Arginine Market: Regional Analysis

On the basis of region, the global arginine market is segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa.

North America is projected to account for the largest share in the arginine market due to new product launches in the U.S. For instance, Pfanstiehl, Inc., a U.S.-based company, in September 2018, launched a new high-purity, low-endotoxin, and low-metal, L-Arginine, which meets the U.S. Pharmacopoeia (USP), European Pharmacopoeia (EP), Japan Pharmacopoeia (JP), and Chinese Pharmacopoeia (ChP) standards. This is the first amino acid that Pfanstiehl, Inc. launched and manufactured in the U.S. under strict current good manufacturing practice (cGMP) and International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Q7 compliant conditions.

Asia Pacific region is also expected to witness significant growth in the arginine market, owing to expansions of key players for the production of arginine formulations. For instance, in April 2018, CJ CheilJedang, a China-based firm, announced to expand its L-Arginine and L-Citrulline production at its Jombang plant in Indonesia, which will be effective from 2019. By this expansion, the company also plans to manufacture its product, L-Citrulline (precursor of Arginine in body), simultaneously in both China and Indonesia.
