This report provides an overview of creatine's production, price, export, and consumption in China in 2014, covering survey findings on the following aspects: Who are the major producers and exporters of creatine in the country? How the historical product prices is and its trends will be? Who are the major downstream consumers? Which factors are influencing the decision of investing in creatine production?



Generally, capacity and output of creatine in China kept stable in 2013 and 2014, and the former has kept unchanged in 2015 so far. Actually, the production distribution has gone through some changes these years. Eastern China has been the dominant area for creatine production; meanwhile, the production has already expanded to western China. Producers in both areas have their own problems to be solved for keeping future development.



Along with the production expansion and entrance of new producers, price of creatine has shown a downtrend in the past three years, as both product supply and industry competition increased. Considering the increasing cost and joining of potential entrants, the creatine price in China is likely to keep stable in the coming few years.



In the future, the production scale will be enlarging, as new production lines can be tracked down. Industry competition will become stiffer in the future.



Most of China's creatine have been exported and in 2014 this proportion reached 70%, while most exported products are low-value raw creatine. In 2014, about 86% of them were shiped to North America and Europe, while the US was the largest export destination.

Overseas brands such as MET-RX, Muscletech, Optimum Nutrition, and Muscle Pharm have together taken about 80% of share in the domestic market.
