The production of sorbitol, an important sugar alcohol which can be used in the production of Vitamin C, food, DHP (Daily Health Products), pharmaceutical and so on, used to be mainly concentrated in Europe and North America in the past, but now the global sorbitol production center has now shifted to Asia Pacific.

At present, many international sorbitol enterprises and investors, attracted by the lower costs of labor, raw material and land, such as French Roquette, are inclined to set up plants or seek for partner in Asia Pacific region, especially in developing countries in this region. These actions have driven the development of sorbitol production in Asia Pacific significantly. Besides, as many large players in sorbitol’s key downstream industries are also distributed in Asia Pacific, the sorbitol market demand in Asia Pacific is also large.
