The sucralose industry is operating at a high level and the pace of green transformation and upgrading needs to be accelerated in the future.
Sucralose, also known as sucralose, is a high-intensity sweetener that appears as a white crystalline powder. It is easily soluble in water, methanol and ethanol, and slightly soluble in ether. It is odorless and 600 times sweeter than sucrose. . Sucralose has the characteristics of zero calorie value, pure sweetness, high sweetness, high safety, good stability, and good high temperature resistance. It can promote appetite, increase energy, and fight dental caries. It is widely used in food, beverages, It is widely used in dairy products, fermented foods, medicine, health products, feed and other fields. It is an ideal sweet substitute for people with diabetes or obesity.
As early as 1998, sucralose has been approved by the FDA and can be used as a general sweetener in the food field. It has no effect on the glucose concentration in the human blood and is acceptable to diabetic patients. At this stage, the scale of my country’s obesity group and the scale of diabetic patients are relatively large. In 2021, the scale of my country’s obesity group will exceed 300 million people, and the number of diabetic patients will reach 140 million. The huge potential consumer group will bring broad prospects for the development of the domestic sucralose industry. Requires space.
At the same time, in recent years, against the background of the continuous strengthening of national health awareness and the rising requirements for body management, the market size of low-sugar and sugar-free foods and beverages has continued to expand. As an important raw material for low- and sugar-free foods, sucralose has a growing market Demand continues to increase and production continues to increase. According to the released “Comprehensive Research on Market Status and Investment Prospects Forecast Report of China’s Sucralose Industry in 2022-2026”, domestic sales in 2021 Sucralose production reached 9.021 million tons.
Judging from the domestic sucralose price trend in 2021, since the third quarter of 2021, the shipment price of sucralose market has been rising, and the market has maintained a high prosperity trend. The main reasons for the increase in sucralose prices are: First, domestic sucralose will enter the “Two High” (high pollution and high energy consumption) catalog in 2021, and its production capacity will continue to decrease, and the market may be in short supply for a long period of time situation, which in turn leads to price increases; second, under the influence of the power restriction policy in 2021, the operating rate of sucralose is low and the market supply is relatively tight. Overall, the current domestic sucralose production capacity is tightening and the gap between supply and demand is widening. The industry will maintain a high operating trend in the future.
Industry analysis personnel said that sucralose is one of the mainstream products in the global sweetener market. At present, our country has become the global sucralose The largest producer, local companies mainly include Jinhe Industrial, Shandong Kangbao, Guangdong Qingyi, Shandong Zhongyi, etc. At this stage, my country’s sucralose has a wide range of application fields, broad market demand, and good industry development prospects. However, domestic sucralose is still a highly polluting and energy-consuming industry. In the future, local companies will need to continue to improve production equipment and promote the industry to continue to develop in the direction of greening, environmental protection, and standardization.
