USD72.6 Billion, Output Value Expectation of China's Fermentation Industry by 2015

"The output value of China's fermentation industry is expected to reach USD72.6 billion by 2015," said Mr. Du, Vice Chairman/Secretary-General of China Biotech Fermentation Industry Association (CBFIA), at a meeting held by CBFIA on 8-9 Dec. 2011 in Beijing City about China's biotech fermentation and relevant industry. He also disclosed some other goals and expectations in detail, as well as the development direction of China's fermentation industry in the next four years, according to CCM International’s January issue of Corn Products China News.

Normally, fermentation industry includes amino acids, starch sugar, polyalcohol, organic acids, enzymic preparations, yeast and other fermentation products with special functions, like isomalto-oligosaccharide, most of which have enjoyed better development in 2011 over 2010, and the total output of some key fermentation products rose by 12.5% during the first eight months of 2011 over the same period of 2010. In the mean time, the total export volume of key fermentation products increased by 21% to 1.83 million tonnes with their export value amounting to USD2.1 billion, up 24% year on year. Specifically, export volumes of enzymic preparations, starch sugar and glutamic acid witnessed an incredible increase, while those of lactic acid and yeast rose stably, but lysine's and polyalcohol's suffered a decrease due to their booming domestic demand. 

More importantly, it's predicted that China's fermentation industry will still enjoy great prospect in the next four years: the average annual growth rate of its output can reach 15% from 2012 to 2015, which will amount to 30 million tonnes by 2015; the output value is expected to be USD72.6 billion. However, China won't be only obsessed with pell-mell development. Instead, it wants the industry to develop healthily and scientifically. So Mr. Du pointed out some development directions of the fermentation industry in the next four years.

 

Firstly, fermentation products with high added value and promising prospect will be encouraged to develop preferentially. In light of Mr. Du, the proportion of the outputs of polyalcohol, enzymic preparations, pharmaceutical amino acids and starch sugar in total fermentation products' output should rise to over 70% by 2015 from 60% in 2011. In contrast, the proportion of monosodium glutamate and citric acid should decline to below 18% by 2015 from 24% in 2010.

 

Secondly, the industry concentration should increase, and leading enterprises will be supported to develop further: the number of leading enterprises with annual revenue over USD1.6 billion and over USD0.8 billion should reach more than 5 and 10 respectively by 2015.    

 

Thirdly, non-grain raw materials, like cassava, will be paid much attention to develop. In accordance with Mr. Du, the proportion of non-grain raw materials' consumption volume in total raw materials' should rise to about 15% by 2015 from 5% in 2010. It's well known that the major raw material in fermentation industry in China is corn, which has witnessed an insufficient supply situation in recent two years, resulting in its continuous price increase. In view of Chinese government's advice, industrial production should not compete against people for food. And Chinese government will try its best to reduce the 28.9% proportion of corn consumption in deep-processing industry in the product's total consumption in 2010 to 25.7% in 2012, by dint of restricting the development of corn deep-processing industry. According to the Guidance about Promoting the Healthy Development of Corn Deep-processing Industry (the Guidance) published in 2007, the proportion of corn consumption in deep-processing industry in its total consumption shall be less than 26%.

 

Fourthly, fermentation technology should be improved in order to increase the utilization rate of raw materials, reduce the consumption of water and energy as well as pollution. In detail, CBFIA's expected goal is that the consumption of water and energy can decrease by 30% and 18% separately by 2015 compared with that in 2011. 

Overall, China is a big production country in fermentation industry currently, but not a great-power one. And there is still a long way to go for domestic fermentation industry to become strong and mature.

China to Accelerate Development of Biomaterials

Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) released a "Twelfth Five-Year Plan for Industrial Technology Innovation (2011- 2015)" on November 4, 2011, which will accelerate the development of domestic biomaterial industry in next several years, according to CCM International’s first issue of Biomaterials China News.

In general, the plan will support technological innovation of four industry fields including raw materials, equipment manufacturing, consumer goods and information technology sectors to boost the industrial transformation and upgrading. Among these fields, biomaterial industry will directly benefit from the related support policies of the raw materials and consumer goods. Based on the specific content of the plan, domestic biomaterial industry will get more support from the Chinese government and enter a rapid development stage.

Major tasks of the plan are: to strengthen the technological innovation ability, to build the service system of technological innovation, to develop the key and common technologies, to promote the transformation of scientific research achievements, and to foster and develop the emerging industries of strategic importance.

Major guarantee measures of the pan to support technological innovation are: to establish a coordination mechanism, to increase investment, to strengthen policy guidance, to improve the technology standard system, to expand international scientific and technological cooperation and to strengthen talent training.

Besides this plan, another plan related to biomaterial, namely "Twelfth Five-Year Plan for New Material Industry", has also been completed by MIIT at the end of November 2011, which may be published in December 2011. On November 16, 2011, Mr. Gao, an officer from MIIT, revealed that total output value of domestic new material industry may reach about USD300 billion in 2015, with an annual growth rate of above 25% from 2011 to 2015. Meanwhile, the specific guarantee measures are: to establish a stable financial input mechanism, to build and perfect a safeguard mechanism for investment and to promote 30 new materials, etc.

As for the above plans, some insiders of domestic major biomaterial producers believed that the above plans will be helpful to accelerate development of domestic biomaterial industry in the next several years. Mr. Zhang, a staff from Wuhan Huali Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. (Wuhan Huali) which is the largest starch-based material producer with capacity of 40,000t/a in China, thought that the above two plans will be helpful to exploit new domestic market and promote starch-based material in the future. Moreover, Mr. Zhang hoped that the Chinese government can release more support policies in addition to the measures of the above plans, such as increasing export tax rebates to strengthen international competitiveness and providing finance subsidy to reduce raw material cost.

Moreover, Mr. Liu, a staff from Tianjin Green Bioscience Co., Ltd.(Tianjin Green)which is the largest PHA (Polyhydroxyalkanoates) company with capacity of 10,000t/a in China, believed that the above plans will increase domestic demand for biomaterials. Meanwhile, he also revealed that Tianjin Green may adjust product structure, expand capacity and make more efforts to cooperate with more domestic downstream companies in the future. Furthermore, Mr. Liu also expected that the Chinese government can provide financial subsidies to reduce the negative effect caused by the increasing RMB appreciation.

Additionally, Mr. Wu, a manager from Nanyang Zhongju Tianguan Low Carbon Technology Co., Ltd. (Nanyang Zhongju Tianguan) which is the largest PPC (Polypropylene-carbonate) company with capacity of 5,000t/a in China, also generally agreed with the above opinions of Mr. Zhang and Mr. Liu. Mr. Wu thinks that the plan can improve competitiveness of biomaterial companies to be better than that of oil-based plastic companies. Meanwhile, Mr. Wu hoped that the Chinese government should make a law to clearly regulate a specific content of biomaterials in related environmental friendly products, in order to guarantee stable demands from domestic biomaterial downstream industries.
