Major Policy update in March 2026

- A 5-year monitoring period has been established for some products (e.g., Sucralose monitoring period: 2026-2031) to ensure safe usage.

Technology & Trends: Core Directions of Greenization & Precision Nutrition

1. Product Structure Upgrade
The proportion of functional additives is projected to rise to over 40% in 2026.

- Anti-biotic substitute products such as enzymes, probiotics/microbial preparations, and plant extracts are seeing significant growth.

- In 2024, the growth rate of enzymes and microbial preparations reached 15.2% and 18.6% respectively.

2. Deepening of Precision Nutrition

- Low-crude protein diet technology is being widely promoted. By 2026, the average crude protein content in finishing pig feed is expected to drop to 14.5% (a 2 percentage point decrease from 2020).

- This is achieved by balancing nutrition through synthetic amino acids, reducing reliance on soybean imports.

3. Intelligent Integration
Big data and AI are deeply integrated into R&D and production.

- AI-assisted design accelerates the development of new additives.

- Precision feeding protocols based on individual animal differences have been implemented, improving production efficiency and product stability.

International Trade: Enhanced Export Resilience, Emerging Markets as Focus

1. Export Performance
In 2025, exports reached USD 3.86 billion, a year-on-year increase of 9.1%.

- Southeast Asia, South America, and Africa are the key export markets. Among these, Southeast Asia's market share has risen to 34% - 38%.

2. Competitive Category Advantages

- Products such as Vitamin E, Choline Chloride, and Phytase possess strong international competitiveness.

- China's output of feed amino acids accounts for 72.7% of the global total.

- Methionine exports saw a year-on-year increase of 20.5%.

3. Challenges & Responses

- Technical barriers to trade (such as the REACH regulation) in Europe and the Americas are becoming stricter.

- Enterprises are accelerating the acquisition of international certifications (e.g., GMP+) and shifting focus to emerging markets like Africa to mitigate trade frictions.
