"Return to nature" calls for continuous warming of plant extract industry in the ascendant

In recent years, the voice of "returning to nature" has been increasing all over the world Plant extracts have attracted more and more attention from the pharmaceutical and food industry It has become one of the fastest growing industries at home and abroad The market scale has leaped forward, showing a huge potential for internal development The rise of plant extract industry different countries have different definitions of plant extract Generally speaking, plant extract is a product formed by taking plants as raw materials, according to the needs of the use of the extracted final product, through the physical and chemical extraction and separation process, directional acquisition and concentration of one or more effective ingredients in the plant without changing its effective structure Definition of plant extract in different countries source: analysis report on plant extract industry of prospective industry research institute Although there are defects in traditional medicine and differences in cultural background, natural plant extracts, in addition to coloring, flavoring, and enhancing fragrance, often have the functions of supplementing human vitamins, enhancing human immune function, antioxidant, reducing blood lipid and other nutritional and health care functions, which can be used as food additives and ingredients of nutritional and health care products, widely used in food and beverage, dairy products, and health care products Health products, medicine, feed and other industries have broad market space In addition, as a part of traditional Chinese medicine, plant extracts have been widely accepted in western society because of their known and quantifiable active ingredients The development characteristics of plant extract industry in China is a new industry in general, which is in the development stage, showing the following four characteristics First, the advantages of regional natural resources are obvious There are more than 1000 professional extraction enterprises in China, large and small The enterprises with an annual export volume of more than 30 million yuan are mainly distributed in Beijing and Tianjin, Shaanxi, Hunan, Sichuan, Yunnan and Guangxi Secondly, the marketing mode has changed from passive to active The vast majority of Chinese medicine enterprises have their own extraction workshops, and most of the domestic plant extract products are mainly exported to Asia, Europe and the United States The export volume of plant extract industry in China accounts for more than 80% of the total income of the industry, and export is the main way to promote the development of the industry Third, there are many small enterprises and no leading enterprises According to statistics, only 4% of China's specialized plant extract enterprises are enterprises above Designated Size (annual sales above 20 million yuan), and most of them have production scale and annual sales below 5 million yuan China plant extract market competition pattern (unit:%) source: prospective industry research institute, plant extract industry analysis report, fourth, there are many products and few competitive varieties No matter how small the scale of any domestic plant lifting enterprise, there are generally more than 20 varieties, but there are few enterprises with core varieties, and few companies with large scale and independent development and scientific research ability Industrialization trend of plant extracts It can be seen from the above analysis that plant extracts have the advantages and characteristics of less investment in development, high technology content, high added value of products and wide international market, which is also an ideal way for traditional Chinese medicine to enter the international market After several years of development, China's plant extracts have a certain industrial scale, and the proportion of export has exceeded that of traditional Chinese medicine, and the trend is on the rise On the other hand, there is still a lack of necessary management standards in the development, production and circulation of extracts from the macro to the micro level There are many kinds of products, miscellaneous specifications, many and small production enterprises, miscellaneous business channels, chaotic business order, and uneven product quality, which damage the image of the export products of plant extracts in China, resulting in a sharp decline in the average export price of extracts and vicious price reduction As a result, the enterprise's benefit has declined and the resources have been wasted seriously The extract of traditional Chinese medicine needs the regulation and regulation of industrialization In general, the industrialization of plant extracts has the following significance: to promote the standardization of industry production and operation; to expand the export channels of traditional Chinese medicine, to promote the internationalization of traditional Chinese medicine products; to cultivate the emerging industry of raw material extracts of traditional Chinese medicine; to strengthen the technological upgrading of traditional Chinese medicine industry, to promote the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine technology With the formation of industrialization trend and the continuous introduction of favorable industrial support policies, the plant extract industry will continue to maintain a high-speed development state, and it is expected that the industry scale will exceed 34.1 billion yuan in 2022 Market scale forecast of Chinese plant extract industry in 2017-2022 (unit: 100 million yuan)
