The US amino acid market witnessed stable price recovery in September 2025, reflecting signs of renewed industry robustness. Improved supply-demand equilibrium, changing consumer patterns, and favorable macroeconomic drivers drove the recovery. After stabilizing at the start of the year, a tightening supplies situation for amino acid and firm demand from animal nutrition, pharmaceuticals, and food processing drove price rises. Supply relaxed as raw material availability returned to normal from previous disruptions despite holding tightness to ensure price stability. Demand picked up due to boosted livestock production, sustainable agriculture, and enhanced consumption of amino acid as ingredients in supplements. Macro stability with stable inflation and rising disposable incomes facilitated consumer expenditures on protein-infused products. Future prices will continue to increase over the course of late 2025 and early 2026, driven by the forces of alternative proteins, regulatory nutrient management, and gains in production. Geopolitical risk and consistent export demand also benefit from the competitive position of the US market.
