As the world’s largest spirulina producer.
China is standing at a historical node that has crossed from a “spirulina powerhouse” to a “spirulina powerhouse”.
The ”14th Five-Year Plan“ clearly supports the development and utilization of microalgae biological resources,
and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has included
spirulina farming in the key support project of ”ecological fisheries”.
With the inclusion of spirulina in the pilot catalogue of “medicine and food of the same origin”
by the National Health Commission,and the formulation of industry standards,
the clearance rate of small and medium-sized production capacity has accelerated,
and the market share has been further concentrated to the head
Domestic companies such as Green A and Cheng Haibaoer have ranked among the top three spirulina in the world
through mergers and acquisitions and channel expansion
while foreign brands such as Japan’s DIC have a market share of less than 5% due to approval barriers and consumer preferences.In the next five years,
companies with the ability to integrate the entire industrial chain and precise consumption insight will dominate the market and promote China’s spirulina industry to the high-end of the global value chain.
At the same time, China has actively participated in the formulation of international standards, promoted the establishment of a full-chain standard system covering quality classification, testing methods
and packaging labeling, and enhanced its international voice.
The “Chinese story” of spirulina is transforming from resource output to brand output and technology output, becoming a new benchmark for the global health industry.
