Abstracts

Amino acid industry hot topics in 2014:

• Manufacturers of lysine and threonine have cut production since late 2013, and resulted in rebounds in prices of the two products in mid-2014.
• Capacity of tryptophan in China went through contrarian increase in 2014.
• China and Southeast Asia will turn to be another main producing area of methionine following the introduction of many new methionine projects. This will greatly improve the unbalance supply pattern of global methionine.

Purpose of report:

In this report, price trend of four feed-amino acids in China have been analyzed in detail, in order to describe the current profitability of Chinese feed-use amino acids and make a prospect.

What to report:

In this report, price trend of China's feed-use amino acids since 2013 have been analyzed exhaustively from the following aspects:

• Price trend in markets of raw materials, Jan. 2013-Sept. 2014;
• Dynamics on the production and supply of feed-use amino acids in China, 2013-2014;
• Development of downstream fields, 2013-Sept. 2014;
• Influence from feed structure, 2013-Sept. 2014;
• Prospect based on the above factors;

Forecasts:

• Supply situation will remain the dominant factor affecting the price of feed-use amino acids in China, while recovery in demand will not provide sufficient support for the price in near future.
• Overcapacity remains in China's lysine, threonine, and tryptophan, producers may continue to control their production and supply in order to maintain profitable prices;
• Market price of methionine will decline as the shortage in China will vanish following the increase supply.
