Promising Future of China’s Biomaterials Industry

Biomaterials refer to those use renewable materials as raw materials, which are mainly divided into 4 types: natural bio-based materials, microbial synthetic materials, chemical synthesis of bio-based materials and bio-nylon. Biomaterials have enjoyed fast development in China in recent years. And it is estimated that China’s biomaterials market will have a promising future.

Some kinds of biomaterials have achieved great process, and even have been industrialized by now, such as Poly (lactic acid) (PLA), Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) and Poly (butanediol succinate) (PBS). Many domestic processors make efforts to expand capacity.

Take PLA for example, total production capacity of China’s PLA has reached 19,100t/a in April 2011, and it is estimated to reach 46,556t/a in 2015, with CAGR of 38.91%. With the release of Plastic Shopping Bags National Mandatory Standards in May 2008, Chinese government reduces the production, sales and use of plastic shopping bags, which provides more development opportunities for PLA.

Besides, domestic processors aim to exploit new market. A primary example is Anqing Hexing, also a leading PBS processor, has succeeded in getting a National High Technology Research and Development Programme (863 Programme) in September 2011, aiming to optimize the fermentation process of succinic acid and develop the PBS efficient polymerization process and materials processing technology by 2014. If Anqing Hexing succeeds, the company will expand its business not only in China but also in overseas markets easily.

In conclusion, China’s biomaterials market will have a promising future, and its focus on the country’s biomaterials industry is a good way for Chinese and multinational processors to cooperate or compete with each other!

CCM International’s First Issue Biomaterials China News Coming Soon

The first issue of CCM’s Biomaterials China News is estimated to be published in December 2011. Covering columns of market dynamics, price update, company dynamics, import & export analysis, raw material supply and special report, this newsletter will present you the most comprehensive information of China’s biomaterial market.

Why to subscribe?

Having developed rapidly in China in recent years, biomaterials are expected to have a promising market in the future. Some types of biomaterials have achieved great process, such as Poly (lactic acid) (PLA), Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) and Poly (butanediol succinate) (PBS). Domestic manufacturers aim to expand their capacities or increase investment in biomaterials.

Although the market is huge, it is not mature in China. It’s necessary to learn the whole market so as to make wise decisions. Keeping abreast of the dynamics of China’s biomaterials industry is very important for the biomaterial companies. CCM International’s Biomaterials China News will meet all your needs. The newsletter will let you obtain the useful information and make you discover the business opportunities in this industry.

What categories will be reported?

Biomaterials refers to those use renewable materials as raw materials. The latest update and insightful analysis of raw materials, together with biomaterials will be shared in this newsletter.

(1) Raw Material

Corn, potato and cassava, etc.

(2) Biomaterials

-Natural bio-based materials: starch (PSM), cellulose, protein, chitin and lignin;

Starch Industry Hot Topics Released by CCM

A report named Starch Industry Hot Topics was released by CCM, which gives you an in-depth analysis on the big events and changes happening in starch industry, including:
- Cases of enterprises integration in starch industry

At present, companies' reorganization is a development trend in starch industry, as more and more small-scale enterprises would be eliminated in the industry due to immature production technologies and weak competitiveness. Restructuring of starch industry is in progress and inefficient production capacities have been gradually washed out from the field. Enterprises integration becomes a future trend for starch enterprises to survive and develop.

- Supply structure and price fluctuation of feedstock

Among different kinds of feedstock, corn accounts for 79.83% of total supply of starch feedstock in China in 2010. Corn price increases in 2010, which is mainly attributed to rapid development of corn deep processing industry and pork storage plan.

- Anti-subsidy investigation into potato starch from EU

On Aug. 30^th, 2010, China begins to run the anti-subsidy investigation into EU's potato-based starch. If this anti-subsidy investigation is successful for China, the import volume of potato-based starch will reduce a lot, and domestic potato processors and peasants will get a more favorable profit margin, which will greatly restore the market share for domestic potato processors.

- Analysis on sustainable development of tapioca-based bio-fuel and tapioca starch
- Commercial production of waxy corn starch
- Genetically modified food policies
- New application of starch in papermaking
