(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, March 08, 2016 ) The animal husbandry industry is expanding in the developing countries of Asia Pacific, leading to higher consumption of feed. Betaine is increasingly gaining popularity in the European market, after the approval of its use in feed, food and beverage by the regulatory bodies. The demand for betaine is also growing in the Rest of the World as the betaine market in countries such as Brazil and Argentina are growing at a fast rate.
Betaine is a positively charged chemical compound belonging to the cationic functional group such as quaternary ammonium or phosphonium cation. Betaine is widely consumed in personal care products, food and feed. It is a nutrient containing vitamin, obtained either synthetically or from sugar beet syrups which contribute towards a healthy metabolism while improving physical performance, particularly strength, power and muscle endurance. Besides food and beverages, betaine shares a significant market share in cosmetic and toiletries owing to water-holding and moisturizing properties.
Betaine is widely consumed in the feed industry and it serves as a methyl donor for the purpose of improving metabolism in animals. Betaines occur naturally and serve as biological osmolytes substances, which are taken up from the environment for protection against osmotic stress, high salinity, high temperature and drought. Betaines occur in synthetic form and are used in an extensive range of applications such as cosmetics, detergents, dietary supplements and feeds. Some of the major application industries of betaine include industrial, pharmaceuticals and food.
For better understanding of the global betaine market, the overall market can be bifurcated on the bases of type and application. On the basis of type, the global betaine market is categorized into natural and synthesis betaine. Based on applications, the global betaine market can be classified as food and beverage, feed and industrial applications and others (reagents, de-icers, cosmetics, detergents and many more).
One common trend in the global betaine market is the increased application of betaine as anti-stress agent in animals. Rising demand for betaine in the food, feed and beverages industries is driving the growth of betaine market. The betaine market is anticipated to increase with a rise in awareness about the nutritional value of the product when utilized in multi-functional usage as well as in dietary supplement, such as methyl donor and surfactant. The increase in the popularity of energy and sports drinks in which betaine is used has further extended the scope for the market. The emerging markets with increasing demand for betaine are estimated to create potential opportunities in the betaine market in near future.
Further, betaine is being increasingly implemented as a feed nutrient in feed as well as pet diets; uncertainty regarding excess consumption of betaine is a major hindrance in the growth of betaine market. However, saturated market conditions for betaine in developed regions such as Europe are also expected to hamper the growth of the market. Associated British Foods plc, American Crystal Sugar Company, AMINO GmbH, BASF SE, Kao Corporation, Nutreco N.V., Solvay, Stepan Company, Sunwin Stevia International, Inc., and DuPont are some of the key competitors in the global betaine market.
