According to the Herbridge Media, grape seed extracts are the variety ranking top 60 in China’s exported plant extracts, which are mainly used in the health food field. Since the supplements of American grape seed extracts were pulled off shelves in the second half of 2014, the adulteration behavior of grape seed extracts has been thoroughly exposed, which directly influences the export of China’s extracts including grape seed extracts. The United States is just like an extremely frightened bird, which collects various detection modes from the folk organizations to carry out a series of identifications of China’s grape seed extracts and other products! Who will be responsible for the market supply and demand behavior?     
 
It is understood that the grape seed extracts with high quality and specifications have been sold well in nearly a year. The wind vane for purchase of international buyers has been obviously changed from the original purchase of “the cheaper, the better” to the selective grape seed extracts with high standard requirements, which will also eventually make the high quality suppliers stand out from the many suppliers!
 
International market demand is stable and domestic market demand is increased.
 
According to the Herbridge Media, the international market taking the European and American market as the main demand has been persistently stable in recent years. The demand of China's market on grape seed extracts has a sustainable growth with an annual increase rate of 30%. Grape seed extract capsule health products can be seen everywhere in all supermarkets, drugstores and other channels in China. The launch of facial masks, essences and other cosmetics made of grape seed extracts have also been quite welcomed by domestic consumers. However, there are still no corresponding standards for the detection of grape seed extracts in China at present. Is the “purely natural” tendency of consumers a bit blind?
 
According to the Herbridge Media, the main suppliers of grape seed extracts in China’s market at present include Shenzhen BannerBio Nutraceuticals Inc., Hangzhou Skyherb Technologies Co., Ltd., Guilin Layn Natural Ingredients Corp., Hebei Chenguang Biotech Group Co., Ltd., Tianjin CanSino Biotechnology Inc., etc.
 
Enterprise viewpoint
 
Extensive cultivation has been outdated, and intensive cultivation is a trend.
 
Mr. Liu, general manager of Tianjin CanSino Biotechnology Inc., said to the Herbridge Media, “The market of grape seed extracts is the gambling between true and false goods sources. Although the event that American GNC produces dietary supplements taking grape seed extracts as main ingredients has no conclusion finally, it provides a real positive energy for the whole industry! The future market of grape seed extracts is inevitably that the living space of false goods will become narrower and narrower and the living space of true goods will meet the market demand. The future market concept is no longer the extensive cultivation, but the intensive cultivation is a trend of occupying the market highland in the future!    
 
Look forward to the development of standardization
 
Hebei Chenguang Biotech Group Co., Ltd. said to the Herbridge Media, “There is a relatively large gap of microbiological requirements of relevant legal regulations of the United States, Europe and China on grape seed extracts. The requirements of the buyers from all countries and regions are different. True and false grape seed extracts cannot be distinguished well through some of them, and therefore more reasonable identification methods and the further improvement of domestic and overseas legal regulations urgently need to be provided for this variety!”
 
S Self-inspection advantages strengthen the competitiveness.
 
Shenzhen BannerBio Nutraceuticals Inc. said to the Herbridge Media, “Grape seeds from Europe are purchased due to their high active ingredient content and the traceability of grape seed source, including the controllability of pesticide residue, heavy metal and other ingredients so as to ensure the security of grape seed extract source! The technology of grape seed extracts is more mature, and the terminal market demand is relatively stable. The market price of grape seed extracts during 2013-2015 is stable, and it is a bit chaotic due to no standard market before. After the market is constantly standardized, the competition between suppliers will be who is more excellent and can provide high added-value grape seed extracts. For instance, grape seed extracts can be used in capsule products. The grape seed extracts with high ORAC (≥15000), high water solubility and light astringency can be provided for beverage manufacturers. The true and false identification method for grape seed extracts can be established to ensure the standard of the supplied grape seed extracts fully meets the requirements of USP.”
 
It is believed that the viewpoints of the above enterprises will point out the right way to industry friends!
