Production and Market of Pentaerythritol in China

Driven by the rapid development of China’s economy in past few years, China’s pentaerythritol industry has witnessed great development. In the past 10 years, pentaerythritol's production had been transferred from the EU and North America to Asia, and now China is the world's production center of pentaerythritol. The capacity of pentaerythritol in China accounts for more than 50% of the total global capacity.

The main consumption fields of pentaerythritol are alkyd resin, polyurethane, lubricant and rosin ester. With the rapid development of China's economy, China's industries develop quickly, espeically the automobile and construction industry. And with the strong demand from these two industries, the output of China's paint has increased quickly in recent years and China became the largest paint producer in the world in 2009. This means that the demand for pentaerythritol is also getting stronger and stronger. In the meantime, with the pentaerythritol industry shift, the demand from overseas especially form the EU and the US is stronger and stronger.

This strong demand drives China's pentaerythritol to develop quickly, but the fast development leads to overcapacity of China's pentaerythritol production. The competition among Chinese pentaerythritol producers is getting more and more intense and the profit of pentaerythritol for most producers is low. The technology problem, enviroment protection and appreciation of RMB also affect many pentaerythritol producers in China. For most pentaerythritol producers in China, how to deal with the existing and emerging challenges? And how the enterprise innovation and industry upgrading would be carried out in pentaerythritol industry in China?

To figure out these problems, in this report, CCM provides you a deep investigation into China's pentaerythritol industry. The report is the seventh edition of CCM's pentaerythritol report and mainly focuses on the following aspects:

• Current production situation of pentaerythritol in China
• SWOT analysis on main pentaerythritol producers in China
• Import and export analysis on pentaerythritl in China, 2009-2011
• Consumption pattern in different end use segments
• Introduction to production technology in China
• Competitive power analysis on Chinese pentaerythritol industry
• Outlook of the pentaerythritol industry in China, 2011-2015
