International market of natural resveratrol

Market monitoring shows that the international consumption heat of resveratrol is obviously decreasing, and the number and frequency of new products launched are decreasing year by year This year, the number of new resveratrol enterprises in the international market is far less than that in previous years Resveratrol is one of the best-selling products in the international health care market In the past 10 years, western researchers have found that resveratrol has a variety of anti-aging and health care functions, such as anti-aging, anti-cancer, weight loss and treatment of diabetes The total number of resveratrol health products on the market in the past 10 years can reflect the popularity of the product in the international market However, after the market of synthetic resveratrol products, the export of natural resveratrol in China has encountered some resistance Mature and stable end use According to the statistical data of European Datamonitor consulting company, from 2002 to 2010, 98 resveratrol containing health food were developed and listed in the world, especially during the peak period of 2007, 24 resveratrol new health products were listed in the world; in 2006, only 8 resveratrol health products were listed in the world; by 2008, the heat of resveratrol health products developed by manufacturers in various countries had declined, and only listed in that year There were 18 resveratrol health products, 16 in 2009 and 15 in 2010 However, some foreign people believe that the decrease in the number of resveratrol health products on the market does not mean the decline in the overall sales of the product, because since 2005, some new uses of resveratrol have been found one after another, and the food products developed according to these new uses have occupied a certain market In addition, cosmetics are also a major user of resveratrol According to data monitor, resveratrol consumed by skin care cosmetics accounts for about 12% - 15% of the total resveratrol sales in the world every year, and the growth trend is very strong It is clear from the attached table that the sales volume of resveratrol raw materials in the international market has not decreased but increased slowly This situation is largely related to the sales volume of resveratrol promoted by new uses such as functional food At present, there are thousands of drugs, health care products, cosmetics and various functional foods using resveratrol raw materials in the world, and the number of people who take or use terminal products containing resveratrol ingredients is about 200 million every year It is estimated that the global sales of resveratrol terminal products are up to several hundred million to one billion US dollars The natural resveratrol mainly comes from grape skin and traditional Chinese medicine Polygonum cuspidatum Resveratrol produced by Chinese manufacturers is mainly extracted from Polygonum cuspidatum, while that produced in Europe is mainly extracted from grape skin Because Polygonum cuspidatum resources are concentrated in southwest provinces of China, resveratrol production in Sichuan, Chongqing, Hubei and other provinces is the highest, followed by other provinces The sales volume of resveratrol in the international market has been growing flat for a long time, but since 2008, the international market of resveratrol health care products has suddenly become popular, causing foreign manufacturers to add resveratrol orders to China The export price of resveratrol skyrocketed to 4800 yuan / kg, which caused many domestic manufacturers to invest in the production of resveratrol At the most, there were more than 60 domestic producers of resveratrol, but most of them only produced dozens to hundreds of kg As the domestic market for resveratrol health products has not yet formed, a large number of resveratrol can only be exported overseas However, due to the impact of the economic crisis and European manufacturers' development of synthetic resveratrol and other factors, China's export of resveratrol began to be blocked after 2010, and the export price plummeted to 2300-2400 yuan / kg Such low price is bound to lose money for most manufacturers, so most resveratrol producers stopped production last year, and only a dozen enterprises are still insisting on producing resveratrol Domestic crude resveratrol products have plummeted from nearly 30 tons in the past few years to more than 10 tons It's hard to break through According to foreign media reports, Pfizer has invested more than $700 million in the research and development of new products of resveratrol and its derivatives It is said that the FDA will approve resveratrol as an anti-aging drug in the next few years Pfizer has listed resveratrol as the focus of new product development in the future To a large extent, Pfizer is optimistic about the prospect of the global anti-aging product market in the next 10 years It is estimated that the total sales volume of the global anti-aging product market will reach 274 billion US dollars next year In addition, in recent years, the western manufacturers led by DSM in the Netherlands have developed synthetic resveratrol products, which have been put on the market As the price of resveratrol is at least 1 / 3 lower than that of natural resveratrol, and its purity can reach 99% (at present, the purity of resveratrol extracted from the best plants is only 98%, and contains a certain amount of rhein and other impurities), many European health products manufacturers have purchased resveratrol to replace natural resveratrol Therefore, it is speculated that China's export of natural resveratrol decreased sharply after 2010, or it is mainly related to the large-scale listing of synthetic resveratrol products of DSM company in the Netherlands In recent years, the United States and the United Kingdom and other western countries have developed a number of resveratrol new functional foods, the most remarkable of which is "anti-aging water" According to reports, "anti-aging water" is an isoosmotic water containing resveratrol, which can discharge free radicals from the body, thus slowing down the aging process of cells or tissues The main new use of resveratrol is skin cosmetics such as anti wrinkle cream The new use is expected to expand the global sales of resveratrol After more than ten years of development, resveratrol market has formed a highly mature market in foreign countries It is expected that China's resveratrol export volume will continue to maintain the current situation in the next few years As the Netherlands and other countries have developed total synthetic resveratrol products, and India, Argentina and other countries have joined the ranks of natural resveratrol exporting countries and formed a competition with China's natural resveratrol products, the export prospect of China's natural resveratrol is not very clear in the next few years However, China has also made some achievements in the synthesis of resveratrol Hangzhou Guanglin biomedical Co., Ltd has successfully synthesized resveratrol, oxidized resveratrol, red sandalwood Qi and other new raw materials for health products, and has exported products.
