Xylose and Xylitol China Product Research Report

In China the corn production is 70 million MT/year, which can yield about 10 million MT/year of corncob, meaning that potential production capacity of xylose (xylitol) can reach 1 million MT/year. No wonder China is a potential one in the world market. In fact China is becoming strong in the production of xylose and xylitol that needs close watch. However Chinese production is subject to changing closely with international demand. The domestic consumption of xylose/xylitol is quite limited due to high price comparing with other sweeteners, as well as weak consumption capability in China in the field of sugar substitutes. It seems that Chinese xylose is more competitive than xylitol due to easy availability of raw materials and maturity of technology. Besides production and trade, this report also looks at China's consumption and raw material supply situation, as well as the production ways.
