Description
Great changes of China's sugar alcohol market takes place in recent years.
Currently, China's manufacturers of sugar alcohols who are suffering from high production cost gain nearly no profit due to rising cost of raw materials. As the price of main sugar alcohols' raw materials, corncob and cornstarch, has been soaring recently, especially the former, reaching USD109.81/t in May 2010 from USD46.85/t in 2008.
Sugar alcohols are usually used in food, pharmaceutical and daily-care products; about 70% of sugar alcohols are used in production of Vitamin C, toothpaste, brand&cake, candy, sugar-free chewing gum and parental solutions in 2009. There is a consumption uptrend of sugar alcohols in food products, especially healthcare foods. The market share by volume of sugar alcohols in food field grows from about 18% to 22%.
With the improving living standard in China, more and more people choose functional food that is processed by sugar alcohols, like sugar-free chewing gums, cakes&candies with low calories, etc. Therefore, the future of sugar alcohols is bright and infinite for that's an inevitable choice.
Besides the situation mentioned above, what other changes took place during 2005 to 2009What is the development trend of sugar alcohols' production and consumption in ChinaBased on these questions, we will tell you the details in this report.
