Monosodium Glutamate Market Growth

Rising Demand from the Food Processing Industry to Bolster the Global Monosodium Glutamate Industry

The growth of the monosodium glutamate market is majorly being driven by the growing demand emanating from the food processing industry. The demand for processed food has gained huge importance in the past few years due to the changing lifestyles of individuals, hectic work schedules, shifts in the taste and preferences of consumers, and increasing purchasing power. These factors are driving the fast and processed food industry extensively, thus, further propelling the growth of the monosodium glutamate industry.

Monosodium Glutamate Market Trends

The manufacturing of MSG shifting from the extraction method to the fermentation method is a key trend in monosodium glutamate market as this method is often used for giant-scale production while maintaining a coffee per-unit cost. Thus, this rise in the profit margin has significantly impacted the growth of the monosodium glutamate industry.

Recent Developments

As per the monosodium glutamate market dynamics and trends, researchers from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc ) announced that they have developed a safe method for the production of recombinant proteins such as vaccine antigens and insulin, among others, with the usage of monosodium glutamate (MSG) instead of methanol.

Industry Outlook

As per the monosodium glutamate industry analysis, monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a glutamic acid salt that has been gaining popularity as an alternative to salt due to its low sodium content and unique umami flavour. It has been found to be widespread in packaged products such as instant noodles, soups, and seasoning, among others.

As per the data published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 90% of Americans older than age 2 consume 3,400 mg of sodium daily on an average basis which is more than the recommended limit of 2,300 mg. This boosts the demand for monosodium glutamate (MSG) which has been granted a safe (GRAS) status by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as it contains only one-third of sodium compared to salt. As per the University of Virginia Health data, MSG has approximately 800 mg of sodium per teaspoon compared to 2,300 mg in a teaspoon of salt.

A 2023 review of studies on the correlation of MSG and headaches published in the Current Pain and Headache Reports journal stated that MSG does not induce headaches when consumed in a limited amount which is preferable for humans, which can further contribute to the growth of the monosodium glutamate industry.
