Betaine Anhydrous is the crystalline, water-free form of trimethylglycine, an osmolyte and methyl donor, obtained from sugar beet molasses by chromatographic separation or made synthetically from trimethylamine and monochloroacetic acid. It is used as a feed additive for poultry, swine, and fish, in sports nutrition and dietary supplements, in cosmetics and personal care as a mild moisturizer and surfactant, and in food. Because beet molasses or trimethylamine and monochloroacetic acid are its inputs, this market follows sugar beet crop and campaign volumes, chemical feedstock costs, and feed demand. Beet molasses, trimethylamine, and monochloroacetic acid costs, animal feed and aquaculture demand, and cosmetic and supplement demand are what drive prices in this market.
