Market updates The global market for amino acids is forecast to reach $11.6 billion by the year 2015, according to a new report from Global Industry Analysts, Inc. Growing demand for amino acids in various end-use markets, including animal feed, health foods, dietary supplements, artificial sweeteners and cosmetics is expected to fuel market growth in the coming years. Further, increased emphasis on specific benefits of amino acids, rather than focusing on overall wellness, is expected to open up new avenues for the market. The research company also announces the release of a comprehensive global report on Probiotics market. Global probiotics market, still in its infancy stage, is forecast to cross US$28.8 billion revenues by 2015. The market is set to witness impressive growth as consumers become more conscious about their health and switch to preventive healthcare due to rising healthcare cost.
