Description

Sodium Gluconate and Glucono Delta-Lactone's Major Producers Capacity and Output in China in 2021

Sodium gluconate (SG), the sodium salt of gluconic acid, is used in concrete additive, water quality steadying agent, food and electroplating detergent industries in China. Glucono-delta-lactone (GDL) is a harmless food additive to the human body. During the past two years, these two industries have seen increasing output and consumption in China.
  • Sodium gluconate
As of Dec. 2021, there were five manufacturers with sodium gluconate capacity exceeding 100,000 t/a, including Shandong Fuyang, Zhucheng Xingmao, Baisheng Biotechnology, Xiwang Sugar and the newcomer Yuxing Biotechnology. In 2017–2021, the output of sodium gluconate in China grew at a CAGR of 2.0%, reaching 701,400 tonnes in 2021. The output of the top five SG producers in 2021 accounted for 82.98% of total SG output in China, which was 5.44% lower than that of 2020.

In 2021, the full-year ex-works price of sodium gluconate was above USD660/t as USD/CNY continued to weaken. The price surpassed USD700/t in Q4 and reached USD779/t in Nov. as the price of corn starch rose.

As to SG production technology, the enzyme method has become the mainstream technology thanks to no fungal residue and less energy consumption.
  • Glucono-delta-lactone
As of Dec. 2021, there were seven active GDL producers in China. The capacity of the top three producers accounted for 60.66% of the national total. Thanks to increasing demand abroad and profitable sales, the output of GDL in China grew at a CAGR of 2.34% from 2017 to 2021, reaching 34,000 t/a in 2021. From 2018 to 2021, China's GDL operating rate remains between 55%–60% (except for 2020).

In 2021, annual average ex-works price of GDL reached USD1,687/t, rising 19.22% year on year.

There are four methods for GDL production, namely fermentation method, catalytic oxidation method, glucose oxidase method and electrolytic oxidation method, with glucose or starch as starting material.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
