino acids, both as direct therapeutic products and as intermediate products for complicated synthesis processes. Furthermore, the increasing incidence of chronic illnesses is driving the demand for formulations containing amino acids in clinical nutrition and therapeutic formulations. Regulatory encouragement and tax incentives towards pharma investments are driving the need for amino acids. In 2024, the CPHI Middle East was opened at the Riyadh Exhibition and Convention Centre Malham. This event included an exhibition and conference to assist both local and global pharmaceutical firms in collaborating within one of the world's rapidly evolving and expanding pharmaceutical centers.
