Monosodium Glutamate is a common food additive known for enhancing flavors in various food products since it contains glutamate, one of the most abundant naturally occurring amino acids. The main applications of MSG are in the food processing sector, where it finds usage across numerous categories such as processed foods, snacks, soups, canned vegetables, meats, poultry products, and instant noodles. The utilization of MSG is rising due to the growing popularity of Chinese and Japanese cuisines worldwide.

However, adverse health effects associated with overconsumption of monosodium glutamate and stringent government regulations for monosodium glutamate are limiting factors for the market. Furthermore, technological advancements in monosodium glutamate production technology and increasing focus on manufacturers’ rapid expansion of manufacturing facilities are creating lucrative opportunities for market growth.
