味精 (MSG) 市場機會、成長動力、產業趨勢分析及 2025 - 2034 年預測

2024 年全球谷氨酸鈉 (MSG) 市值為 54 億美元，預計到 2034 年將以 5.7% 的複合年成長率成長至 95 億美元。

味精（MSG）是一種源自谷氨酸的鈉鹽，因其能夠呈現鮮味且不會掩蓋其他食材的風味，一直是食品業首選的增味劑。隨著城市生活方式的改變以及對快速、美味和便捷食品需求的激增，味精的使用範圍已遠遠超出其傳統市場。隨著快餐、簡便食品和大量生產的食品佔據食品貨​​架，味精在保持口味一致性方面發揮著至關重要的作用。越來越多的全球消費者開始接受味精，關於其健康影響的迷思逐漸被科學依據的保證所取代。多元文化烹飪趨勢的興起，加上對經濟實惠且風味濃郁的食材的需求，進一步加速了對味精的需求。零食、調味料和即食食品等加工食品類別是主要的成長動力，同時，餐飲服務業也越來越依賴味精來大規模提升價格實惠的增味產品。

2024年，味精粉市場佔有63.8%的市佔率。其細膩的質地和極佳的溶解性使其成為混合到各種食品中的理想選擇。無論是用於湯品、調味料還是零食，味精粉都能確保風味的均勻分佈，這對於大規模食品生產至關重要。味精粉在不同食品領域的適應性使其繼續受到以工業和商業終端用戶為目標的生產商的青睞。

2024年，麵條、湯類和肉湯市場產值達到17億美元，這得益於味精在這些主食加工食品中的廣泛使用。城市消費者越來越青睞方便快速的即食食品，這些食品只需極少的準備，且不會犧牲口感。味精以經濟實惠且可靠的方式提升了風味，滿足了這項需求。隨著食品製造商在速食和即食食品領域不斷創新，味精仍然是提供熟悉而令人滿意的口味不可或缺的成分。

由於加工食品和易烹調食品的消費量不斷成長，美國味精 (MSG) 市場規模在 2024 年達到 23 億美元。消費者對方便且不影響口感的餐點的需求推動了味精的廣泛應用。美國農業部 (USDA) 和美國食品藥物管理局 (FDA) 等監管機構透過強調食品安全和清潔標籤計劃，促使製造商在滿足口味預期的同時，專注於生產透明度。隨著人們對全球美食和健康美味飲食的日益關注，味精在不斷發展的美國食品格局中佔據了突出地位。

全球味精 (MSG) 市場的主要參與者包括味之素株式會社、阜豐集團、Great American Spice Company、菱花集團、味丹國際（控股）有限公司、梅花控股Group Limited、寧夏伊本生物科技有限公司、Prinova、Arshine Food Additives 和 Foodchem International。為了鞏固其市場地位，味精產業的公司正在實施多方面的策略。許多公司正在投資先進的發酵技術和清潔標籤生產方法，以迎合監管變化和不斷變化的消費者偏好。擴大區域生產能力有助於製造商降低物流成本，同時提高供應可靠性。領先的企業也在加強分銷網路，並與大型食品加工商建立長期供應合作夥伴關係。同時，企業正在創新具有清潔標籤吸引力的產品配方，包括天然發酵味精。

The Global Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) Market was valued at USD 5.4 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.7% to reach USD 9.5 billion by 2034.

MSG, a sodium salt derived from glutamic acid, continues to be a preferred flavor enhancer across the food industry due to its ability to deliver the umami taste without overpowering other ingredients. Its usage has expanded well beyond its traditional markets as changing urban lifestyles and the surge in demand for fast, flavorful, and convenient food options fuel growth. As quick-serve meals, instant food, and mass-produced items dominate food shelves, MSG plays a vital role in maintaining consistent taste. A more informed and global consumer base has begun to embrace MSG, with myths about its health impact gradually being replaced by science-backed reassurance. The rise in multicultural culinary trends, coupled with the need for cost-effective ingredients that deliver bold flavor, further accelerates demand. Processed food categories such as snacks, seasoning blends, and ready meals are major growth drivers, along with the increasing dependence on MSG by the food service sector for affordable flavor enhancement at scale.

The powdered MSG segment held a 63.8% share in 2024. Its fine texture and solubility make it ideal for blending into a variety of food products. Whether in soups, seasonings, or snacks, powdered MSG ensures consistent flavor distribution, which is crucial for large-scale food manufacturing. Its adaptability across different food applications continues to drive its preference among producers targeting both industrial and commercial end users.

The noodles, soups, and broth segment generated USD 1.7 billion in 2024, supported by the widespread use of MSG in these staple processed foods. Urban consumers increasingly gravitate toward convenient, ready-to-eat meals that require minimal preparation without sacrificing taste. MSG meets this demand by enhancing savory profiles in an affordable and reliable way. As food manufacturers continuously innovate within the fast food and instant meals segment, MSG remains an indispensable component for delivering a familiar and satisfying taste.

United States Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) Market was valued at USD 2.3 billion in 2024 due to rising consumption of processed and easy-to-prepare foods. Consumer demand for convenient meals that don't compromise on taste is driving widespread MSG adoption. Regulatory agencies such as the USDA and FDA, through their emphasis on food safety and clean-label initiatives, have prompted manufacturers to focus on production transparency while still meeting flavor expectations. With growing interest in global cuisines and health-conscious yet flavorful eating, MSG has secured a prominent place in the evolving American food landscape.

Key players in the Global Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) Market include Ajinomoto Co., Inc., Fufeng Group, Great American Spice Company, Linghua Group, Vedan International (Holdings) Limited, Meihua Holdings Group Co., Ltd., Ningxia Eppen Biotech Co., Ltd., Prinova, Arshine Food Additives, and Foodchem International. To solidify their market presence, companies within the MSG industry are implementing multi-faceted strategies. Many are investing in advanced fermentation technologies and clean-label production methods to cater to regulatory shifts and evolving consumer preferences. Expanding regional production capabilities helps manufacturers reduce logistics costs while enhancing supply reliability. Leading players are also strengthening distribution networks and entering long-term supply partnerships with large food processors. In parallel, firms are innovating product formulations that offer clean-label appeal, including naturally fermented MSG.
