CCMsent nearly 400 questionnaires to manufacturers, distributors and downstream consumers of pigment industry in China. Follow-up telephone interviews sought their more detailed opinions. To ensure that the people answering the questionnaire had as much knowledge as possible about the products they were dealing with, and to ensure their answers reflect the overall situation in China, the analysis excluded any response that did not seem rational even after a telephone interview.
Generally, the political factor plays an important role in the economy of China. On one hand, the policies issued by the Chinese government have strong impact, positively or negatively, on many industries in the country. On the other hand, the government, to some extent, participates in the economic activities directly. During the last few years, government procurements have taken an inevitable share in some industries in China.
The overall political environment is stable in China. As a one-party state, the general political environment of China is stable, without obvious changes. In addition, the term of government in China lasts for 5 years officially, but usually 10 years in practice. Therefore, its general policies show a coherent trend.
2013 is the election year of the Chinese government. With the new government coming into power from 2013, it can be found that the policy direction is different from the last term. Though both governments are concerned about the economic development, some economic policies are adjusted obviously, which have exerted some impact on the pigment industry in China.
