Alanine, or 2-aminopropionic acid, is a non-polar α-amino acid of the aliphatic group, which is the basic unit of protein and one of the 21 amino acids that make up human proteins. Alanine is a non-polar aliphatic α-amino acid, which includes D-alanine, L-alanine, DL-alanine, β-alanine and other types, and the role of different types of products is different. Alanine is a small variety of amino acids, which are widely used in daily chemicals, medicine, health care products, food additives and feed.
From the perspective of production process, the production process of alanine includes natural extraction method, chemical synthesis method, biological manufacturing method (enzyme method, fermentation method, etc.). In recent years, with the increasingly strict environmental protection supervision and the gradual breakthrough of related technologies, the production capacity of chemical synthesis method has been gradually eliminated, and alanine has begun to use biomanufacturing methods such as enzymatic method and fermentation method. At this stage, China is in the transition from a big amino acid producer to a strong producer, with the continuous optimization of related production processes, and the improvement of independent innovation capabilities of enterprises, the development of China's alanine industry will continue to improve.
According to the "2021-2025 China Alanine Industry Market Analysis Research Report" released by the New Thinking Industry Research Center, in recent years, thanks to the improvement of engineering bacteria process technology, the cost of alanine production has gradually declined, in this context, the application field of alanine has been further expanded, and its market demand has increased accordingly. From 2016 to 2020, the average annual compound growth rate of global alanine demand reached 12.4%, and it is expected that in 2021, global demand for alanine will reach 68,000 tons.
Globally, the alanine market is mainly concentrated in the United States, Japan, Europe and China and other countries and regions, and the related production enterprises are Musashi, Chemical Co., Ltd., Ainomoto, Evonik, Kyowa Hakko, Huaheng Bio, Feng biochemical, Yantai Hengyuan, etc. China is the world's largest producer and consumer of alanine, the domestic alanine production capacity accounts for about 86.4% of the global production capacity, of which Huaheng Bio's market share in the field of alanine series products is close to 50%.
L-Alanine is the most widely used subdivision type in the alanine series of products, and its application areas involve daily chemicals, medicine, health care products and food additives. In the field of daily chemicals, L-alanine can be used to synthesize chelating agent MGDA, amino acid surfactants, daily chemical washing and other products; in the field of medicine and health care products, L-alanine can be used to synthesize vitamin B6, propylene glutapeptide, antibacterial drugs, hepatitis C therapeutic drugs, etc.
New thinking industry analysts said that alanine belongs to a small variety of amino acids, its downstream application areas are extensive, in recent years, with the transformation of China from a large amino acid producer to a production power, China's alanine production technology level continues to improve, the industrial structure has been continuously optimized. At this stage, China has become the world's largest producer of alanine, of which Huaheng Bio is a leading enterprise in the industry.
