The market demand for sucralose continues to grow, and the production is increasing year by year
2023/10/23
With the demand of consumers for a more comfortable and environmentally friendly living environment, the sucralose industry is increasingly receiving attention. In recent years, the sucralose industry has gradually broken through development barriers, achieved deep optimization and continuous enrichment in the industrial structure through technological transformation and innovation, and promoted the industry's development prospects and sustainable development. At the same time, facing many factors in the industry, the government is vigorously supporting and supporting the sucralose industry to promote its development.
Sucralose, commonly known as sucralose, is a high sweetener that can reach up to 600 times the sweetness of sucrose. China is a major producer of sucralose, and its production has maintained a stable growth trend. According to relevant data on the development status of the trichlorosucrose industry, from 2019 to 2021, China's trichlorosucrose production increased from 10310 tons to 13924 tons, with an annual compound growth rate of 16.2%. From January to August 2022, the production was 9783 tons, a year-on-year increase of 12.06%.
The structure of the sucralose industry is relatively concentrated, with domestic dominance. In foreign countries, according to relevant data on the development status of the trichlorosucrose industry, the only large-scale production enterprise of trichlorosucrose is Thales in the UK, with a production capacity of 3500 tons. Domestically, according to data, as of August 2022, China's effective production capacity of sucralose is approximately 17500 tons, occupying a leading position globally. Among them, Jinhe Industrial has a production capacity of 8000 tons/year, accounting for 45.7%, making it the industry leader; Shandong Kangbao and Kehong Biotech have production capacities of 4200 tons and 2000 tons, accounting for 24.0% and 11.4% respectively, ranking second and third.
Analysis of the Prospects of Sucralose Industry
Market demand growth: Sucralose shows an increasing demand for low sugar or sugar free foods and beverages as people's attention to health and nutrition increases. Due to its ability to provide sweetness without calories, sucralose is widely used in low sugar or sugar free products, and therefore its market demand is expected to continue to grow.
New product development: The sucralose industry can launch more types and application areas of products through innovation and research and development to meet the needs of different consumer groups. For example, customized products targeting children, pregnant women, or special groups, as well as application expansion in different food and beverage fields, can bring new opportunities to the industry.
International market expansion: With the development of the global economy and the popularization of consumer health awareness, the demand for low sugar or sugar free products in the international market is also increasing. Sucralose, as a commonly used sweetener, has the opportunity to expand its influence and export business in the international market.
Technological innovation and process improvement: With the progress of science and technology, the production technology of sucralose continues to improve, which may reduce production costs and improve production capacity and product quality. This will promote the development of the industry, increase competitiveness, and drive the expansion of market size.
Development background of sucralose industry
Discovery and research: Sucralose was first discovered in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Scientists' research on sweeteners led to the discovery of sucralose and began to delve into its properties and characteristics.
Marketing and promotion: In the early 1990s, sucralose began to enter the market and was approved as a food additive in some countries and regions. Due to its high sweetness intensity and zero calorie content, sucralose has attracted the attention of some food manufacturers and is used in low sugar or sugar free products.
Safety evaluation: The safety of sucralose has become an important issue for industry development. Relevant institutions have conducted a series of safety assessments and toxicological studies, and determined the standards and limits for their safe use.
Market competition: With the commercial production and widespread application of sucralose, market competition is becoming increasingly fierce. In addition to sucralose, other sweeteners such as saccharin and aspartame also compete with it, and the food industry makes choices based on product characteristics and its own needs.
Regulatory regulation: Each country has certain regulatory restrictions and regulations on the use of sucralose. The regulations and standards may vary in different countries and regions, and enterprises need to comply with local food safety regulations and standards.
Overall, with the increasing demand for low sugar or sugar free products and continuous technological innovation, the trichlorosucrose industry is expected to maintain a stable growth trend and have a relatively optimistic outlook. Enterprises can seize opportunities, adapt to market changes, implement effective marketing strategies and product innovation, in order to gain advantages in the fiercely competitive market.
