China and India are the leading exporters of (±)-Methionine, accounting for the majority of global export volume in recent years, while major importers include Vietnam, Mexico, and Brazil—reflecting strong demand from livestock and aquaculture feed sectors. Global (±)-Methionine prices have remained relatively stable amid steady export growth from Asia and consistent import demand across Latin America and Southeast Asia.
(±)-Methionine is a white to off-white crystalline powder with a faint, characteristic sulfurous odor; it is non-volatile, hygroscopic, and has a melting point of approximately 281 °C (with decomposition). It is a sulfur-containing α-amino acid and the racemic (DL) form of the naturally occurring L-enantiomer. Industrially, (±)-methionine serves primarily as a nutritional supplement in animal feed formulations to optimize protein synthesis and improve feed efficiency. It is also used as a chiral building block and intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, peptides, and specialty chemicals. Its principal application areas include animal nutrition, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and biochemical research reagents.
