Abstract
Whey powder is a high-quality protein incredient with high solubility,
favorable for the shape and form of products. When mixed with water, it will
generate viscosity and emulsification in the product. In addition, its
flexibility and frothiness is favorable for the favor of product. Whey powder
products have been broadly applied in food processing industry due to its
special carictoristics, such as infant food, bakery products, beveragem frozen
foods, candy, meat products, soup bases, etc. Demineralised whey powder uses
dozens of dialysis membrane to reduce minerals and remove soluble minerals and
wet. As a high-class whey powder product, demineralised whey powder is
suitable for infant growth, especially D90 and D70, mainly ustilising for the
production of infant formula powder.
2000-2007, China' s infant and young child formula milk powder market saw rapid
growth. The market capacity had increased from 100,000 tons in 1999 to
495,0000 tons in 2007, growing at an average annual rate of 22.96%. A further
potential will be seen in the future in infant formula powder market and
demand will be in a high level.
It is estimated that domestic market capacity for D70 and D90 were 40000 tons
and 17000 tons in 2007, respectively, 2005~2007, domestic market capacity for
D70 increased greatly, especially high-quality D90 with a surging growth.
China imports of D70 and D90 are mainly applied in production of infant
formula milk powder, and the key users are Sanlu, Yili, Synutra, Nestle,
Dumex, MeadJohnson, Yashili, Wyeth, etc.
At present, China Imports of D70 and D90 for the production of infant formula
milk powder come mainly from France, Finland, Netherlands and other European
countries, and also from US. But according to staff from import & export
trading companies, some large dairy enterprises in China have less recognition
of American products compared with European products.
Currently in China, well-known enterprises generally use D90 for the
production of phase I, II and III formula milk powder. D70 is more frequently
used among SME formula powder enterprises. Milk powder for different age
groups differs only in terms of content but hardly in quality. D90 has more
superior quality than D70. Phase III formula powder uses less desalinated whey
powder than Phase II formula powder, whereas phase I formula powder uses most
desalinated whey powder.
The future market has ever higher demands for the quality of infant and young
child milk powder, leading to ever higher demands for the purity of
desalinated whey powder. Renowned brands of infant and young child milk powder
will D90 to replace D70 completely. While numerous small and medium brands of
milk powder will still use D70 in large quantities for the sake of cost
control. In theory, in the years to come, China' s infant and young child
formula milk powder market will maintain a growth rate of 20% for the better
quality D90. However, due to intensifying competition in China' s infant and
young child formula milk powder market, to alleviate cost pressure, the growth
rate for D90 will be lower in reality. D70 is expected to grow at a moderate
speed.
Currently, there is no such research report related to demineralised whey
powder and its application in China, therefore, this report is valuable and
meaningful at current stage. The research team with a vast experience serves
government department, industry association, famous domestic and international
enterprises, dairy ingredient supplier, import trader. Through bilateral
communication with clients, a reliable first-hand data is collected, which
enhanced its authority and reliability. This report will be a great reference
