Specialty Elastomers Market Research (China) ..

This report has been prepared on base of continuous market watch from 1997 to 2002. It consists of the following parts:

  - Production & Market Information

In this part, the situation of isophytol, TMHQ and vitamin E oil, E50 have been introduced and discussed from aspects of production, pricing, market, import & export, etc. We took great effort in analysizing the export situation of vitamin E oil and E50 from 1998 to 2001, 2000 & 2001 in particular. The export situation of Chinese manufacturers as per 2000 & 2001 has been discussed. At the end of this part, we made mass balance of vitamin E family materials including isophytol, TMHQ, vitamin E 50% powder, vitamin E oil 93%, vitamin E oil 96% & 98%, to visualize a whole picture of this industry in China.

  - Production Benchmarking of Synthetic Vitamin E Oil

In this part, the production process for synthetic vitamin E oil has been described. A model has been set up to reflect the actual rout in China. A scientific method is employed to estimate the raw material cost, total production cost and the profit of major Chinese producers. The situation of major two Chinese manufacturers is compared in order to assess the competitiveness of Chinese production technology and to find out how the Chinese producers finalize the price fixing for their materials.

  - Situation of Chinese Manufacturers

In this part, the isophytol manufacturers, TMHQ manufacturers, and vitamin E oil manufacturers has been introduced from aspects of history, production technology, production, marketing strategy, future plan, comments to the other industrial players, etc. The information is based on the previous contact with Chinese manufacturers including site visit. The interrelationship between the Chinese manufacturers has also been summarized.

The aim of this report is:

  - to describe the whole picture of synthetic vitamin E industries in China

  - to reflect how the Chinese synthetic vitamin E industry grew in the past years

  - to uncover how Chinese manufacturers performed in the world market

  - to evaluate how competitive the Chinese products is

  - to predict how this industry will go in the future
