Production and Market of Glucono-delta-lactone in China

In recent years, China’s glucono-delta-lactone (GDL) has seen stable development, and China has become one of the major GDL manufacturing countries in the world, playing an increasingly important role in global GDL supply.

This report researches the GDL industry in light of state industrial policy, development of technology, situation of consumption, situation of supply and import and export, etc through study the entire industrial chain of GDL. To explore the above key aspects, you can find the answers to the following questions in the updated report.

• What is production situation of China's GDL in the past few years and in 2010?
• Who are the major manufacturers and exporters of GDL?
• What are the prices of China's GDL now?
• What's the import and export situation of GDL?
• What are the commercial opportunities in China's GDL industry?
• What are the key factors influencing the development of GDL industry?
• What are the development trends of GDL in the following five years?

Besides, based on the original report finished in middle 2006, CCM has carried out in-depth research and analysis to figure out the future development trend. Aspects as follows have been updated:

• Export analysis in 2009 and H1 2010
• Latest consumption situation in China
• Industry competition and structure analysis
• Latest first-hand data of each producer

For deeper research and analysis, CCM has also focused on:

• Export trend
• Domestic consumption trend
• Raw material supply
• Production situation and future development trend

Information in the report can help readers grasp general production and consumption situation of GDL in China, and can provide reference for readers’ decision as well.
