The volume and price of salidroside are rising, and there is huge room for future development
Salidroside is generally divided by purity, which ranges from 1% to 100%, and has various specifications such as 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 10%, 98%, 99%, etc. . Usually, the commonly used low-purity salidroside content on the market is 1%, 3%, 5%, and 10%, and the commonly used high-purity salidroside content is 98%. The higher the content, the higher the price of salidroside products.
Salidroside is mainly extracted from the plant Rhodiola rosea. The growth of Rhodiola rosea is greatly affected by the climate environment and picking frequency. If the production of medicinal materials is reduced in the current season due to climate or over-harvesting, it will cause an increase in the purchase price of medicinal materials. . In recent years, due to the rising market price of Rhodiola rosea, many merchants who sell cordyceps, Qianghuo and other varieties have turned to Rhodiola rosea, which has led to the reduction of Rhodiola rosea resources and the rising price of Rhodiola rosea. Affected by this, the price of salidroside has also increased. Keep rising. According to the released “2022-2027 Salidroside Industry Market In-depth Research and Investment Prospects Forecast Analysis Report”, in 2021, The price of 3% salidroside is nearly 170 yuan/kg. It is expected that salidroside will continue to maintain a rising price trend in the next 2-3 years.
Although product prices have been rising, the purchase willingness of downstream users of salidroside has not decreased. This is mainly because salidroside is of natural origin, safe and healthy, and is in line with people’s pursuit of green food, green cosmetics, etc. In addition, China has a large population base and a huge market space. With the improvement of China’s consumption level and deepening health concepts, the demand for health products and dietary nutritional supplements continues to grow, thus the demand for salidroside continues to grow. . In 2021, China’s demand for salidroside will be nearly 250 tons.
Not only the domestic market, but also the demand for salidroside in foreign countries is also growing. Abroad, salidroside is mainly used in the fields of health products and cosmetics. In the field of health products, the United States, such as Novo and GNC, have launched dietary supplements. , containing a variety of Rhodiola rosea extract ingredients such as salidroside; French Sephora has launched a series of Rhodiola rosea skin care products and cosmetics with salidroside as the main ingredient. A large part of China’s salidroside products are exported to foreign markets every year. However, due to China’s wildlife protection policy, the export of salidroside will be greatly restricted in the future.
Industrial analysts said that in the future, as the scientific community continues to deepen its research on the pharmacological effects and applications of salidroside, Hongjing The application scope of Tianjin will gradually expand, and the market demand will continue to grow.
