Astaxanthin Development Market Research (China)
The astaxanthrin industry in China is still at the beginning in China in 2005 and the commercial production started only 2 years before. We have found that only 2 producers are active and 2 have stopped the production. For some reasons, a lot of companies gave up their astaxanthrin projects in recent years.There are 3 potential producers:
- Zhejiang NHU Co., Ltd.;
- Zhejiang Hisun Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.
- Hubei Guangji Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.
The research of astaxanthrin is active in China, since its beginning in 2003.A profound review of technology research development from 1993~2004 is presented by years. The main active research institutes including:
- Zhongsan University (Guangzhou);
- South China University of Technology;
- Zhejiang Universtiy of Technology;
- Jiangnan University;
The current research on astaxanthrin mainly focuses on three areas:
- Cultivation of Haematococcus plusvialis;
- Strain screening for Phaffia Rhodozyma fermentation;
- Parameters for fermentation of Phaffia Rhodozyma;
