At present, the demand for licorice flavonoids in domestic medicine and food fields is small, mainly because of insufficient innovative research in this area. Medicines and food products using licorice flavonoids as raw materials have yet to be developed and expanded; the application of licorice flavonoids in the cosmetics industry is relatively small. There are many kinds of licorice flavonoids, and the dosage is relatively large. It is currently the main demand market for licorice flavonoids in China. From the perspective of production technology, due to the late start of the domestic licorice flavonoids industry, there are problems such as resource waste, high energy consumption, and low efficiency during the purification operation of licorice flavonoids. There is still a certain gap between the production technology and foreign countries.

At present, there are few licorice flavonoid manufacturers in the world, and they are mainly concentrated in European and American countries. Thanks to economic development, residents’ consumption levels have increased, which has promoted the rapid rise of China’s pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries, and its demand for licorice flavonoids has also continued to increase. As a result, China’s research and production of licorice flavonoids has become increasingly active.

It is often used in medicine, health products, cosmetics and other fields. At present, my country’s licorice flavonoids production capacity and supply are large, but the demand is small. Europe, the United States, Japan and South Korea and other regions have greater demand for this product, and its market potential is huge. However, at present, there are few well-known brands in my country’s licorice flavonoids industry and their popularity in the international market is not high. Therefore, licorice flavonoids companies should increase brand building efforts, improve brand awareness, and expand foreign markets in the process of brand building, thereby driving Increase in industry sales.
