Bone & Joint Care Market Report

With the end of the Winter Olympics in China, we are glad to share the latest information regarding China’s Carbon Neutrality information since last September.

Data shows that the national carbon emission trading market, which has been piloted and constructed for 10 years, operated for 114 trading days in 2021, with a cumulative trading volume of 179 million tons and a cumulative turnover of 7.661 billion RMB. More than half of the key emission units participated in the market trading. This is an important step in the "double carbon" process, but it is not the last step.

In another word, the carbon neutrality policy together with the power limit will become a constant situation in China in the next 10 years. However, the nutrition industry could still expect a “Price Fall” since there is lots of speculating factors in the last half year’s price increase in the market, which is beyond a reasonable supply and demand relationship. The market is going back to a reasonable level in the next 6 months.

 

Ingredients News:

Acerbio Glucosamine

To build a more sustainable supply chain in the future, Ingredients4u is also building our new facility to produce vegan products, vegan glucosamine is one of the most important ones among these investments. We believe the benefits of vegan source glucosamine could provide a more stable supply, could be friendly towards all vegetarians, and due to the yield rate is much higher than animal-sourced products, it could even provide with better cost performance.

Chondroitin Sulphate

The price of chondroitin sulfate has been increasing by 30% since last October and has been at a peak in the last 3 years. The cost including power, carbon, and other energy during the production is still maintained at a high level, therefore we believe the current price will still maintain in the next 4-5 months and might have another fluctuation after summer.

Hyaluronic Acid

The global market of Hyaluronic Acid has decreased by 9% in the year 2020 but has increased again by 15% in the year 2021. The whole demand for Hyaluronic Acid has been increasing a lot in the nutraceutical market, and the total application of HA in the nutraceutical market has been very close to the pharmaceutical industry. The current price of HA has been at the bottom level in the last 10 years, and it is an excellent time for all buyers to purchase Hyaluronic Acid.

Curcumin

The whole market of curcumin has also increased by 20%, partially due to the global aging trend that leads to the cardiovascular and joint care market’s growth. Curcumin could be an excellent choice in both cardiovascular and joint care products by providing anti-inflammatory and heart function support. Therefore we anticipate that curcumin will be growing very quickly again in the year 2022.
