Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/74b44d/future_of_pvc_indu) has announced the addition of the "Future of PVC Industry in China" report to their offering.
Driven by China's rapidly developing economy in past few years, PVC industry in China has witnessed great development. Since 2005, China has been the largest manufacturer and consumer of PVC in the world, sharing about 30% global PVC output and consumption per year.
Different from most overseas countries, China adopts both calcium carbide method and ethylene method, since China has abundant calcium carbide resources. In 2008, PVC by calcium carbide method captures 70.74% of the total output in China.
After rapid expansion in the past five years, calcium carbide PVC has encountered great competition from ethylene PVC, especially after the price fall of crude oil since July 2008. How the dynamics of raw materials has affected PVC production in China? What is the production situation with these two methods in 2008 and 2009? What the trend of China's PVC production and market in the next 10 years, especially for calcium carbide method, will be?
Though China is still a net importer of PVC, its import volume has reduced greatly after 2003. After the price slump of crude oil in 2008, has the import and export of PVC changed in 2008 and 2009?
A major driver for the increasing PVC output in China is the growing demand from downstream industries, whose development trend and PVC consumption for the next 5-10 years is provided with forecast details in this report.
The report also covers the following aspects of China's PVC industry:
- Government regulations on PVC industry in China
- All PVC producers in China, especially for calcium carbide PVC, and their plan for future PVC projects
