Market perspective
Branched chain amino acids (BCAA)-leucine, isoleucine and valine are essential amino acids which are metabolized directly in muscles and offer energy fuel to performance of the work. There is lot of evidences supporting the positive effect of BCAA supplementation on muscle growth. The main importance is attached particularly to leucine.
Commercially, Classification of BCAA is usually based on the ratio of Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine. the most common type of BCAA is composed of Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine with ratio at 2:1:1. The 2:1:1 BCAA takes 87% share of global market. Others include 4:1:1, 8:1:1 etc. Application of BCAA can be broadly categized as Sports Nutrition, Pharmaceutical and Others. Sports Nutrition is the major application of BCAA, with market share of 93% in terms of consumption volume.
At present, the BCAA production market concentrates in USA, Europe, China, Japan. China is the largest production country of BCAA in the world in the past few years and it will keep the same position in the next few years. The China market took up about 34% the global market, followed by Japan (25%). In contrast to the production scenario, the consumption of BCAA is concentrated in USA and Europe, which combinedly takes market share of 57%.
