Welcome to the July issue of Sweeteners China News published by CCM, a professional consulting company which has been extensively and intensively focusing on the dynamics of China's sweetener industry.
It is estimated that the development of some sweeteners in China is confronted with some problems now.
Actually, there exists an overcapacity problem in two industries, namely the sucralose industry and the xylitol industry. Some factors, however, such as the good prospect for sucralose and the diversified development has prevented the enthusiasm about investing in these two industries from weakening over the past few years, especially the one in the domestic sucralose industry.
Besides, some sweeteners in China rely so much on export. For example, the development of domestic mogroside industry is almost totally dependent on its demand from the US. But some products underperformed in export business in 2013. For example, the export volume of China's maltitol decreased by 16.94% year on year in the first four months of 2013, which exerted a negative effect on the industry's development.
