my country’s alginate fiber industry chain is complete and the future market development space needs to be expanded

Alginate fiber, referred to as alginate fiber, refers to a high value-added functional fiber material prepared from alginate extracted from kelp, sargassum, kelp and other marine algae plants. Alginate fiber is a kind of bio-based fiber. It has good antibacterial, non-toxic, harmless, degradable and renewable properties, as well as excellent moisture absorption, oxygen permeability, compatibility, gel-forming, environmental protection, easy removal, and anti-oxidation properties. Radiation properties, etc., can be widely used in textile, medical and other fields.

After recent years of development, my country’s alginate fiber has made major breakthroughs in technology. It has not only broken the foreign technology monopoly, but also formed an industry ranging from upstream alginate extraction and midstream alginate fiber preparation to downstream medical dressings, sanitary products, With a complete industrial chain of special textile production and sales, the industry has shown a good development trend.

From the upstream of the industrial chain, my country has vast sea territory, rich seaweed and seafood resources such as seaweed, nori, macroalgae, and kelp, and has a good foundation for industry development. At present, there are many alginate production companies in my country, including Qingdao Mingyue Seaweed Group, Qingdao Haizhilin Biotechnology, Lianyungang Tiantian Seaweed Industry, etc. As domestic companies continue to upgrade their technology, alginate production continues to increase, and its domestic production will exceed 20,000 tons in 2022.

From the midstream of the industry chain, according to the “Alginate Fiber Industry Market In-depth Research and Investment Prospects Forecast Analysis Report 2023-2028” released by the Industrial Research Center It shows that there are a large number of alginate manufacturing companies in my country, mainly including Qingdao Hisel New Material Technology, Qingdao Mingyue Seaweed Group, Zhejiang Yuelong Group Shaoxing Blue Ocean Technology, Qingdao Yuanhai New Material Technology, Qingdao Ge Cheng Jingwei Biotechnology, etc.

From the downstream of the industrial chain, alginate fiber is mainly used in the textile and medical fields. In the medical field, alginate fiber can be used in medical dressing production scenarios due to its high hygroscopicity and gel-forming properties. This product can absorb tissue exudate, stimulate the growth of skin tissue, and accelerate wound healing. It is suitable for treating bedsores, Chronic ulcer wounds such as burns; in the textile field, alginate fiber can be used in the production of textile materials such as maternal and child hygiene products and adult incontinence products due to its antibacterial properties. At the same time, it can be used in special textiles due to its far-infrared heating and fire retardancy. production scene.

Industry analysts said that in recent years, driven by the rapid development of the downstream market, the alginate fiber market has The scale shows a continuous expansion trend. The domestic alginate fiber market size will reach 3.15 billion yuan in 2022, and the industry has entered a stage of rapid development. However, at present, domestic alginate fiber is only used in the textile and medical fields, with a narrow application scope and a relatively single consumer group. In the future, relevant companies will need to conduct in-depth research on alginate fiber and continuously open up market development space.
