The global BCAA market size was USD 256.2 million in 2022 and is projected to touch USD 349.14 million by 2031, at a CAGR of 3.5% during the forecast period.

The sudden spike in CAGR is attributable to demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

BCAA means branched-chain amino acids such as valine, leucine, and isoleucine. The human body can form many amino acids, but BCAA’s cannot be formed by the human body, making it an essential acid. These amino acids are used in protein synthesis, increasing muscle growth and promoting body recovery. All these acids build blocks of branched-chain amino acids supplements and proteins. It helps in the training and building muscles and is specifically applicable for athletes. 

BCAA is the aliphatic side chain of the amino acid and constitutes the protein molecules used to prepare various products rich in protein. It plays a significant role in managing obesity by oxidizing fatty acids. The compound’s metabolism looks after the brain's functionalities and maintains the immune systems. These amino acids are significantly essential for the human body as the human body requires muscle protein to maintain the body's muscles. At the same time, animals require more amino acids to look after peripheral tissues and skeletal muscles. 

COVID-19 Impact: Lower Product Supply Stagnated Growth During Lockdown

During the outbreak of COVID-19, the market witnessed an increase in the demand for the BCAA due to rising concern for health among the population. The amino acids cannot be prepared inside the human body, and thus it has to be consumed to enhance muscle growth in the human body. The manufacturing industries were shut during the pandemic, due to which the demand from the market could not be fulfilled. It resulted in the downfall of the market growth. The market growth stood still during the pandemic due to higher demand and no product supply. 

LATEST TRENDS

"Rising Health Concerns to Drive Market Trend "

Rising concern for health among the general population is expected to drive growth in the market. The general population is more inclined toward taking dietary supplements and living a healthy life which is anticipated to drive trends in the market.
