The global GABA market size is predicted to grow from US$ 94.3 million in 2025 to US$ 137 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.4% from 2025 to 2031.
GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid), CAS 56-12-2, is a four carbon non-protein amino acid that is widely distributed in plants, animals and microorganisms. As a metabolic product of plants and microorganisms produced by the decarboxylation of glutamic acid, GABA functions as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain that directly affects the personality and the stress management. A wide range of traditional foods produced by microbial fermentation contain GABA, in which GABA is safe and eco-friendly, and also has the possibility of providing new health-benefited products enriched with GABA. Synthesis of GABA is catalyzed by glutamate decarboxylase, therefore, the optimal fermentation condition is mainly based on the biochemical properties of the enzyme. Major GABA producing microorganisms are lactic acid bacteria (LAB), which make food spoilage pathogens unable to grow and act as probiotics in the gastrointestinal tract.
Global GABA (CAS 56-12-2) key players include Pharma Foods International, Kyowa Hakko, Sekisui Chemical, Sino Biotek, Zhejiang Yiwan Bio, etc. Global top five manufacturers hold a share about 45%. China is the largest market, with a share about 90%, followed by Japan, have a share over 3 percent. In terms of Production, Microbial Fermentation (feed grade) is the largest segment, with a share over 77%. And in terms of Application, the largest application is Food, followed by Medicine, Plant Growth Promoter, etc.
