There is huge space for bio-xylitol market promotion and the domestic market is in its infancy.

Xylitol, also known as pentapentanol, is an organic compound that appears as white crystals or crystalline powder. It is easily soluble in water and slightly soluble in methanol and ethanol. Xylitol is widely distributed in nature and is widely found in various fruits, vegetables, and cereals. According to different sources, xylitol can be divided into two categories: biological xylitol and chemical xylitol. In recent years, under the background of the rise of bio-economy, the market attention of bio-xylitol has been increasing.

Biological xylitol is catalyzed by xylose reductase in microbial cells such as yeast or genetically engineered bacteria, which reduces xylose to xylitol. The hydrogen comes from the hydrogen atoms in the reduced coenzymes in the cells and the hydrogen atoms in the water. . The chemical method is a traditional preparation process for xylitol. The raw materials produced by the chemical method are mainly chemicals. There are problems such as high production conditions, high costs, complex products, and difficult separation. Compared with chemical methods, biological methods have the advantages of safety, energy saving, environmental protection, wide sources of raw materials, and low cost, and there is huge room for market promotion in the future.

In the dual-carbon context, the development of bio-based materials has attracted great attention from countries around the world. Regions including the United States, Japan, the European Union, and China have promoted the development of the bio-based materials industry through tax subsidies and the introduction of policy guidelines. This provides a good external environment for the development of the bio-xylitol industry.

According to the “2023-2027 China Bio-Xylitol Industry Market Monitoring and Future Development Prospects Research Report released by the Industrial Research Center It shows that globally, bio-xylitol related manufacturers include Danisco, Fortress, Harbin Yimei Biotechnology, Jiangxi Zhenran Biotechnology, Shengquan Tang and Tang Biotechnology. At present, my country’s bio-xylitol industry is in its infancy. As relevant projects are put into production, the scale of my country’s bio-xylitol industry will continue to expand.

In recent years, the global xylitol market has continued to expand, reaching more than 990 million yuan in 2021. my country is a major producer of xylitol. In 2021, my country’s xylitol industry output reached 52,000 tons, a year-on-year increase of 13.0%. The main production companies include Huakang Co., Ltd., Shandong Futian Technology, Shandong Lvjian Biotechnology, etc. Domestic xylitol Mainly exported to Poland, Turkey, the United States, Italy and other regions. As a natural sweetener, xylitol has the characteristics of preventing dental caries, losing weight, and having low calories. It is widely used in food, medicine, light industry, daily chemicals, personal care and other fields, among which food is the most important application scenario.

Industry analysts said that xylitol is a functional sugar alcohol and is widely used in food, medicine, daily chemicals and other fields. Under the dual-carbon background, the development of the bio-based materials market is accelerating, the bio-xylitol market attention is increasing, and the number of companies with global presence will continue to increase. my country is a major producer of xylitol, and the bio-xylitol industry is in its infancy. With the active deployment of relevant companies, the scale of the bio-xylitol industry will further expand in the future.
