Industry Definition and Segmentation

Pantothenic acid, generally known as vitamin B5, is a water-soluble B vitamin required for good health. Everyone needs pantothenic acid to manufacture coenzyme A (CoA), which is necessary for fatty acid metabolism and synthesising and metabolising proteins, carbs, and lipids in general. It aids in memory function, skin health, and stamina in humans is essential for the proper functioning of the neurological system. Calcium D-pantothenate, which is commercially available, is synthesised. It is typically utilised in animal feed, medicines, cosmetics, and nutritional supplements and is offered in vitamin B5 supplements due to its functional advantages. The D Calcium Pantothenate (Vit B5) industry report comprises segments by application (Dietary Supplement, Food and Beverage Industry, Infant Nutrition, Nutraceuticals and Pharmaceuticals, Animal Feed, Others) and region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa, and South America).

North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East & Africa, and South America Regions are Driving the Growth of the Industry

Based on region, China is the largest producer of D Calcium Pantothenate. The cost of raw materials for Vitamin B5 has risen for Chinese manufacturers. As a result, the global price of Calpin has increased by 8.7% since the start of 2021. The wide range of health benefits that the vitamin offers, such as overall growth of the body and minimised risk of potential health conditions that can occur from the deficiency of the same, is primarily leading the market's growth. Furthermore, the product finds application in various products like infant nutrition, animal feed, and other wellness products are contributing to the market's expansion. Other factors impacting the market positively are growing health concerns among consumers, rising disposable incomes and increased spending on supplement products.

Other replacements are the critical limitation in the pantothenic acid market. Furthermore, the movement in customer preferences from synthetic to organic and natural foods impedes the market's overall growth.

Category Management Studies

Bacteria make pantothenic acid from the amino acids’ aspartate and a precursor to valine. The amino acid aspartate is transformed into the amino acid -alanine. The amino group of valines is replaced by a keto-moiety to produce -ketoisovalerate, which subsequently makes -ketopantoate when a methyl group is transferred, and finally D-pantoate (also known as pantoic acid) after reduction. Later, the -alanine and pantoic acid are combined to generate pantothenic acid. For men and women aged 19 and above, the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) is 5 mg per day. The dose increases to 6 mg and 7 mg daily during pregnancy and lactation, respectively.

The Animal Feed Application Segment, further Raising the Procurement of D Calcium Pantothenate (Vit B5)

Due to its protein, carbohydrate, and fat metabolism functions, calcium pantothenate is vital for all significant cattle and pet species. Pigs and poultry require vitamin supplementation in their feed. In addition, it is also an essential component in improving the overall appearance of skin which is increasing its popularity. Due to hectic lifestyles, consumers lack proper nutritional values, resulting in an increased demand for dietary supplements.

The regional markets for the industry can be divided into North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and the Asia Pacific.

Key Industry Players Mentioned in the D Calcium Pantothenate (Vit B5) Industry Report

  • Yifan Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.
  • DSM Nutritional Products Europe Ltd
  • Xinfa Pharmaceutical Industry Limited Company
  • BASF
  • Zhejiang Hangzhou Xinfu Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.

Market Landscape

As a result of rising health issues and allergies caused by vitamin b5 deficiency, producers in the pantothenic acid market have several chances worldwide. The key players have a lot of room to develop in the market because the total intake of vitamins from everyday food sources is declining. As a result of decreasing vitamin intake, producers in fast-paced and industrialised nations such as the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, and others have enormous potential. There has been a noticeable increase in the number of health and diet-conscious individuals worldwide, which provides significant prospects for pantothenic acid market participants.

Key Initiatives by Companies

  • Huazhong Pharmaceutical announced the acquisition of Zaoyang Jin'ante Chemical Co. as a wholly owned subsidiary on April 7th, 2021. Jin'ante possesses the technology to produce essential Vitamin B5 intermediates. Huazhong Pharmaceutical has optimised the vitamin B5 manufacturing chain due to this purchase. Furthermore, DSM revealed that the price of calcium pantothenate has increased by 40%. Both pieces of information point to a price increase.
