According to the latest research, the global Lactulose market size was valued at USD 167.18 million in 2022 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 2.82% during the forecast period, reaching USD 197.49 million by 2028.
Lactulose is a configuration of fructose and galactose. This can be manufactured by isomerization of lactose. It is a prebiotic carbohydrate that inspires the development of fitness endorsing microorganisms in the digestive area. Similarly, this could be utilized for the treatment of hepatic encephalopathy, tumor deterrence, and constipation in addition to uphold the level of insulin and blood glucose.
The epidemic has had a great impact on the macro-economy and various industries, and the industries operated by the company have also been affected to a certain extent. Specifically, it shows the weak supply and demand caused by the delayed resumption of work in upstream and downstream, and the poor procurement and sales caused by the obstruction of logistics. First of all, for Lactulose industry, the epidemic has affected the production plans of Lactulose industry companies. Due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic, the operation of manufacturing factories of lactose, sodium hydroxide and other related raw materials was affected. This may lead to the interruption of raw material supply in Lactulose industry, thus affecting the company's production plan. On the other hand, due to the influence of COVID-19 epidemic, in order to prevent the epidemic from spreading further, the government introduced travel restrictions and related isolation policies, which reduced the management efficiency of enterprises in Lactulose industry and affected the company's production plan.
Market Driver
Lactulose is widely used.
Lactulose is a disaccharide, in which glucose in lactose molecule is replaced by fructose, which is sweeter and slightly sweeter than lactose. Lactulose does not exist in nature. It is a synthetic disaccharide, but there is a small amount of lactulose in boiled milk and condensed milk. It is not only a good sweetener, but also has the physiological functions of invigorating stomach, moistening intestines and preventing constipation. It can also be used as a functional additive for dairy products, beverages, infants and old-age foods, and can also be made into health drinks for direct drinking.
Market Restraints
The environment is becoming stricter and stricter.
Environmental pollution has become a constant problem plaguing human beings. Dust, landfills, non-degradable substances, wastewater, etc. produced by industrial production, because of their wide range, large volume and extremely complex composition, far exceed the self-repairing ability of the environment, and become the most important source of pollution, leading to overdraft of environmental resources. Ecology has been severely damaged. For the Lactulose industry, companies generate wastewater, exhaust air and solid waste during the production of their products. Lactulose industry companies must comply with environmental laws and regulations on air, water quality, solid waste disposal, etc., and be inspected by relevant environmental protection departments. If the company's pollutant discharge index does not meet the relevant standards, it will be punished by the relevant environmental protection department and increase the company's operating costs. Increasingly stringent environmental policies are one of the challenges facing companies in the industry.
