China and India are the leading exporters of L-Alanine, collectively accounting for the majority of global shipments, while the United States, Germany, and Japan represent the largest importers. These importing nations consistently absorb significant volumes, driven by demand from pharmaceutical, food, and feed additive sectors. Recent trade data indicates stable export volumes from Asia alongside modest upward pressure on L-Alanine prices amid tightening supply chain efficiencies and rising raw material costs.
L-Alanine (CAS 56-41-7) is a white, crystalline solid at room temperature, odorless, non-volatile, and highly soluble in water; it has a melting point of approximately 297 °C (with decomposition). It is an α-amino acid and the L-enantiomer of alanine, classified as a chiral organic chemical and natural proteinogenic amino acid. Industrially, L-alanine serves primarily as a building block in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals—including antibiotics, antihypertensives, and parenteral nutrition formulations—and as a key intermediate in the production of peptides, specialty peptides, and agrochemicals such as herbicidal amino acid derivatives. It is also used in food and feed additives, cosmetics, and as a buffering or pH-stabilizing agent in biochemical reagents.
Alanine is an amino acid that can act as a skin-conditioning agent. It is usually used in combination with other amino acids.
