Description:

Beta Carotene, or β-carotene, an important pigment and ingredient in food, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industry, has already put into production for ten more years in China, whereas its application history is even longer, about 30 years.

The production of β-carotene currently is not so prosperous in China, but its market prospect is bright.

This report provides a data-based, clear and in-depth research on β-carotene industry, from the aspects of history, technology, production (including different specifications), market, import & export, consumption, etc.

All the manufacturers in China are sourced in this report. The import and export analysis is based on considerable phone calls. In the consumption section, the consumption pattern is discussed in detail.

Besides, 2 other important pigments with somewhat similar use as β-carotene, including Carotenoid and Lycopene, are also discussed and researched in this report.

Executive Summary

(Note: The following summary is based on the situation in 2005 and maybe different to what it is nowadays. Please be noted.)

In 1991, Inner Mongolia Lantai Industrial Co., Ltd (Inner Mongolia Lantai) began to launch β-carotene products into the market. It is the first company producing β-carotene in China.

By March 2005, there are XXX β-carotene manufacturers in China. They are:
- XXXX
- XXXX
- ……

XXX, and XXX adopt synthetic method to produce β-carotene, while XXX adopts fermentation and XXX adopts extraction method.

Actual production proves that extraction method is not suitable for large-scale production in China, and it will be replaced by synthetic and fermentation methods gradually in the future.

In 2004, the total output of β-carotene in China is XXXMTs and the total production capacity in 2005 is claimed to reach XXXMTs.

Based on the import and export analysis, China imported XXXMTs and exported XXXMTs of β-carotene in 2004. The apparent consumption volume of β-carotene in China is XXXMTs in 2004.

β-carotene products have many types, including crystal, oil suspension, water-dispersing dry powder and latex.

β-carotene is a nutrient with specific effects recorded in pharmacopoeia. It can be widely used in clinic and other fields. Its main application fields are as follows:
- drink
- XXX
- XXX
- ……

XXX% of β-carotene was used in drink production in China. β-carotene plays three roles in drinks: pigmentation, vitamin supplement and anti-oxidation.
