글루탐산나트륨 시장 기회, 성장 촉진요인, 산업 동향 분석, 예측(2025-2034년)

The Global Monosodium Glutamate Market reached USD 5.4 billion in 2024 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.7% between 2025 and 2034. Widely recognized for its ability to enhance flavor, MSG is a vital ingredient in the food industry, delivering the savory umami taste that elevates a wide variety of dishes. As consumer preferences shift toward quick, flavorful, and convenient food options, the demand for MSG continues to expand. Its versatility across diverse applications, from packaged foods to restaurant dishes, further drives its prominence.

The market is also benefiting from innovations in food technology, which have streamlined the incorporation of MSG into production processes, ensuring consistent quality and flavor. However, evolving consumer interest in clean-label and natural products is pushing manufacturers to explore innovative MSG formulations that balance flavor enhancement with transparency, catering to modern dietary trends.

The powdered form of MSG is expected to reach USD 5.5 billion by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 5.4% during the forecast period. Its popularity stems from its exceptional ease of use, rapid dissolution, and compatibility with automated manufacturing processes. Powdered MSG seamlessly integrates into applications such as seasonings, snacks, and ready-to-eat meals, offering consistent flavor distribution and improved operational efficiency. This form's fine texture ensures its broad appeal, particularly among foodservice operators and packaged food manufacturers aiming for both quality and convenience in their products.

In application terms, MSG's role in noodles, soups, and broths remains unmatched. This segment captured a 35.1% market share in 2024, valued at USD 1.9 billion. As these products grow in popularity for their savory, comforting flavors and convenience, MSG continues to enhance their appeal. Its ability to intensify umami flavors ensures that consumers enjoy satisfying taste profiles without compromising on preparation time, making it an essential ingredient in this segment.

In the United States, the MSG market is projected to hit USD 4.1 billion by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 4.9%. This growth is fueled by the rising preference for processed and convenience foods among American consumers, driven by fast-paced lifestyles. MSG's ability to improve flavor and quality has solidified its position as a key ingredient in the country's food industry. At the same time, the clean-label movement has prompted manufacturers to innovate, exploring healthier formulations that combine MSG with other natural flavor enhancers to meet evolving consumer demands for more transparent and natural ingredient lists.
