During the past four years, substantial changes of the industry setup have taken place. The most important products manufactured by fermentation are still the same -- crude antibiotics, organic acids, amino acids, enzymes, vitamins, polysaccharides, and carotenoids. For virtually all of these categories, markets expanded strongly, but the production landscape changed massively.
The market value of crude-fermentation-derived antibiotics is estimated at $1.8 billion for the year 2008. This value is much less than the estimates of many analysts as it refers to the actual trade value of crude products and is supposed to reflect reality more accurately. Consumption increased by more than 10% per year during the past five years, but prices, after some erratic movements in 2006 and 2007, are back to the standard low levels. In contrast to expectations, expansion of consumption took place primarily in the veterinary and in-feed sectors.

The report reviews the global fermentation industry with emphasis on major fermentation-derived products used in food, feed, pharmaceutical, and technical applications. It provides the most up-to-date information on quantities manufactured, prices and market value developments, and on industry structures. It enables the reader to understand the industry in general, provides in particular insight into the inter-relationship between the ethanol and other carbohydrate-using industries.
