The Plant Extract Industry Opens A Bright Moment, Extraction Equipment Empowers Quality Upgrades To Prevent Colorectal Cancer?

In recent years, affected by consumption upgrades, improved health awareness, favorable policies, and increased market demand, my country's plant extraction industry has developed rapidly, and the market scale is also expanding. With people's continued attention to health products, the plant extract industry is ushering in a bright moment. In this context, the plant extraction equipment industry also ushered in a good development opportunity.

In recent years, the market size of the plant extract industry has ushered in rapid growth, especially in developed countries and regions such as Europe and the United States. The demand for plant extracts has continued to increase, which has driven the development of the industry. Data show that in 2019, the global plant extract market is worth about 23.6 billion US dollars, and it is expected to exceed 59.3 billion US dollars by 2025, with a compound annual growth rate of 16.5%. It is expected that in the future, the global plant extract industry will continue to be promoted by the increased concept of healthy eating and maintain a growth trend.

my country's plant extract industry is in a stage of rapid development. With the upgrading of consumption and the increasing awareness of healthy eating, the market's call for "returning to nature" is heating up. Plant extracts have attracted more and more attention from the food and pharmaceutical industries, and have become one of the rapidly developing industries in China. my country is rich in plant resources, among which more than 300 types can be used for plant extracts. As the world's major exporter of plant extracts, my country's export of plant extracts has continued to rise in recent years.

At present, from the perspective of application fields, plant extracts have been used in the fields of food and beverages, ready-to-eat foods, baked goods, meat and eggs, seasonings, health foods and sports nutrition. Among them, sports nutrition products have become one of the categories with very rapid growth in the application of plant extracts, followed by alcoholic beverages, sauces and condiments, instant foods, snacks, meat products and egg products, etc. It can be said that under the increasing market demand for health products, the plant extract industry is ushering in a "highlight moment".

With the continuous advancement of science and technology, the breakthrough development and application of advanced extraction technologies such as ultrasonic extraction, supercritical extraction, microwave extraction, membrane separation, etc., the types of extracts are becoming more abundant, and the extraction efficiency, speed and purity have been significantly improved. The plant extract industry has entered the "fast lane" of development. As far as the food industry is concerned, the extracts include lycopene, beet red, steviol glycosides, mogrosides, inulin, oligofructose, anthocyanins, curcumin, hop extracts, etc.

In fact, the extraction process of plant extracts is not simple. It needs to be processed through multiple processes such as extraction, separation, purification, and drying, and requires high production conditions and production technology. Ultrasonic extraction tanks, separation equipment, and separation purification machines Advanced equipment such as supercritical extraction, microwave extraction, membrane separation and other advanced technologies have been used in the production of extracts. The application of these equipment and technologies has not only improved the industry's extraction technology and equipment level, but also improved efficiency and finished product quality.

In recent years, as labor dividends have gradually weakened and labor costs have remained high, how to improve the quality of extracted products in an environment where the country advocates green production, energy saving and emission reduction concepts, and the market's increasing requirements for the quality of plant extracts and efficiency, reducing energy consumption and costs have become the focus of the plant extract industry. Therefore, individual plant extraction equipment manufacturers must keep pace with the times and continue to innovate and upgrade their products, such as changing the traditional forward and oblique cone designs, adopting non-cone and mushroom structure designs, heating uniformly, no dead ends, and reducing heat source consumption.

China's plant extracts export prospects are good, coupled with the continuous introduction of favorable industrial support policies, it is estimated that the market size of China's plant extracts industry may exceed 34.1 billion yuan by 2022. The release of plant extract market development potential will also drive the demand for plant extraction equipment. Relevant equipment manufacturers should continue to improve equipment, optimize and upgrade, integrate more intelligent elements, improve equipment comprehensive performance, further improve extraction efficiency, shorten extraction time, reduce energy consumption and ensure finished product quality, and win a larger market share.
