SA bird’s nest acid market demand continues to grow and domestic production capacity increases

SA bird’s nest acid, also known as sialic acid (SA for short), accounts for more than 99% of the sialic acid family. It is the main functional component of bird’s nest and one of the eight essential glyconutrients for the human body. It can promote intellectual development. , anti-viral, regulating immune function and other functions.

In recent years, my country’s middle class has been steadily formed and growing, and my country as a whole has entered a consumption upgrade cycle. On the one hand, the improvement of people’s consumption and expenditure capabilities has provided strong impetus for the development of related industries; on the other hand, the penetration rate of domestic SA bird’s nest acid is low, but the population base is huge and the future growth potential is huge. At the same time, the National Health Commission approved SA bird’s nest acid as a new food raw material in 2017, which will undoubtedly inject new power into my country’s functional nutritional food industry.

According to the “China SA Bird’s Nest Acid Market Analysis and Development Prospects Research Report 2022-2025” released by the Industrial Research Center, in recent years , with the upgrading of consumption, people’s awareness of SA bird’s nest acid products continues to increase, and the demand for SA bird’s nest acid products continues to increase, prompting more and more companies to increase investment in SA bird’s nest acid products, and China’s SA bird’s nest acid product production capacity continues to grow. In 2020, the production capacity of my country’s SA bird’s nest acid industry will be around 50 tons. Due to the short development time of the SA bird’s nest acid industry, there are fewer companies in the domestic SA bird’s nest acid industry, and even fewer companies can supply it on a large scale. Key companies include Jiabiyou Biotechnology (Wuhan) Co., Ltd., Zhongke Hongji Biotechnology Technology Co., Ltd., etc.

SA bird’s nest acid is mainly used in food, medicine and other fields. Among them, food is the main application field of SA bird’s nest acid. Its subdivided application industries include infant food, functional nutritional food, etc. In the pharmaceutical field, SA bird’s nest acid is mainly used in the production of anti-influenza drugs such as oseltamivir and zanamivir. In addition, SA bird’s nest acid has been approved by the State Food and Drug Administration as a cosmetic raw material, and has huge potential in the field of cosmetics in the future.

Industrial researchers believe that China’s SA bird’s nest acid industry is in a rapid growth stage, and demand shows a continued growth trend. In recent years, as people’s understanding of health continues to deepen, SA bird’s nest acid will develop rapidly as a functional food ingredient. Attracted by the market prospects, especially after SA bird’s nest acid is approved for use in cosmetics in the future, more manufacturers may be attracted to enter the field for large-scale production, and the market competition in the SA bird’s nest acid industry may become fierce. SA bird’s nest acid production companies should continue to strengthen the research and development of SA bird’s nest acid synthesis technology to improve product purity and quality.
