This report provides an extensive cost evaluation of taurine production from aziridine and sulfurous acid. The production process begins with the chemical reaction between the two reactants, i.e., aziridine and sulfurous acid, and directly leads to the formation of taurine as the final product.
Top Producers of Taurine
- The Honjo Chemical Corporation
- Mitsui Chemicals, Inc.
- Qianjiang Yongan Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.
- Stauber USA
- Foodchem International Corporation
Feedstock for Taurine
Taurine is an organic chemical compound produced by using ethylene oxide, sodium bisulfite, ammonia or aziridine, and sulfurous acid as its major feedstock. The procurement of taurine is directly governed by some crucial factors, including the availability of its raw materials (including sulfurous acid and aziridine or ethylene oxide, sodium bisulfite, and ammonia for taurine production), along with the variation in its production cost and market prices, etc.
Other factors, such as its demand in the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors as well as food and beverages industries, also impact its procurement process around the world. Moreover, prominent factors, including the trade, logistics, and distribution activities, along with the financial and governmental policies, strongly govern its global procurement.
