For instance, on Nov 21, 2022, Merck known as MSD outside the United States and Canada, and Imago BioSciences, Inc. announced that the companies have entered into a definitive agreement under which Merck, through a subsidiary, will acquire Imago for USD 36.00 per share in cash for an approximate total equity value of USD 1.35 billion. mago’s lead candidate, bomedemstat (IMG-7289), an investigational orally available lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) inhibitor, is currently being evaluated in multiple Phase 2 clinical trials for the treatment of essential thrombocythemia (ET), myelofibrosis (MF), and polycythemia vera (PV), in addition to other indications.

According to the report, technological advancements shape the global lysine market.

The global lysine market has seen rampant technological advancements that have changed the production processes, amplified the efficiency, and improved product quality. Lysine, a key amino acid used in animal feed and human nutrition, is primarily produced through fermentation or plant-based methods. Technological innovations have made lysine production more sustainable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly over the years. One of the most transformative developments has been the improvement of fermentation technologies. Traditionally, lysine production was based on chemical synthesis, which required vast amounts of raw materials and energy. Nowadays, genetically engineered microorganisms, such as bacteria and yeast strains, find their application in lysine manufacturing, improving yield and reducing resource consumption. Advances in metabolic engineering and synthetic biology have made fermentation more efficient, leading to higher yields and shorter production cycles.

Integration of automation and digitalization will enhance the production process

The rising production through automation and digitalization drives the market. With the coalescing of smart sensors, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning, lysine producers can now keep track and optimize the fermentation process in real-time. These technologies enable precise control over variables like temperature, pH levels, and nutrient supply, enhancing product consistency and reducing waste. Further, sustainable raw material sourcing is being enabled by advancements in biotechnology. Innovations in crop development, such as high-yield and disease-resistant plant varieties, are helping to ensure that raw materials like corn and wheat are more efficiently used in lysine production, reducing the environmental footprint.
