The global proline market size was USD 297.7 million in 2022 and is projected to touch USD 469.78 million by 2031, at a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with proline experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels.

Proline, a kind of amino acid, is one of the eighteen amino acids. It is utilized in the synthesis of protein in the human body. Proline has many uses including scientific research and medical hygiene. Proline and its derivatives are frequently utilized as asymmetric catalysts in chemical processes.  The common subtypes of proline are D-proline and L-proline. L-proline, a crucial amino acid found in cartilage, is necessary for repairing muscle, connective tissue, and skin injury as well as for maintaining healthy skin. Additionally, it is essential for the immune system and the formula's equilibrium. Hence L-proline sustains a significant share in the proline market.

The rising use of feed additives that contain a proportionate amount of well-known amino acids, including lysine, methionine, and threonine, to enhance animal performance is a significant factor in the growth of the proline market size. It is also projected that increased demand for premium meat and meat products will support the proline business in the feed sector. Proline is employed in medicine as a stabilizer to extend the shelf life of some prescription drugs. Since proline is gaining popularity all around the world, the proline market share is expected to experience significant growth.

COVID-19 Impact: Halt of Operations to Impede Market Growth

The sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic had a huge impact on the import and export activity in the market due to the unexpected shutdowns. Proline faced a huge decline owing to the escalating and worsening COVID-19 situation. Cancellation or postponement of sports tournaments as a result of a lockdowns caused a major disruption in the proline market. However, the market is expected to recover in the post-pandemic period. Proline production is predicted to have massive growth in the forthcoming years. Demand for health supplements in the region of North America and Europe will augment the proline market share. Improved technologies in proline production will help meet the growing demand and engage new customers through innovative products.

LATEST TRENDS

"Increased Uptake of Health Supplements among Athletes to Create Promising Opportunities"

There are numerous applications of proline, including health supplements, which have emerged as a prominent area of application. One of the most important benefits of taking L-proline supplements is the assistance it provides for joint and skin health. It might also help with muscle development and injury healing. Athletes who experience proline level declines from the extended activity are supported by proline; an upsurge in proline supplements has been observed in recent years. It speeds up the process of recovery from the injury. Additionally, it is crucial for the immune system and the formula's equilibrium. Growing participation in professional sports events will boost proline consumption among athletes.
