Description:

Stevia sweetener industry in China consists of three segments, namely stevia planting, stevia sweetener processing and stevia sweetener consumption, involving hundreds of thousands of players including stevia farmers, stevia leaf traders, stevia sweetener producers, traders and end users. China saw fast expansion in stevia planting area after the dramatic increase in stevia leaf price in 2014. However, the expanding planting area has led to oversupply of stevia leaves, and thus the stevia planting area shrinks in 2017 and the decrease is expected to continue. Meanwhile, product structure of stevia sweeteners has changed. Stevia sweetener market is fueled by the expansion of application range of stevioside in food industry. Consumption of stevia sweeteners is expected to maintain a stable growth from 2018 to 2022.



Stevia sweetener industry in China is currently at its growing stage, but stevia leaf price, the major driver of industry development, experienced great fluctuations in the past ten years. Planting areas of stevia, output of stevia sweeteners are fluctuating with the trend of stevia leaf price. It is necessary for companies to foresee the trends of stevia leaf market.



In 2014, as most of the stevia sweetener producers had using up their stevia leaf storage, they began to actively purchase stevia leaves again. Since there was not enough stevia leaf supplied in the market, due to small planting area, the stevia leaf price rose dramatically to RMB18/kg in 2014 from RMB10/kg in 2013, which led to enormous expansion of stevia planting area in China during 2015–2016. After the stevia leaf price hike in 2014, many farmers started to plant stevia or expanded stevia planting area in the following years. In 2015, stevia planting area increased by 146% compared to that in 2014 although stevia leaf price declined a little bit. Stevia planting area reached the historical peak in 2016, at 24,799 ha. In 2017, after two years' continuous expansion, stevia planting area shrunk.



Overcapacity occurs in stevia sweetener industry as in other industries in China, as there were expectations of big increase in production due to steady economic growth in last decades. Moreover, local governments and manufacturers adopted investment scale and investment growth as key indicators of performance, to some extent, encouraging the overexpansion. As Chinese government proceeds to adjust policy regarding investment and overcapacity, overcapacity is going to decline in coming years.



Output of stevia sweeteners in China climbed steadily with a CAGR of about 4% from 2013 to 2016, and China's total output volume exceeded 4,000 tonnes by the end of 2016. With steady growing demand, stevia sweetener output will continue to increase in coming years.
