Production and Market of Sucralose in China - The Third Edition

After years of development and experiencing the famous 337 patent lawsuit, China has become one of the world's most important production countries of sucralose. In the past few years, China's sucralose production has been expanding rapidly attracted by the world's growing demand, which seems to be immune from the impact of global depression of economy. Many producers expanded their sucralose capacity and several new producers joint the production. What's more, the future expansion of sucralose production is estimated to be even faster than before. With expanding capacity and an increasing number of producers, competition in China's sucralose market is becoming increasingly intense. What has happed in the market? How is the current competition structure of sucralose in China? Who are the leading producers? How about the future expansion plans of sucralose in China? Along with the fast expansion of sucralose capacity, what is the future relationship between supply and demand in the sucralose market? Is overcapacity ineluctable in the future and how will producers deal with this situation? What kind of production technology is adopted in the production? How about the technical level and production cost? Which producers have their own sucralose production technologies?

With relatively low price and improving product quality, China's export volume of sucralose has been increasing rapidly in the past few years; China's sucralose industry depends heavily on the demand from overseas market, the volume to which accounts for near 80% of China's total sucralose output in 2011. Where are the export destinations of Chinese sucralose? Which country's demand for Chinese sucralose has been the fastest-growing in the past few years? How does China's export price of sucralose change?

Though the application of sucralose is not quite wide in China yet due to its respectively high price over other sweeteners and limited popularization done by producers, the consumption of sucralose grows fast in China attributed to developing downstream industries and people’s rising recognition of healthy low-sugar foods. How do sucralose's downstream industries develop in China? What is the current consumption pattern of sucralose in China? What is the consumption trend?

Besides the aspects mentioned above, what other changes in sucralose industry can be seen from 2010 to 2011? What will be the development trend of sucralose industry in China? You can find the answers in this report.
