Glycine Market Segmented Tech Grade, Food and Feed Grade, Pharma Grade Used in Chemical, Food and Feed, Pharmaceutical
Glycine is widely used as a nutritional supplement in animal feed as it regulates all metabolic processes. Increasing meat consumption at a global level and high production of livestock such as swine, broiler, and cattle will account for an upsurge in demand for animal feed additives.
Growing meat export across the globe clearly indicates a steep rise in consumption of glycine over the following years. North America holds around a third of the global glycine market value, which is attributed to meat that accounts for nearly 60% of the overall protein consumption in the U.S.

Glycine is used as feedstock for production of glyphosate, thus, any changes in demand for glyphosate has a strong and direct effect on the glycine market. Demand for glyphosate is estimated to remain high during the assessment period, owing to growing adoption of herbicide-tolerant (HT) and genetically-modified (GM) crops.
Increasing demand for less tillage as well as no-tillage farming systems is expected to positively influence demand for glyphosate. Glyphosate increases per-hectare yield, in turn, positively impacting farming profitability. Increased emphasis on improving crop yield, growing demand for crop protection solutions in agriculture, and preference towards sophisticated farming practices are other factors impacting demand for glyphosate and consequently, the glycine market.
In the pharmaceuticals industry, glycine is used as a component of amino acid mixtures for oral and parenteral use. It is used as a re-absorbable amino acid for treatment of diarrhea and animal scours. Glycine is a versatile intermediate used in chemical synthesis of pharmacologically-active compounds.
It has antimicrobial preservative properties and has been shown to stabilize vitamin C. Certain pharmaceutical-grade products include glycine to improve gastric absorption of the drug. Other uses include sweetener, emollient, emulsifier, solubilizing agent, stabilizer, and buffer substance in various applications. Therefore, growing pharmaceutical industry is estimated to boost the demand for glycine.
