What Are The Essential Drivers Behind The Growth Of The Monosodium Glutamate Market?
The growing popularity of processed food is expected to propel the growth of the monosodium glutamate (MSG) market. Processed food, altered from its natural state to enhance flavor or preservation, is increasingly favored due to convenience and changing dietary habits. MSG is commonly used in processed foods for its ability to enhance savory flavors. For example, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported that U.S. processed food exports reached $36.59 billion in 2023, marking a 1.7% increase from the previous year. As a result, the demand for processed food is driving the monosodium glutamate market.
