The global market for Feed Grade Valine was estimated to be worth US$ 126 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 190 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
This report provides a comprehensive assessment of recent tariff adjustments and international strategic countermeasures on Feed Grade Valine cross-border industrial footprints, capital allocation patterns, regional economic interdependencies, and supply chain reconfigurations.
Valine is one of 8 kinds of essential amino acid. It works with other two kinds of high concentration amino acid (isoleucine and leucine) to improve body normal growth, repair tissue, regulate blood glucose and provide with required energy. Feed grade valine is mainly used in the feed industry as the additives of animal nutrition.
Feed-grade L-Valine remains an essential limiting amino acid in modern feed formulations, with global demand continuing to rise, especially under the push for low-protein diets and sustainability policies. Chinese companies are expanding capacity and advancing technologies, yet face challenges such as price wars, raw material volatility, and stricter environmental regulations. In the medium to long term, product differentiation, technological advancement, and green synthesis routes will define core competitiveness in the industry.
The feed-grade L-Valine market is highly concentrated. Major global players include:
Evonik (Germany): Global leader with mature technology and worldwide presence.
Ajinomoto (Japan): Specializes in amino acid fermentation with strong influence in Asia.
CJ CheilJedang (South Korea): Large bio-synthesis enterprise with cost and technology advantages.
Meihua Group (China): One of the largest producer in China, leveraging a large-scale amino acid fermentation platform.
Fufeng Group (China): A key domestic producer, continuously expanding production capacity.
Future Prospects:
Low-Protein Diet Adoption: Environmental regulations in Europe, the US, and China promote low-protein, amino-acid-balanced diets, driving Valine demand growth.
Rising Aquaculture Applications: Specialty aquaculture species like shrimp and eel require more essential amino acids, boosting Valine use.
Emerging Market Expansion: Rapid growth of livestock industries in South Asia and parts of Africa increases amino acid demand.
Technological Cost Reduction: New fermentation technologies using enzyme engineering and strain improvement are expected to significantly reduce Valine production costs, enhancing competitiveness.
Market Challenges:
Raw Material & Energy Price Volatility: Fluctuations in sugar and nitrogen source costs directly impact Valine production expenses.
High Technical Barriers: Complex strain development and fermentation process control deter new entrants.
Price War Risks: Frequent price wars among major Chinese producers disrupt global price stability.
Substitution Risk: In certain markets (e.g., poultry), Valine can be partially substituted by other BCAAs such as Leucine and Isoleucine, posing demand risk.
Stricter Environmental Regulations: Increasing requirements on fermentation wastewater and emissions management raise environmental compliance costs.
