Chrysanthemum, as a traditional medicinal and edible dual-purpose delicacy in China, has long surpassed the scope of simple tea consumption and has formed a complete industrial chain covering multiple fields. From daily consumption of chrysanthemum tea and chrysanthemum preserves, to chrysanthemum extracts and medicinal preparations in the medical field, to chrysanthemum skin care ingredients and fragrance products in the beauty industry, as well as in fields such as landscaping and fresh-cut flower decoration, the diverse application scenarios of chrysanthemum continue to expand, and market demand steadily rises. According to data from the International Tea Council, the global market size of chrysanthemum tea reached 4.73 billion US dollars in 2024, with China accounting for 73.5% of the global production and remaining as a core production area. Geographical indication chrysanthemum from places like Zhejiang Tongxiang and Anhui Huangshan have achieved brand premium thanks to their high quality, and the upgrading of processing techniques is becoming a key breakthrough to tap into the higher commercial value of chrysanthemum. The popularization of freeze-drying technology has enabled chrysanthemum to fully exert its nutritional and morphological advantages, further activating its potential in the high-end market. Compared with traditional chrysanthemum processing methods (natural air-drying and hot air drying), the advantages of freeze-drying technology are particularly prominent, making it the preferred solution for high-end chrysanthemum processing. The traditional air-drying method has a long cycle (7-10 days) and is greatly affected by the environment, prone to mold, spoilage, and bacterial growth, and the heat-sensitive active components such as chlorogenic acid and luteolin in chrysanthemum are severely lost, causing the flower shape to collapse and the color to become dull, significantly reducing the commercial value; hot air drying slightly improves efficiency but causes the aroma of chrysanthemum to evaporate and nutrients to be lost, with a loss rate of over 30% for flavonoids, and the taste becomes dry. The freeze-drying machine uses the principle of low-temperature vacuum sublimation to directly sublimate the moisture of chrysanthemum at -40°C to -30°C, which can maximize the retention of chrysanthemum's natural shape, color, and nutritional components, with an active component retention rate of over 92%, excellent rehydration properties, and can restore the fresh color of the chrysanthemum after brewing, while effectively extending the shelf life to over 18 months and allowing for long-term storage without the need for preservatives, which is in line with the current "zero additives, natural and healthy" consumption demands and can significantly enhance product value, doubling the added value of ordinary chrysanthemum. The market prospects for freeze-dried chrysanthemum are vast and it is a highly promising investment project that suits various investors. With the upgrading of health consumption, the demand for natural functional products among the Z Generation and the elderly is continuously increasing. Freeze-dried chrysanthemum, due to its complete nutrient retention and convenient consumption, not only occupies a high-end share in the tea-drinking market but is also widely used in instant beverages, dietary supplements, and high-end gifts. In 2024, the export order volume of freeze-dried chrysanthemum-related products in China increased by 31.5% compared to the previous year, with a market growth rate far exceeding that of traditional processed chrysanthemum. From an investment perspective, the threshold of the freeze-dried chrysanthemum project is flexible. Small investors can start from rough processing, relying on existing chrysanthemum production areas, combining with small freeze-drying machines, and focusing on the high-end herbal tea market. The investment is small, the turnover is fast, and the risks are controllable. Large enterprises can expand into the deep processing field, develop chrysanthemum extracts, freeze-dried chrysanthemum powder, etc., and connect with pharmaceutical and beauty enterprises to achieve higher added value. In addition, the national "14th Five-Year Plan" for traditional Chinese medicine policy support for the policy of food and medicine being the same has provided policy support for the industry, and chrysanthemum has been included in the key development list, further reducing investment risks. In the future, with the popularization of freeze-drying technology, freeze-dried chrysanthemum will gradually replace traditional processed products and become the core engine for the high-quality development of the chrysanthemum industry. The investment prospects are worth looking forward to.
