Increasing research into arginine as an adjuvant for the treatment of various disorders is projected to propel the arginine market forward. For example, research article published in the journal PLOS One in May 2015 revealed that arginine may affect multi-species oral biofilm production and may also break down dental plaque, potentially benefiting millions of people. Furthermore, new product development is projected to drive the arginine market forward. Product recalls for arginine medicine packaging are projected to stymie the Arginine Market's expansion.
