Summary

Although chitosan industry in China has developed for about twenty years, it is still immature. There are few large-scale enterprises, and most are township enterprises with unscientific production and management. There is no strict and uniform product standard either, which results in some confusions in the chitosan price in China's market.

What's the production cost in China's chitosan producers? What constitute this production cost? What's the profit margin to Chinese producers?

In order to find the answers to these questions, CCM carries out this benchmarking analysis to China's chitosan production at present.

After various chitosan production methods are introduced briefly, the report dwells on the most popular method for the benchmark of chitosan production cost and profit in China by finding answers to the following questions:

What raw materials are involved in Chinese chitosan production?
What is the cost structure of the raw materials?
How does the cost structure of the raw material differ for the production of different specifications of chitosan, namely industrial grade chitosan, including 70% DAC degree and 85% DAC degree, food grade chitosan, including 90% DAC degree and 95% DAC degree?
What are the manufacturing cost structures for different specifications of chitosan?
What is the management cost?
What's the production cost from chitin to chitosan? And how does it differ from that with shrimp and crab shell as the starting material?
What's the profit in Chinese manufacturers?

This report also provides a case analysis, with Jiangsu Xincheng as the object.

With this report, the reader will have a clear picture of China's chitosan production level and know where China is weak and where it is strong in chitosan production.
