There are few companies involved in fucoxanthin, but the market prospects are bright

Fucoxanthin, also known as fucoxanthin and fucoxanthin, is a natural pigment of the lutein class among carotenoids and is widely found in various algae, marine phytoplankton, aquatic shellfish and other animals and plants. Fucoxanthin has pharmacological effects such as anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, weight loss, nerve cell protection, and increasing the content of essential vitamins in the human body. It is widely used in medicine, cosmetics, health products and other fields.

The upstream of the fucoxanthin industry chain is the production and supply layer of raw materials such as various algae, aquatic organism cultivation and collection, and organic solvent manufacturing, the midstream is the fucoxanthin production and manufacturing layer, and the downstream is the application field of fucoxanthin, such as medicine, cosmetics, Health care products, food pigments and other fields.

With the improvement of residents’ consumption level, the public is paying more and more attention to medical and health care products, and the market demand for health care products has increased significantly, which will drive the rapid development of the fucoxanthin industry. At the same time, the “her economy”, “appearance economy” and “self-pleasant economy” are prevalent. Fucoxanthin-related products with good beauty and shaping effects are favored by female consumers, and the fucoxanthin market has increased in popularity.

At present, the main extraction methods of fucoxanthin are solvent extraction, enzyme extraction, ultrasonic-assisted extraction and supercritical fluid extraction. Solvent extraction method is simple to operate and is the most widely used, but it has low extraction efficiency and poor extract quality. The materials used in the enzyme extraction method are mild, non-toxic, highly controllable, and have high extraction efficiency. However, the cost of raw materials is high and it is difficult to put into production. The extraction process of ultrasonic-assisted extraction and supercritical fluid extraction is simple, green and environmentally friendly, and the extraction process is stable, which can ensure product quality. However, the extraction process is complex and there are many technical limitations. It is difficult to achieve the quality production of fucoxanthin with this method. How to optimize existing extraction technology or develop better extraction technology is a common problem faced by the fucoxanthin industry.

According to the “2023-2027 Fucoxanthin Industry In-depth Market Research and Investment Strategy Suggestions Report released by the Industrial Research Center, There are few fucoxanthin companies in my country, and the industry is in its infancy. Tianyancha data shows that there are currently no more than 30 fucoxanthin production companies in my country and no more than 50 fucoxanthin-related patents. Demot Biotechnology (Zhuhai) Co., Ltd. has been working in the field of fucoxanthin for four years, focusing on the extraction and development of fucoxanthin. Demot has upgraded algae farming technology, improved algae farming methods, established an independent fucoxanthin industry chain, realized multi-pipeline co-production of marine diatoms, and improved the quality of fucoxanthin. Jiejing Group also has a presence in the fucoxanthin market. It uses a variety of technologies to integrate innovation, find new ways to extract high-purity fucoxanthin, and invest in the construction of an industrial-scale fucoxanthin production line.

Industry analysts said that fucoxanthin has a wide range of applications, there are few companies in the industry, and there is a lot of room for market development. Fucoxanthin companies should increase investment and intensity in research and development, overcome technical difficulties in fucoxanthin production as soon as possible, improve product quality and production efficiency, and reduce production costs. At the same time, fucoxanthin companies should also increase publicity efforts, build fucoxanthin brands, enhance public awareness and recognition of fucoxanthin and related products, and expand the fucoxanthin market scale.
