Manufacturers are focused on R&D activities to reduce the complexity in manufacturing techniques as well as product differentiation. Major manufacturers like Lonza, Ajinomoto, Sigma Tau Group, and Seikatsu have patented their manufacturing processes. Production of L-carnitine by chemical synthesis is executed on an industrial scale. However, manufacturers prefer bioprocess for the production, as the process generates higher yield and lesser waste as compared to chemical synthesis.
Companies engaged in the production and export of L-carnitine follow stringent standards such as current goods manufacturing procedure (CGMP), sanitary standard operation procedure (SSOP), and ISO standards. Companies offering food-grade product are required to obtain kosher and halal certifications.
In 2018, North America emerged as the largest regional market. The growth in this region can be attributed to increasing research and development activities in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries. Furthermore, increasing demand for pet supplements and animal feed formulations is expected to drive industry growth over the forecast period.
