Price to Cost-of-raw-materials Ratio (PC) of biomanufacturing: definition and application
生物制造是中国“十四五”战略性新兴产业之一。本文作者曾经提出“道法术器”对工业生物制造的哲学指导意义。为了深入阐述生物制造中“法以立本”的原则,本文首次提出“市本率”这一创新性概念,即产品市场价格与原料成本的比值,英文全称是Price to Cost-of-raw-materials Ratio,简称PC值。市本率是一个衡量技术水平与经济价值的关键指标,具有简单、公开、透明的属性,提供了生物制造产品分类新方法,有助于指导新技术增效和降本的发展路径,预判生物产品未来制造成本及市场价格的趋势,评估新兴生物技术的产业化潜力。市本率的计算与分析,作为一种新方法学工具,将为生物制造战略新兴产业的未来发展提供顶层设计的新视角,深化对生物制造产品市场前景的理解,推动生物经济高质量发展。
Abstract
Biomanufacturing is one of the strategic emerging industries in China during the “14th Five-Year Plan” period. The author once proposed “Tao-Fa-Shu-Qi” for the industrial biomanufacturing and provided its philosophical guideline. Focusing on the “Fa” of biological manufacturing and further analyzing the concept of “Fa as rules” in biomanufacturing
the author first proposed the concept of “Price to Cost-of-raw-materials Ratio” (PC value)
which is the ratio of product market price to cost with raw materials. Biomanufactured products can be categorized by PC value into high-value products
value-added products
biocommodity
and products for public good. The PC value is a key indicator for evaluating the technological capability and economic viability of biomanufactured products. It is simple
transparent
and publicly accessible
offering a new approach for categorizing biomanufactured products. This indicator aids in guiding new technologies towards pathways of efficiency enhancement and cost reduction
forecasting future manufacturing costs and market prices for bioproducts
and assessing the industrialization potential of emerging biotechnologies. This article focuses on the biomanufacturing of fructose syrup
fructose solution
crystalline fructose
allulose
myo-inositol
and tagatose as examples
analyzing pathways for developing new technologies and predicting their economic feasibility. The calculation and analysis of the PC value could provide a new methodological tool for the top-level strategic design of the future development of emerging biomanufacturing industries
and could effectively facilitate the high-quality development of the bioeconomy.
