Supply of sodium borohydride in China appears superfluous at present

In China, sodium borohydride is widely used in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, intermediates, fine chemicals, electronic products, paper making, water treatment and perfume. Among them, pharmaceuticals industry is the largest application field, taking up 73% of consumption volume of sodium borohydride in 2013, which is different from overseas markets where paper making is the dominant field. Its consumption in electronic products, paper making, water treatment and perfume is quite small.

CCM recently finished a report named Sodium Borohydride Market in China, which reveals the production and consumption of sodium borohydride in China during 2010-2013 through the following key aspects:
- Key findings and market dynamics in the sodium borohydride industry
- Production situation of sodium borohydride (mainly during 2009-2013), including capacity, output, price, technology and competition among producers
- Consumption situation of sodium borohydride during 2010-2013 and introduction to major end-use segments
- Forecast on production and consumption of sodium borohydride during 2014-2018

The supply of sodium borohydride in China is superfluous at present, with just a 42.0% operating rate in 2013. Despite a steady increase in the past few years, the consumption volume of sodium borohydride in China is still small. As a result, there were no new entrants in the industry during 2010-2013.

Compared with 2003-2009, the production situation of sodium borohydride in 2010-2013 showed some differences. During 2010-2013, the capacity kept relatively stable at about 6,000 t/a with a CAGR of about 0.3%, while the corresponding growth rate in 2003-2009 was as high as 39.2%. In terms of output, it posted a CAGR of 25.9% in 2003-2009, which became merely about 8.8% in the past four years.

Currently, China is basically self-sufficient in sodium borohydride. Compared with its domestic output, the import volume is small. Many end-users in China claimed that they use homemade sodium borohydride, which is able to meet their demand both in quality and price. Besides, China exports a small quantity of the product to overseas markets.

The report is the 2^rd edition of CCM’s series surveys covering China’s sodium borohydride industry. If you want to know more details of the report, please visit: http://www.cnchemicals.com/Product/Report/2359/Sodium-Borohydride-Market-in-China-Edition(2)

Domestic output of sugar alcohol witnesses uptrend in recent years

Sugar alcohol has witnessed fairly fast development in China in recent years according to CCM's newly issued report, Survey of Sugar Alcohol in China. In detail, the outputs of sorbitol, maltitol, xylitol, mannitol and erythritol, five main kinds of sugar alcohol, reached 839,600 tonnes, 80,400 tonnes, 66,900 tonnes, 22,700 tonnes and 11,500 tonnes in 2012, growing with CAGRs of 12.2%, 12.1%, 7.6%, 16.1% and 34.6% respectively in the past four years (FIGURE 6).

The increasing output of sugar alcohol in China is mainly attributed to growing demand from downstream industries especially food and pharmaceuticals industries, the two largest consumption fields of sugar alcohol which consumed 82% of domestic sugar alcohol in 2012 (FIGURE 7). For example, the consumption quantity of sugar alcohol in confectionery, baked food and beverage were about 134,000 tonnes, 124,000 tonnes and 34,000 tonnes in 2012, up 52.2%, 176.9% and 111.5% respectively compared with those in 2010. China's food industry has undergone rapid development in recent years, pushing up demand for sugar alcohol as food additive. The year-on-year growth rates in the output of food industry in China were 17.1% in 2011 and 11.9% in the first 11 months of 2012 according to data from National Bureau of Statistics of China. In addition, people care about their health far more than before and they prefer food with no or low content of sugar as the number of diabetic and obese patients is becoming larger and larger in China. Hence, demand for sugar alcohol such as xylitol and erythritol grows because they perform well as sweeteners that do not raise blood sugar level.

As for the consumption in pharmaceuticals industry, sugar alcohol is mainly applied in vitamin C (VC) and injection products. Although the consumption volume of sugar alcohol in VC did not see growth due to the poor export performance of VC, the consumption volume of sugar alcohol in injection products enjoyed rapid growth. Specifically, the consumption volume of sugar alcohol in injection products was 96,600 tonnes in 2012, up 62.7% compared with that two years ago. In detail, the CAGRs of the consumption volumes of sorbitol, mannitol and xylitol in injection products in China were 27.6%, 16.5% and 47.3% respectively during 2010-2012.

It is predicted that domestic output of sugar alcohol will keep uptrend in the future due to the increasing demand from downstream industries. In the Development Plan of Biological Industry issued in Dec. 2012, domestic biological pharmaceuticals shall increase with a CAGR of over 20% in output value during 2013-2015. And as indicated in the 12th Five-Year Development Plan (2011-2015) for Food Industry, the output value of China's food industry will grow with a CAGR of 15% during 2011-2015. Consequently, the fast developing downstream industries will boost demand for sugar alcohol, increasing its output in the future.
