subject: Biotin In China Will Increase Exports Prospects (figure) - Biotin - Pharmaceutical Industries [print this page] Biotin production in China is a big country, Zhejiang several biotin manufacturers products are very popular abroad. Since the beginning of 2008, the international market price of biotin into "upward." Experts believe that the next two years of biotin in China will continue to increase in export volume, export prospects are bright.
Biotin, also known as " Vitamin H ", is one of the B vitamins.
The early 90s of last century, western pharmacologists have discovered many of biotin interesting new uses, including the prevention of neural tube abnormalities in fetus caused by teratogenic, promoting decomposition of body fat?? Weight loss and so on, biotin caused medical attention. Recent research demonstrates that, biotin can effectively treat most countries, high incidence of type 2 diabetes, this finding makes the original sales flat biotin become a popular commodity in the world pharmaceutical market.
Vitamin 90s of last century, the International biotin by several Western market has been monopolized by large companies, including Germany KgaA, BASF, Roche, Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd. and the world, such Takeda major vitamin manufacturers. Although our country back in the late 60th century had already begun trial production of biotin, but due to backward technology and production cost factors, the yield has been low, only part of the domestic market to meet demand, needs to import a big year part. This early 90s in the last century began to change. As the international market price Douzhang biotin, China Pharmaceutical companies Began to actively engage in biotin API Production. With biotin manufacturers rapidly expanding team, our dependence on imports not only ended the long-term situation, a large number of biological factors has made the international market began to arrive. By 1998, China's exports of biotin biotin international markets already "half." However, our export product is basically biotin added value of feed-grade biotin, while the selling price of pharmaceutical grade or higher level of biotin cosmetics market is still dominated by large Western companies.
Biotin production in China a real turning point occurred in 2001. Department of Chemistry, Shanghai Fudan University researchers invented the world's first "d-biotin Asymmetric Synthesis of new technology," From big companies to break the West has long been on the synthesis of biotin lead. Fudan University, invented a new technique using biotin production, which costs less than Western companies biotin production costs of 1 / 3. This new process of biotin in China was firmly established in the international pharmaceutical products of biological factors on the market "pricing." Fudan University, Zhejiang Medical AG, developed using new technology biotin synthesis, one stroke to become the world's largest manufacturer of biological factors. Zhejiang Medicine biotin world production total capacity of about 50% of export volume ranks first in the world. Apart from Zhejiang Medicine, the Zhejiang "NHU" and Zhejiang Shengda company also has a significant number of biotin Export of bulk drugs . Zhejiang Province has become China's largest production and export base of biotin.
Due to China's export surge in the number of biotin, since the end of 2002, the international price of biotin into the lower. To early 2003, the international market of medicinal grade biotin has less than one thousand U.S. dollars the average price / kg, the minimum had to 800 U.S. dollars / kg or so. As the price is too low, including BASF, Roche and other major international manufacturing giant biotin biotin were discontinued feed grade products such as low-grade biotin, to to Chinese enterprises. However, two Japanese companies continued to produce biological factors of production, this is because the Japanese production of biotin only in their sales, few exports in overseas markets, so not cheap Chinese products interfere with biotin.
But in recent years this situation has a new change, scientists from the United States found that biotin could help patients with type 2 diabetes, a new health-care use, the biological factors in the international pharmaceutical market, sales soared. From October 2007 after prices began to quickly picked biotin. Since the beginning of 2008, the international pharmaceutical market price of biotin into the "up channel", to August 2008, China's average export price of feed-grade biotin has reached about 550 U.S. dollars per kilogram, pharmaceutical grade biological factors as high as 1400 per kg dollars. Until end of 2008, China's export of biological factors remain at these levels.
As biotin, Zhejiang several manufacturers are vigorously product quality, so the products are very popular in foreign countries. It is reported that two major biotin Zhejiang exporters have received large foreign-made to order, indicating that they are nearly two years the market for products which do not have to worry about.
