Transparency Market Research in its new report titled, “Cysteine Market – Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2018 – 2026,” provides key insights on the cysteine market. The new report anticipates that the rise in the demand in pharmaceutical and food industries will drive the cysteine market during the forecast period i.e, 2018-2026. L-cysteine can break disulfide bridges in peptides and proteins and act as radical scavenger. It can be used as reducing agent. Therefore, demand for cysteine is expected to increase significantly during the forecast period, says the report.
The TMR report has segregated the cysteine market on the basis of method used for production, end-use industry, and geography. In accordance with the method used for production, the cysteine market is classified into traditional method and biotechnology based method. L-cysteine is traditionally produced from animal products such as feathers or hairs. With the new biotechnological method developed by Wacker Chemie AG, Escherichia coli, Bacteria were modified, first, to produce far more L-cysteine than they need for themselves by selective biomolecular intervention in the metabolism of the bacteria, and, second, to excrete the synthesized L-cysteine into the nutrient broth.
Based on end-use industry, the cysteine market is bifurcated into food & dietary supplement industry, cosmetic industry, and pharmaceutical industry. In the food industry segment, L-cysteine is used as an intermediate for process flavorings. It is primarily used in meat flavorings and roast aromas. L-cysteine is also added to various types of dough during processing to break down the gluten in order to make dough easier to knead and process. Cysteine is mainly used in the production of cysteine derivatives N-acetyl-L-cysteine and S-(carboxymethyl)-L-cysteine in the pharmaceutical industry. L-cysteine is also employed as processing auxiliary for refolding genetically engineered protein active molecules. For instance, it is used in the production of human insulin. L-cysteine is used as anti-aging agent in the cosmetic industry.
Based on regional perspective, the cysteine market is divided into Asia Pacific, Europe, North America, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. Among these, Europe, North America, and Asia Pacific are the major regions of the cysteine market. Asia Pacific is expected to emerge as the leading region of the cysteine market during the forecast period. Latin America exhibits significant potential for the cysteine market. The market in Middle East & Africa is anticipated to expand substantially with the innovation in the use of cysteine. Prominent players operating in the cysteine market are profiled in this report to give a better competitive analysis and these include Wacker Chemie AG, Ajinomoto Pte.Ltd, Wuxi Bikang Bioengineering Co., Ltd., Donboo Amino Acid Co. Ltd, and Merck KGaA.
