Gamma-Polyglutamic Acid Market to Reach USD 835.3 Million by 2032 | 7.4% CAGR Forecast

LOS ANGELES - Dec. 4, 2025 - PRLog -- According to the latest report by Ameco Research, the global Gamma-Polyglutamic Acid (γ-PGA) Market is poised for steady growth over the coming years. The market was valued at USD 442.3 million in 2023, and is forecast to reach USD 835.3 million by 2032, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4% between 2024 and 2032.

This expansion reflects increasing adoption of γ-PGA — a biodegradable, water-soluble, non-toxic biopolymer — across a variety of industries including cosmetics & personal care, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, water treatment, and other sustainable-materials applications.

About Gamma-Polyglutamic Acid

Gamma-Polyglutamic Acid is a naturally derived biopolymer synthesized by specific bacteria. Its unique properties — biodegradability, non-toxicity, high water solubility and excellent moisture-retention/film-forming characteristics — make it a versatile ingredient for eco-friendly and bio-based applications ranging from skin care and food additives to soil conditioners and wastewater treatment solutions.

Gamma-Polyglutamic Acid Market Outlook & Key Growth Drivers

Increasing global focus on sustainability, environment-friendly materials, and green chemistry is a primary driver for the γ-PGA market growth. As consumers and industries shift away from synthetic polymers toward biodegradable alternatives, demand for γ-PGA continues to rise across multiple end-user sectors.

In cosmetics and personal care, γ-PGA is increasingly used for its superior hydrating and skin-compatible properties — positioning it as a preferred ingredient in moisturizers, serums, cleansers and anti-aging formulations. Meanwhile, in agriculture, γ-PGA's ability to improve soil water retention and enhance fertilizer efficiency drives its adoption as a soil conditioner and crop yield enhancer.

Pharmaceutical and biotech sectors also contribute to growth, leveraging γ-PGA as a biocompatible carrier in drug delivery systems, tissue engineering, and other biomedical applications. Additionally, its potential in water treatment — for heavy-metal absorption, flocculation, and environmental remediation.
