FSMP registration and approval status

As of April 1, 2024, a total of 181 FSMPs have obtained approval. Of these, 148 are domestically produced, while 33 are imported. Notably, among the 181 approved products, powdered formulations predominate, with 137 being powdered, whereas the remaining 44 are in liquid form.

Analysis of registered FSMP Types

Since the successful registration of the first infant formula for special medical purposes in 2017, the pathway for registering FSMP has officially opened. As shown in Figure 3, it initially saw high registrations followed by a decline, with registrations predominantly concentrated in 2018 and 2019. On the other hand, registrations for nutritionally incomplete formulas were focused in 2021 and 2023. In 2022, although the overall registration was relatively low, there was an increase in the variety of registered products, including the first specific nutritionally complete formula food. In 2023, the first thickening module was introduced, and registrations mainly centered around both nutritionally complete and incomplete products, accounting for as much as 87%. Compared to the registration volume in 2022, there was a significant surge in registrations in 2023. By the first quarter of 2024, 17 new products have been added, indicating a strong momentum, with specific nutritionally complete foods still requiring further breakthroughs.

Detailed FSMP registration types over the years are illustrated in the figure below.

Analysis of applying companies

In terms of applicants, a total of 52 companies have obtained FSMP registrations. Among these, 44 are domestic companies holding registration certificates. Nestlé continues to lead with the highest number of approved products in China, totaling 15 products, followed by Jilin Maifu. Global industry leaders like Nestlé, Abbott, and Nutricia have secured approvals for products in both non-infant and infant FSMP categories. Meanwhile, domestic companies exhibit a trend towards product specialization. Domestic pharmaceutical companies primarily focus on non-infant FSMP, whereas domestic dairy companies concentrate on infant FSMP. Only a few companies are involved in both infant and non-infant FSMP sectors. In terms of the number of registered companies and products, domestic companies have surpassed foreign counterparts and now dominate the market Currently, FSMP registrations are predominantly held by dairy, nutrition, and pharmaceutical companies.
