In 2020, China imported a total of 3.37 million tons of various types of dairy products, an increase of 10.2% year-on-year, with value of $12.50 billion, up 6.5% year-on-year. Among them, the import amount of whole milk powder in 1.31 million tons, down 3.3% year-on-year, the value is $8.36 billion, up 0.5% year-on-year; the import amount of infant and young children formula milk powder is 0.335 million tons, down 3.1% year-on-year, the value is $5.07 billion, down 2.4% year-on-year.

In 2020, in terms of infant and young children milk powder, the food regulatory agency of the State Council issued a total of 34 relevant regulations; 49 drafts for comments; 32 relevant food standards, of which 21 are national food safety standards, accounting for 55% of the total number of national food safety standards issued in 2020. Local food regulatory agencies issued a total of 39 relevant regulations.

In 2020, SAMR totally approved 70 applications for registration of infant and young children formula milk powder products, including 11 domestic enterprises, with a total of formulas; 4 oversea enterprises, with a total of 19 formulas. The outbreak of COVID-19 has had a tremendous impact on the food industry, and the infant formula milk powder industry is no exception, especially the on-site review of formula registration. SAMR issued a notice in February to postpone the on-site review of special food registration during the epidemic prevention and control period, which undoubtedly delayed the progress of the registration and approval of infant and young children formula milk powder formula, especially for overseas manufacturers.

In 2020, NHC issued 10 new versions of food nutritional fortification substance standards including GB 1903.43-2020 National Food Safety Standard Food Nutrient Fortifier Cyanocobalamin, which is more in line with the actual situation of products, and caters to the development of the industry. It’s worth noting that all of these 10 food nutritional fortification substances can be used in infant formula milk powder, which is good news for enterprises, prompting the industry to be more standardized and facilitating the implementation of enterprises.
