Zinc methionine is the zinc salt of methionine, is chelated by methionine and zinc, is a novel feed additive, and can be used as a supplement of trace element zinc in animal bodies. In addition, chelated zinc is basically a zinc supplement that is primarily used for treating zinc deficiency in animals and humans. Chelated minerals consist of organic minerals, water-soluble products which is why they are easily absorbed. The various functions of zinc methionine chelate in animals are to boost immunity, skin and hoof integrity, muscle development, milk production, reproduction.

ZINC METHIONINE CHELATES MARKET: REPORT SCOPE & SEGMENTATION

Global Zinc Methionine Chelates Market Drivers:

• Rising consumer awareness regarding the nutritional requirements and deficiencies in animals

The main raw materials used in the manufacture of chelates are trace minerals such as zinc and amino acids. +Zinc is a common mineral found in animal feed. It aids in protein synthesis and is essential in improving the characteristics of defensive enzymes. Additionally, growing consumer awareness of food safety and quality escalates the need for healthier and safer animal feed formulations. According to the National Institute of Health, chelated trace minerals (CTM) in livestock nutrition is an expanding research area with a focus on the health and quality of animal products. Thus, driving demand for the global zinc methionine chelates market.

Opportunities:

• Rising popularity of functional beverages and foods

The rising popularity of zinc methionine chelates in functional beverages and foods. Increasing use of zinc methionine chelates in the food and beverage industry. Chelation is the process of attaching minerals like zinc to organic compounds like amino acids like methionine. This technique can improve the mineral's bioavailability, making it easier for the body to absorb and utilize. Furthermore, Zinc is an essential micronutrient and is widely used in animal diet foods. This increasing popularity and demand affect the growth of the global market in over forecast period.

Restraints:

• High cost of zinc methionine chelates

The increasing cost of zinc methionine chelates is due to the increasing cost of the raw material and production cost. The high cost associated with chelated mineral supplements compared to inorganic zinc sources. In addition, manufacturing and transportation of the zinc methionine chelate expensive than the others. Furthermore, chelated minerals are created through a chelation process in which the mineral, in this case zinc, is bonded to an organic molecule such as methionine. These factors affecting the growth of the global market.

Segment Overview

By Product Type

Based on product type, the global zinc methionine chelates market is divided into powder, granules, tablets, and others. The powder segment dominated the market in 2022 and is expected to dominate during the zinc methionine chelates market in the forecast period, due to the ease of handling and dosing of powders in comparison to other forms is the primary driver of this segment's global sales growth.
