Gamma Polyglutamic Acid Market

Gamma Polyglutamic Acid Market – Size, Share,
Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2018–2025
Polyglutamic acid is a bipolymer of the amino acid glutamic acid. In gamma
polyglutamic acid, peptide bonds are between amino group of glutamic acid and the
carboxyl group at the end of the glutamic acid side chain. It is formed by bacterial
fermentation by Bacillus subtilis using glutamic acid and is a major constituent of the
Japanese food, natto. Gamma polyglutamic acid has wide range of applications from
food, medicine to water treatment. It has non-toxic, edible, film-forming, adhesive,
and moisture retention properties and can be used as drug carrier and bio-adhesive
material. Gamma polyglutamic acid has been widely used in pharmaceutical,
cosmetics, food, agriculture, and sewage treatment industries.

Gamma polyglutamic acid is used in agriculture industry for increasing quality and
quantity of plants, for soil improvement, and seed-coat, and to enhance fertilizer
utilization. It can be made into hydrogel, which has an excellent water-binding ability,
and can absorb water up to 3,500 times of its weight. Hence, it proves itself as
excellent for agricultural and environmental applications.
Good water solubility, strong water retention, smooth to skin, and non-greasy
properties of gamma polyglutamic acid make it appropriate for application in the
cosmetics industry. It is used in hygiene products such as baby diapers and
women’s tampons as an absorbent.
Such multiple applications of gamma polyglutamic acid are expected to aid in growth
of the gamma polyglutamic acid market size across the globe.
Market Dynamics
Major driver for gamma polyglutamic acid market growth is high demand from the
pharmaceutical industries. This is increasingly being used as a drug delivery system
in cancer treatment. The research is underway for its application in a treatment of
type I diabetes and its potential use in the production of an AIDS vaccine. Gamma
polyglutamic acid vectors are useful for effective and safe gene therapy. It facilitates
calcium absorption and hence, is useful in osteoporosis cases. It is also used as
drug release carrier and hemostatic agent. Such factors are creating conductive
environment for growth of the market.
Favorable growth of the pharmaceutical industry is projected to aid in growth of the
gamma polyglutamic acid market. According to Hardman and Co., in 2016, global
pharmaceuticals market was valued at US$ 816 billion. Rising demand for medicines
and investments of companies in research and development to invent new drugs are
expected to drive growth of the global demand of gamma polyglutamic acid.
Gamma polyglutamic acid is a natural product with longer moisture retention
properties and maintains skin elasticity for more time. These products include Bio
PGA, PGA Dual Moist, Twainmoist. Skin whitening, anti-wrinkle properties, and
inhibition to melanin production are some of the characteristics of gamma
polyglutamic acid fueling its demand for application in the cosmetics sector.
Market Outlook
According to Coherent Market Insights (CMI) for global gamma polyglutamic acid
market analysis, North America held the dominant position in the market in 2017 and
it is projected to maintain its dominance throughout the forecast period. This is owing
to higher presence of key cosmetics and drug manufacturers in the region such as
Abbott, Pfizer, Revlon, Estée Lauder .
Gamma polyglutamic acid is witnessing high application in wastewater treatment and
in food products. This is due to its properties such as heavy metal absorbent,
chelating, and flocculation. Therefore, it is widely used in wastewater treatment. It is
also used as a diet fiber in health food supplement, a thickener or stabilizer in food
product as well as an animal feed supplement. Furthermore, polyglutamic acid has
flavor enhancing characteristics on potassium salt and is therefore used in making
low-sodium food products
Key players in Global Gamma Polyglutamic Acid Market
Key players operating in the global gamma polyglutamic acid are Ajinomoto Co.,
Inc., Meiji Seika Pharma Co. Ltd, VEDAN International (Holdings) Limited, Shandong
Freda Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Nanjing Sai Taisi Biotechnology Co., Ltd., and
Shineking Biological.
Key players in the marketing are focusing on launching new products, in order to
