In emerging markets, where affordability is a significant consideration for consumers, MSG offers a cost-effective means of making dishes more flavorful.

There are rare cases of individuals who claim to be allergic to MSG, experiencing more severe allergic reactions. Efforts by health organizations and the food industry to educate consumers about the safe use of MSG and to distinguish between perceived health risks and scientifically supported information can help mitigate challenges to the market. The health hazards associated with monosodium glutamate challenge the market growth.
